5 Possible opponents for Seth Rollins at Money in the Bank 2019

The Beast Slayer shocked the world when he did the improbable by pinning The Beast Incarnate Brock Lesnar for Raw's biggest prize, the Universal Championship at WrestleMania 35 a few weeks ago. Seth Rollins is on top of the world right now but like they say, a champion has to fight to defend his prize and that's exactly what Rollins needs to do on the May 19th pay-per-view of WWE Money in the Bank.

This year's MITB event will be coming to us a bit earlier than usual as WWE will return to the kingdom of Saudi Arabia to host another event in June. As always, there will be two Money in the Bank ladder matches where male and female superstars will compete in their respective bouts with the briefcase on the line. Championships will also be on the line and Seth Rollins will defend his title against a superstar from the red brand.

So who should it be? Let's look at five superstars who should challenge Seth Rollins for the Universal Championship at Money in the Bank this year.

#5 Baron Corbin

Former Raw Constable Baron Corbin is one of the most despised superstars in WWE right now. He receives a negative reaction from fans where ever he goes and that makes him a very good heel. Seth Rollins is the biggest babyface on Raw and he needs to face a big heel at Money in the Bank.

It's no secret that the CEO and Chairman Vince McMahon is high on Corbin and that was evident when the latter defeated Kurt Angle in his last match at WrestleMania 35, despite backlash from fans and critics who wanted Angle to face John Cena instead. Corbin, along with Bobby Lashley and McIntyre, feuded with Seth Rollins and his Shield teammates several times and The Shield always came out on top.

So, if there's anyone who deserves to face Seth it's got to be Baron Corbin. He plays a very good heel and with his incredible size, he will be a worthy opponent for The Architect. He could even do the unfavorable by defeating Rollins to win the Big Red Belt.

#4 Andrade

"El Idolo" Andrade moved to Raw as part of the 2019 WWE Superstar Shake-Up and in his first night on the red brand, the former NXT Champion single handily defeated the Intercontinental Champion Finn Balor, sending him packing to Smackdown Live. Andrade vs Seth Rollins is a dream match and considering the fact that El Idolo has given us numerous 5-star matches before, it wouldn't be surprising if he does the same against Rollins at Money in the Bank.

Andrade is rumored to receive a big push and him facing Seth Rollins and perhaps even winning the Universal Championship is the biggest push he could get. He is a very talented performer and being on top of the red brand is all that he needs to make him the main event star that he needs to be. By defeating the man who defeated Brock Lesnar, Andrade will surely be taken to new heights.

#3 Braun Strowman

The Monster Among Men is yet to receive what he truly deserves, and that's the Universal Championship. Strowman has competed for the Big Red Belt numerous times but was unsuccessful in all his attempts. He even won last year's Money in the Bank briefcase and cashed it in at Hell in a Cell but failed to win the coveted title. He got another shot at the title at Crown Jewel and yet again, the result was negative.

Finally, he was supposed to have another shot at the title once again at Royal Rumble against Brock Lesnar but he was removed from the match after he destroyed Vince McMahon's limo on an episode of Raw. This time, however, WWE should give Strowman what he deserves and that is another shot at the Universal Championship against Seth Rollins at Money in the Bank.

WWE hasn't been properly booking Strowman lately and instead of getting a worthy opponent at WrestleMania, he was involved in an insignificant storyline win Michael Che and Colin Jost of Saturday Night's Live. Strowman will make a good opponent for Rollins at MITB.

#2 Bray Wyatt

The Eater of Worlds Bray Wyatt has not been on WWE TV for months now but lately, the company began hyping up his return by airing vignettes which features a buzzard-like puppet and a spooky doll. This could imply that Wyatt will be returning very soon and there's no better place for him to return than at Money in the Bank, where he should be revealed as Seth Rollin's new opponent.

Bray Wyatt won his first WWE Championship at Elimination Chamber in 2017 but lost the title a couple of weeks later at WrestleMania 33. His reign was very short and unmemorable. He has been on the red brand for a while now and it's time he won another world championship. This time, it should be the Universal Championship.

While creatives didn't have much planned for him to do, challenging Seth Rollins is a good choice that WWE should think about. After all, the man deserves it.

#1 Drew McIntyre

The Scottish Psychopath Drew McIntyre is one of the biggest heels on Raw and he is definitely a future Universal Champion. McIntyre has everything he needs to be The Champ. He has the looks, the size, and the mic skills. The company reportedly has huge plans for him and that can all begin when he challenges and possibly wins the Universal Championship at Money in the Bank.

Rollins and McIntyre have faced off several times before on Monday Night Raw and with Roman Reigns now on Smackdown Live, this leaves a gap wide open and McIntyre should be the one to fill that gap. The Scottish Psychopath is a main carder, and that's where he should remain. His next sight should be at the Big Red Belt, and he's a worthy challenger for The Architect.
