Despite a valiant effort, Seth Rollins failed to retain his World Heavyweight Championship against Drew McIntyre on WrestleMania 40 Night Two. The showdown witnessed an intense battle and concluded with The Scottish Warrior becoming the new World Heavyweight Champion.
However, soon after this, McIntyre got in a skirmish with CM Punk and it resulted in Damian Priest cashing in his Money in the Bank contract to win the title.
In this article, we will discuss three reasons why The Visionary lost the World Heavyweight Title on Night Two of The Showcase of The Immortals.
#3. Seth Rollins lost due to the after-effects from his Night One match
Trending
One of the reasons why The Visionary lost his world title against McIntyre might be due to the damage he suffered from his Night One clash against The Bloodline when he teamed up with Cody Rhodes in a tag team contest.
The bout left The Visionary battered and bruised. With his history of back and knee problems, it is plausible that he barely made it to the bout, let alone being at 100 percent.
The after-effects of the tag team match may have played a significant role in the title change that happened in the opening bout of Night Two.
#2. Drew McIntyre was the perfect choice to dethrone Seth Rollins
Another reason behind the 37-year-old's loss on Night Two could be that the Scottish star seems to have been the perfect choice to claim the world title.
Since winning the championship for the first time at Night of Champions last year, Rollins has defeated multiple stars and veterans in his title reign. He even successfully defended his championship against McIntyre at last year's Crown Jewel Premium Live Event.
However, the heel turn of The Chosen One and his new menacing character seem to be another reason why the company chose to have Seth Rollins lose his title at WrestleMania 40.
Rollins lost the title to McIntyre to give the latter a WrestleMania moment in front of fans and family. Despite it being taken away from him shortly afterward, it must have meant a lot to The Scottish Warrior.
#1. WWE might have some bigger plans for Seth Rollins
Besides his feud against Drew McIntyre, Seth Rollins was also highly involved in Cody Rhodes' feud against The Bloodline on The Road to WrestleMania 40. So it's possible that the Stamford-based promotion might have bigger plans for The Visionary. The Visionary can now directly feud against Roman Reigns or have a change in character.
The world title loss will allow the company to book Seth Rollins in a different direction post-WrestleMania. The star could even return as a heel and blame Rhodes for losing the world title.
The star will also get enough time to heal his injuries and take a well-deserved vacation. It is important to note that Rollins was also the workhorse champion and it is only fair that he gets some much-deserved rest.
