Seth Rollins is arguably one of the biggest heels on the WWE roster right now. Playing a bad guy on-screen comes so naturally to this renowned Superstar, as he generates a passionate response from the WWE Universe every time he enters the squared circle.

For months, The Visionary of Drip has been in a heated rivalry with WWE Hall of Famer Edge. They first clashed at WWE SummerSlam, where The Rated-R Superstar beat Rollins in what many considered to be the match of the night. The former WWE Universal Champion got his revenge a few weeks later on SmackDown when he dropped Edge with a nasty Curb Stomp to even the score at one win apiece.

The rivalry then became personal when Seth Rollins invaded Edge's house and threatened to hurt his family. To settle the score once in for all, the two Superstars will battle in a -Hell in a Cell match this coming Thursday at Crown Jewel.

This bout promises to leave fans on the edge of their seats, and it should conclude this heated storyline once and for all.

Whether he wins or loses, once Rollins is done with Edge in Saudi Arabia, he will have new challenges to look forward to. With his move to WWE RAW, he'll have plenty of potential new opponents to compete with.

In this article, we look at five possible feuds for Seth Rollins following WWE Crown Jewel.


#5 Damian Priest vs. Seth Rollins for the United States Championship

A contest between WWE United States Champion Damian Priest and Seth Rollins would pin an upcoming babyface star against one of the most established heels in the company.

Among his various accomplishments in WWE, Seth Rollins has only held the United States Championship once. He would certainly want to add to that number at some point. Plus, by feuding with Priest, Rollins could help establish The Archer of Infamy as a top star on WE RAW.

Would one Hit The Lights be enough to seal Rollin's fate? Or would Priest be put to rest with the Curb Stomp? A potential bout between the two would be tough to call, but one thing's for sure — the fans would be in for a treat.

#4 Keith "Bearcat" Lee vs. Seth Rollins

Keith Lee and Seth Rollins have squared off once in the past. The two Superstars were involved in a triple threat match in September last year with Randy Orton. The Viper prevailed in the bout when he pinned Rollins; otherwise, Lee and Rollins have never faced each other in a singles bout.

That said, with both Lee and Rollins now on RAW, they could face off in an exciting rivalry. The Bearcat returned to the red brand in dominant fashion last month when he destroyed Akira Tozawa. Moving forward, Lee will be looking for new challenges, and facing Rollins could be the perfect way to build up back up on WWE RAW.

This contest of epic proportions would certainly keep the WWE Universe invested, and it would also pit two of the red brand's most popular stars against each other.


#3 Austin Theory vs. Seth Rollins

Austin Theory has been very impressive since he moved back to RAW earlier this month. With two wins over WWE legend Jeff Hardy, the former NXT Superstar is certainly turning heads on the red brand.

Once he wraps up his feud with Hardy, Theory could target Rollins, as the two stars have history with each other. During his first stint on RAW in 2020, Theory was one of The Monday Night Messiah's on-screen disciple alongside Murphy.

Feuding with a renowned competitor like Seth Rollins would certainly kick-start Theory's run on WWE RAW, as it would allow him to prove himself against a former world champion. Because both men are currently heels, a rivalry between the two would be both unusual and compelling.

#2 Finn Balor vs. Seth Rollins

Finn Balor became the first Universal Champion by beating Seth Rollins at WWE SummerSlam in 2016. The two have also clashed in feuds over the Intercontinental Championship.

With so much history between the two Superstars, their rivalry could reignite on WWE RAW after Crown Jewel. If Balor wins the King of the Ring tournament in Saudi Arabia, Rollins could look to challenge him in a Battle for the Crown contest on the red brand. In doing so, Rollins could seek to avenge his SummerSlam 2016 loss to The Prince.

A feud between Rollins and Balor would be one for the ages, and it would certainly give the fans some incredible matches.

#1 Seth Rollins could look to win the WWE Championship by feuding with Big E

Seth Rollins has previously won the coveted WWE Championship twice, and he'll likely set his sights on the title again sooner rather than later.

Assuming that Big E retains the WWE Championship at Crown Jewel, he'll need a new challenger to face after the pay-per-view. For this reason, Rollins will likely enter the mix and challenge for the championship.

Big E and Rollins have some history together; the two Superstars squared off for the NXT Championship back in 2013, when Big E nailed hit the Big Ending to win Rollins' title. Eight years later, The Drip God could finally get his revenge by evening the score and taking Big E's title.
