This past Monday on RAW, Seth Rollins put on an amazing performance in a Seven-Man Gauntlet match. The match featured the seven men involved in this weekend’s Elimination Chamber match featuring Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, John Cena, Elias, Finn Balor, WWE Intercontinental Champion The Miz, and Braun Strowman. Rollins started off the night with Reigns and picked up the upset win via rollup pin.
The pair put on quite the back-and-forth before “The Architect’s” win and John Cena entered next. Rollins and Cena probably put on the best bout within the Gauntlet match, but again Rollins was able to pull off a clean pinfall win over “The Leader Of The Cenation.” Rollins’ booking was designed to make the former WWE World Heavyweight Champion look strong. He lasted in the match for over an hour and picked up two clean pinfall wins over WWE’s biggest stars.
Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer Newsletter reports that WWE wants to build up Rollins, thus the reason they booked him the way they did on Monday. Jason Jordan was originally planned to be Rollins’ opponent for WrestleMania 34 before he suffered a neck injury. Now Rollins’ plans for “The Show Of Shows” is up in the air. The company has, however, been planting seeds that indicate he will be a big part of WWE’s plans in 2018.
The belief is that with a shortage of top heels on RAW WWE could be gearing up to turn Rollins heel again and have him feud with Roman Reigns after WrestleMania 34 for the Universal Championship. This weekend’s Elimination Chamber match will determine who will go on to WrestleMania and challenge Brock Lesnar for the Universal throne. It’s expected Reigns will win the Chamber match and go on to conquer “The Beast.” It should be interesting to see if Rollins and Reigns begin to feud after WrestleMania comes to an end.
