Why Randy Orton must challenge Seth Rollins for the WWE Universal Championship next week
Seth Rollins won the biggest match of his career at WrestleMania 35, where he slew 'the Beast Incarnate' Brock Lesnar to win the WWE Universal Championship. The Architect has become only the sixth WWE Superstar to win the coveted Universal title.
Rollins kicked off his Universal Championship reign in style by putting his belt on the line versus WWE Champion, Kofi Kingston, in a 'Winner Takes All' match. Though the match ended in a disqualification, WWE Creative gave a massive hint about how Seth's title reign will be.
The Beast Slayer will portray the character of a fighting champion, and the WWE Universe may see the premier title being defended every week on RAW.
WWE baited the audience with the 'Winner Takes All' match, but to please the audience, they can have the King Slayer put the Universal Championship on the line in Montreal next Monday.
With the Superstar Shake-up scheduled for next week, the possibilities that a superstar from SmackDown Live answers the open challenge are very high.
If we have a look at the list of SmackDown superstars, AJ Styles or Daniel Bryan would be dream opponents for Rollins. But AJ Styles is currently nursing an injury, while Daniel Bryan's character may suffer a lot if he fails to win the match against Seth Rollins.
WWE cannot afford to have Seth lose his title just a week after winning it, and so they should put him in a match with a superstar whose character may not be affected after taking a pin.
Randy Orton seems to be the perfect fit for this role as the Viper has been putting superstars over lately, even at WrestleMania 35 he ate the pin at the hands of AJ Styles. Thus, if Seth Rollins successfully defeats him on RAW next week, WWE can achieve multiple goals with one move.
First, they can establish Rollins as the company's top guy after he pins the 13-time WWE Champion.
Secondly, Randy Orton has been out of the title picture for long, so this would be a fresh match-up for the fans. Also, this would be a great way to announce that Randy Orton has joined RAW as a part of the shake-up.
The fans will roar once his theme song hits, and thus it will be a win-win situation for all if Orton challenges for the Universal Championship next week.
