#4. Seth Rollins vs Big E and the fallout from RAW

Seth Rollins came out on RAW to address the situation that happened on SmackDown. As you know by now, Adam Pearce handpicked Seth Rollins from the red brand to challenge SmackDown's Roman Reigns in a Universal title match that has now been made official.

It's an interesting match-up, but one that highlights how much Roman Reigns has run through the SmackDown roster. Rollins addressed the match and made quite a few references to their Shield days, but it was Big E who came out to confront him.

Big E declared his entry to the Royal Rumble match, and he may have instantly become one of the favorites to win the Men's Rumble bout this year. He lost to Rollins in a good match, but the result was expected.

This was because WWE had to build-up Seth Rollins' legitimacy to face Roman Reigns -- a man he has pinned twice to become WWE Champion (WrestleMania 31 in 2015 and Money in the Bank 2016).

Big E may have lost, but hope hasn't been extinguished . Fans of the former WWE Champion can expect him to play a crucial role in the Men's Royal Rumble match. Don't be surprised if he emerges as the winner and books his spot in the main event of WrestleMania.

The only problem is what the Royal Rumble winner could do if WWE goes ahead with a champion vs champion match at WrestleMania between Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar.
