Seth Rollins made his decision on Raw this week by picking which world champion he will face at WrestleMania 35. The person he chose was none other than The Beast Brock Lesnar for the Universal Championship. But, I think he should have picked Daniel Bryan for the WWE Championship instead.
Rollins has been on exclusive to the Raw brand since he was drafted to the red brand in 2016. He has held every championship title on the RAW brand as well from the Raw Tag Team Titles to the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.
He has also face pretty much everyone on the RAW roster as well. In the very likely scenario that Rollins defeats Lesnar at WrestleMania 35 to become the Universal Champion who is he going to feud with? We have seen him face guys like Drew McIntyre, Bobby Lashley, Baron Corbin, and Dean Ambrose to name a few.
He could potentially face Kevin Owens or Sami Zayn, but they are likely to return as babyfaces and have unfinished business with Bobby Lashley. The last option is for him to face an NXT call up like Lars Sullivan or EC3, but I don't think they would get a World title push that quickly.
So, Rollins would just be facing the same guys he has been and we will have the same matches, just with the Big Red Belt on the line.
If Rollins would have chosen to face Daniel Bryan for the WWE Championship, not only would we have gotten a great match and a great feud between the two for WrestleMania, but we also get fresh feuds and dream matches.
Just imagine the endless dream matches we could get: Rollin vs. AJ Styles, Rollins vs. Rey Mysterio, Rollins vs. Andrade, Rollins vs. Mustafa Ali, and that's just to name a few of the matches we could have seen if Rollins went over to Smackdown.
Maybe an unexpected and surprising name will step up and face Rollins after WrestleMania if he does indeed win the Universal Championship, but if that doesn't happen and we see the same matches we have been seeing for the past few years then Rollins' reign could be lackluster compared to what could have been if he went over to Smackdown instead.
