WWE RAW: 5 Things we learned from this week’s episode (January 21, 2019)

#4 WWE is trying to show Seth Rollins as the underdog

WWE SummerSlam 2015

Seth Rollins? The Underdog? Doesn’t sound quite right, does it?

Currently, Seth Rollins seems like the only ordinary sized man who can get into a match with men like Braun Strowman, Drew McIntyre, and Brock Lesnar, and still come out on top without looking like an underdog.

However, it still seems as though WWE is trying to make him an underdog for the Royal Rumble match which makes little sense as he is one of the favourites to win the match.

Since losing the Intercontinental Championship, he has been put into matches where he walks in as the underdog even though he has so many victories behind him.

Rollins is someone who always pops up as the first few names when one thinks of the best wrestler and the man with the best chances in a match. Therefore, it seems a bit odd that WWE is trying hard to push him down our throats as the underdog, and they did so convincingly this week during his segment and match against Drew McIntyre.

If WWE plans to make Rollins and McIntyre the last two remaining men in Royal Rumble match, then this formula seems great, but if it is just for us to see Rollins eliminate The Scottish Psychopath mid-match, or go on to win the Royal Rumble, then it won’t really be too surprising.
