Seth Rollins Poised To Break Out In 2015
Seth Rollins’ former Shield brother, Roman Reigns, may have won the slammy for WWE Superstar of the Year award in 2014 but that does not mean that 2015 will be year of Reigns. Instead, Rollins is poised to be the break out star of 2015.
Seth Rollins is often the overlooked entity when referring to the three members of the now defunct The Shield.
Dean Ambrose attached himself to WWE fans over the course of the past three or four months while playing up to his lunatic billing.
Roman Reigns has also been a popular name among the WWE Universe given the fact that WWE is pushing Reigns as the next top babyface. Reigns’ push is expected to start at the Royal Rumble where it is expected that the reigning WWE Superstar of the Year will win the Royal Rumble match and go on to defeat Brock Lesnar at Wrestlemania 31 for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.

But, those plans should not be penciled into stone just yet.
The reason why those plans are not set into stone is because of Rollins and the Money in the Bank briefcase that he carries.
Because of that briefcase, Rollins is poised to breakout 2015.
One could argue that Rollins was the true superstar of the year in 2014, but given WWE, it really is no surprise that Reigns–who now dons action hero attire–won the award.
Reigns may win the Royal Rumble match but at the end of the night on January 25, Rollins will be the superstar that everyone is talking about.
On January 25, at the Royal Rumble pay-per view, the championship will be defended by Brock Lesnar against John Cena. The match between Cena and Lesnar will likely be lengthy with both Cena and Lesnar taking bumps. The victor of the match is not too relevant considering what will likely happen after the match. Whether Cena or Lesnar, there is no question that Rollins will successfully cash in the Money in the Bank briefcase at the Royal Rumble.

The interesting scenario would be if Rollins cashes in the briefcase on Lesnar. Rollins has been working in sync with Lesnar and advocate Paul Heyman over the course of the past couple of weeks and that could only lead to Rollins turning on Lesnar at the Royal Rumble. As Rollins proved last Monday night during The Cutting Edge Peep Show, he is more than capable of using others for his own personal gain. When it comes to the association between Rollins and Lesnar, the former Shield member may only be keeping his friends close but his enemies closer.
Rollins cashing in on Cena could be plausible as well. Cena and Rollins have had a subtle back and forth over the course of recent weeks. The back and forth may be a teaser that Rollins will cash in the Money in the Bank briefcase on Cena after he successfully defeats Lesnar.
In any event, Rollins will be the new WWE World Heavyweight Champion by the time that the Royal Rumble is over.
Igniting the Year of Rollins.
