After a good Crown Jewel, WWE has managed to follow it up with two great episodes of SmackDown and RAW. NXT invaded both RAW and SmackDown successfully, much to the delight of Triple H, and Triple H also managed to creep into the mind of Seth Rollins on RAW this week.
After losing the WWE Universal Championship to The Fiend at Crown Jewel, The Beastslayer came out on RAW to address his future, and for a moment, it looked like he was going to turn heel. But, Rollins' former mentor Triple H interrupted him and offered him a chance to start again by joining NXT.
The Architect would then demand an NXT Championship match. But the Undisputed Era intervened in the match between Rollins and Adam Cole, meaning that The Architect's future is again hanging in the air as we do not know if Rollins still wishes to join NXT or remain on RAW.
Therefore, in this piece, we state the three reasons why moving Seth Rollins to NXT is best for business:
#3 Gives Triple H some genuine firepower to work with
Whether we like it or not, this business runs on the number of eyeballs you are grabbing. Hence, if Rollins moved to NXT, he will bring his fanbase with him, which means more viewers for NXT, which will help them in the Wednesday night war against All Elite Wrestling.
The Black and Gold Brand needs some influx of readymade talent, who can work together with the young wrestlers to give us a great product.
Right now, Triple H has a potent young arsenal at his disposal and he wouldn't mind someone of the talent of Rollins heading over to NXT. This will create a nice balance in the roster of The Black and Gold Brand.
#2 Seth Rollins is tailor-made for the Black and Gold Brand
Superstars like Seth Rollins, who can produce classic matches with almost any wrestler in the world, are just the kind of men NXT is known to have.
In the Black and Gold Brand, the term jobber doesn't exist as almost every match is a barnburner. Someone of the quality of The Architect is going to love it there.
Another thing is that NXT has always believed in long term storylines, which continue over a long period, which are just the kind Rollins excels in. Take a look at his feud with Brock Lesnar, which concluded over a long period at WrestleMania 35; Rollins was at his best at that time.
Another positive thing is that The Beastslayer has a good understanding with Triple H. Triple H will know what brings out the best in Rollins. All these arguments make for the notion that Rollins is indeed tailor-made for a brand like NXT.
#1 Seth Rollins' character content needs desperate change
When we go down memory lane and visit what happened with Roman Reigns that made the WWE Universe constantly boo him way back in 2016 or 2017, it was because Reigns' character wasn't evolving or changing and it was always the same.
Nobody would really want that to happen to any other Superstar. Rollins is in a similar situation that Reigns was years ago as the WWE Universe just doesn't connect with The Architect's character. That is partly the reason why they wanted him to lose to The Fiend at Hell in a Cell, which finally happened at Crown Jewel.
In order to escape another Roman Reigns like situation, WWE has to take steps to make changes to Rollins on WWE television. That is the biggest reason why moving to NXT is the best for him. It will not only give the WWE Universe a chance to see a different Seth Rollins, it would also give The Beastslayer a chance to start from scratch.
