3 Reasons why Seth Rollins deserves to face off against Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam
In three weeks, The Architect Seth Rollins will be looking to regain the Universal Championship when he goes up against The Beast Incarnate Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam. This is in all likelihood is going to be a rubber match in a feud whose latest chapter was written with Rollins winning the Royal Rumble and challenging Lesnar for the title at WrestleMania 35. Rollins would shock the world by beating Lesnar in under three minutes to capture the Universal Championship.
But, it wouldn't be it too long before The Beast got himself back in the title picture by winning the Men's Money In The Bank Ladder Match. In the weeks following MITB, Lesnar would try to cash-in his contract on Rollins but the Beast Slayer would pour cold water on Lesnar's efforts.
Finally, after weeks of cash-in teases by his advocate Paul Heyman, Lesnar cashed in his MITB contract on Rollins at Extreme Rules to become the Universal Champion for a record third time.
Rollins would win a 10-man Battle Royal the following night on RAW, last eliminating Roman Reigns. The showdown between the Beast and the Architect at SummerSlam is expected to the final chapter in their storied rivalry.
Here are three reasons why Seth Rollins deserves to face off against Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam:
# 3 He has defended WWE at it's worst
Now, this might sound very cliche and cheesy, but the fact of the matter is that Seth Rollins stepped up to defend WWE at a time when the company was at its worst, both financially and PR wise. Whether he was coaxed into saying what he said or he did it on his accord is a debate for another day but we can't help but praise Rollins for standing up for his peers and the company that he that works for.
Although we won't agree with everything said, especially his comments against his former Shield brother Dean Ambrose aka Jon Moxley, which were quite unsavory in our opinion, it was quite a departure to see a WWE Superstar not talk down on the company for a change. Over the past few years, we have grown accustomed to WWE Superstars burying the company on social media.
His willing to take the backlash and not buckling down to the negative comments on social media (we haven't seen Rollins respond to fans) shows how well he handled the entire situation and that is the kind of guy who you'd like to have in your company.
