Seth Rollins can undergo significant character change following Crown Jewel, says WWE legend
Seth Rollins vs. Bronson Reed has been made official for WWE Crown Jewel in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. This marks The Visionary's first premium live event in-ring performance since Money in the Bank in July. Wrestling legend Tommy Dreamer feels the showdown can be "career-changing" for either man.
Upon returning a few weeks ago, Rollins cut a promo where he talked about sending CM Punk packing from WWE. The Best in the World had just announced he was taking time off as he was still feeling the effects of having stepped inside the unforgiving Hell in a Cell at Bad Blood. It was only after this that the former World Heavyweight Champion addressed his issues with Big Bronson Reed.
Speaking on Busted Open After Dark, Tommy Dreamer noted how Bronson Reed's career will be massively elevated at Crown Jewel should he get a defining victory over Seth Rollins. However, he added that if Rollins loses, then perhaps The Architect can evolve into another version of his persona, who needs to find his way back to the top.
"This is a big, big matchup for both guys. It is career-changing for Bronson Reed, but it could be career-changing for Seth Rollins. If he does lose, does that mean he's not going to be the top guy anymore?" wondered Dreamer.

It seems only a matter of time before Triple H & Co. pulls the trigger on CM Punk vs. Seth Rollins. WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray feels the company is letting fans decide whether the former World Heavyweight Champion is a babyface or heel in this story.
Why hasn't Seth Rollins addressed the union of Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns?
On NotSam Wrestling, WWE analyst Sam Roberts touched upon the return of Seth Rollins on the September 30 episode of RAW.
Roberts articulated The Architect's current situation as a "guy living on an island," considering the fact that he has not addressed the aftermath of WrestleMania XL. Regarding The American Nightmare, who has not done anything in return for the assistance Rollins gave him on The Grandest Stage of Them All, Roberts feels their feud is inevitable.
"He hasn't really talked about WrestleMania at all. [...] How he feels about being the ultimate 'Shield.' How he feels about the fact that he handed Cody Rhodes that opportunity; the ability to beat Roman Reigns. He hasn't been offered a shot at the title. So I think there is a lot on the bone with Seth Rollins," he said.
At The Show of Shows in April, The Architect took a bullet for Cody Rhodes in the main event of Night Two. This gave space for Cody Rhodes to regroup and take down Roman Reigns, ergo winning the Undisputed WWE Championship for the first time in his career.
