#3 Feuding with Roman Reigns will push Seth Rollins back into the world title picture

Seth Rollins deserves to fight for the Universal Championship

Roman Reigns is enjoying a dominant reign as the Universal Champion, and he is expected to keep the title for a while. Thus, it is unlikely that Seth Rollins will beat The Tribal Chief for the world title. However, the feud will help push him back into the Championship picture. He is at his best when he is chasing the gold.

Since his heel turn, Seth Rollins has been involved in extremely lengthy feuds with Rey Mysterio and Cesaro. Both those storylines got monotonous towards their respective ends.

He deserves to be a part of better bookings on WWE SmackDown, and he can easily pose a serious threat to any champion. Rollins even expressed his disappointment in WWE for bringing back Edge as Roman Reigns’ next challenger.

Rollins believes he should have had that opportunity as Edge already had his match at WrestleMania. His intense promo on Talking Smack planted the seeds of a potential feud with Roman Reigns.

It fetched a strong response online as the WWE Universe expressed their desire to see this rivalry unfold on WWE SmackDown. The creative team should waste no time capitalizing on this interest, especially now that the live crowd is set to return for WWE shows.
