Evaluating WWE World Heavyweight Championship Contenders for Hell in a Cell

Seth Rollins (If John Cena wins)

Rollins has technically been a contender for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship since he won the Money in the Bank briefcase at the MITB PPV. If Cena wins this Sunday, the former architect of The Shield may very well cash in his contract and try to pin the leader of the Cenation for the belt.

Rollins won’t try to cash in against Lesnar. It just wouldn’t be believable to see happen unless Cena somehow turned heel and beat the snot out of the Beast Incarnate after the match with weapons from under the ring. Seeing him do it against Cena would make more sense since he’ll probably take another beating from Lesnar.

This won’t happen, though, if Dean Ambrose returns at Night of Champions to rekindle his feud with his former stablemate from the summer. He will be focused on that piece of business over cashing in on Cena if he wins.

If Rollins walks out of NoC with the belt, a title reign of his would be more of a test run to see how he performs. His in-ring work is already great and he’s solid on the microphone, so seeing how he would do with the top spotlight on him would be interesting to see unfold for the fall.
