5 Seth Rollins' matches we will never get to see, but wished we could've

Seth Rollins is a prime example of a talent who worked his way through the WWE ranks. Starting out on the independent scene as Tyler Black, he held world gold even before heading into WWE.

Rollins became NXT's first champion, beating Jinder Mahal in the final of a Gold Rush Tournament.

Seth Rollins proved his worth as a top talent in NXT before making his debut on the main roster alongside Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose (Jon Moxley) to form the SHIELD.

He has gone from Architect of the SHIELD, to the chosen one of the Authority, to Kingslayer out for retribution against Triple H, and Beastslayer against Brock Lesnar.

Seth Rollins is one of the most versatile WWE Superstars. He has worked a wide arsenal of in-ring styles and characters. Seth Rollins has performed against legends and monsters of the business like Edge recently, as well as Brock Lesnar, John Cena, Randy Orton, Triple H and Batista.

Even after achieving so much, there are still so many names that Seth Rollins can and will probably make magic with.

But there is a sad truth in the fact that there is a long line of wrestling legends that Seth Rollins never had the chance to face.

The WWE Hall of Fame reads like a list of what could have been dream matches for Seth Rollins. Who from WWE's past would produce the dreamiest of dream matches with The Kingslayer?

#5 Seth Rollins vs Ric Flair

Wrestling is a story of athleticism and personality. The very best of wrestling exhudes charisma and produces the goods in-ring, leaving fans' appetites satiated with great storytelling and plot development.

Ric Flair was one such talent who met the standard for a main eventer. He had the "it factor," a unique combination of character and ability.

Much like Seth Rollins thus far, Ric Flair was known for his ability to produce powerful tales, amazing promos, and character development.

While Flair can now look back on a career of gold, accolades, honors and records, Seth Rollins is only half way through building his own legacy within the business.

It would have been amazing if the stars aligned and we got the chance to see Seth Rollins vs Ric Flair, a feud which would completely drip with personality and work rate.

#4 Seth Rollins vs Bret Hart

While not an outgoing personality like Seth Rollins, Bret Hart built his legacy on a foundation of technical brilliance and narrative pacing in the ring. He rose to acclaim during a time when exuberant goliaths like Hulk Hogan and Randy Savage dominated the main event scene.

Bret Hart was a talent who could wrestle the entire roster on a single night and still be able to craft a unique story with everyone he stood against.

Seth Rollins appears to have the Bret Hart drive; The Architect has the passion for the business and works tirelessly in every single angle he's involved in.

Seth Rollins and The Hitman share a brilliant ability to spin narrative webs within the confines of the feuds they participate in. No matter which opponents they are in the ring with, they always make use of their move sets to make sure no two collisions feel the same.

The closest similarity between Seth Rollins and Bret Hart is their fundamental understanding of what wrestling should be, whether it be in the ring or on the mic. Had these two been in the same generation, they would have produced a golden feud.

#3 Seth Rollins vs Randy Savage

Randy Savage was unique for his time. He had infinite charisma which would cast him into the spotlight even in a Hogan-dominated era.

In contrast to the powerhouses like Hogan and Warrior, who had limited in-ring ability and relied on their titanic personas to draw the crowd in, Randy Savage possessed technical in-ring abilities on top of his own enchanting charisma.

Seth Rollins may not be of the same personality as Savage, but he commands attention whenever he is on camera. He can be intense, compelling and believable, or he can be humourous, or intelligent and cunning.

Whether as a hero or villain, Rollins could have been the perfect foil for the Macho Man, and it is a shame the WWE never got the chance to see them in the ring together.

#2 Seth Rollins vs The Undertaker

Seth Rollins is the only member of the SHIELD to not have a singles match against The Undertaker.

The Deadman has had such a tenured and storied role in WWE for decades. The Undertaker has battled against legends like Ric Flair, Triple H, Bret Hart, Hulk Hogan, Shawn Michaels, while also helping build up younger stars Randy Orton and Roman Reigns.

His devotion to his character and the aura around it, and the expectations that come with an Undertaker match, have helped cement the former WWE Champion as a surefire future Hall of Famer.

Seth Rollins can consider himself very unlucky he never got the chance to work with The Undertaker 1-on-1. Rollins is a talent with such a remarkable resemblance to the likes of Shawn Michaels.

And considering what Shawn Michaels and The Undertaker produced in all of their clashes, it has to be said that a star like Seth Rollins would undoubtedly produce the stuff of dreams if he had the chance to face The Undertaker.

In an alternate timeline, fans may have gotten the chance to see Seth Rollins attempt to conquer the famous Wrestlemania streak.

#1 Seth Rollins vs Shawn Michaels

Seth Rollins is a talent with immense charisma and work rate. He crafts each match and into its own story for the benefit of the viewer and produces the nonstop magic when he steps foot into the squared circle.

Seth Rollins has drawn uncanny comparisons to Edge in their feud, with the latter even going so far as to call the former "Edge-lite." But if there is one star that draws the most comparisons to Seth Rollins from past WWE, it is Mr. Wrestlemania.

Shawn Michaels made a career out of instant classics, cinematic storylines and explosive talking points. He retired after a career decorated with championships, accolades and records. Shawn Michaels has his name attached to a variety of iconic rivalries with the likes of Steve Austin, Bret Hart and The Undertaker.

Shawn Michaels was an era-defining superstar, much like Seth Rollins. They are two talents that unfortunately never had the opportunity to stand opposite one another in the ring.

The glory these two could've produced will forever elude the WWE Universe. "What could have been," is the only thing a fan can say when imagining The Kingslayer vs The Showstopper.
