Can Seth Rollins Buy a Consonant? How About a W?
Yes, Rollins has won matches. He defeated Sting at Night of Champions and John Cena at SummerSlam. He’s also lost to Cena three times in the past six weeks (likely four after MSG), took a loss to Sting on Raw, got rolled up on SmackDown by Dean Ambrose and even got pinned by Ryback last month. For the guy who’s your WWE World Heavyweight Champion, the guy who had one of the greatest WrestleMania moments ever, that’s really stressing the power of negativity.
This all makes it crucial that Rollins gets a clean, convincing win over Kane at Hell in a Cell.

Rollins has also fell victim to “Even Stevens” or “50/50” booking like all other WWE stars. Him being booked like this as champion may be the worst part of it, though. It was seen on Raw just three days ago when Rollins took out Kane and smashed his ankle, only for the latter to return moments later as the Demon and send the former NXT Champion fleeing from the ring. Why can’t Rollins just get one segment that makes him look good?
If this is getting towards the end of Rollins’ reign as champion, WWE must clean up his booking before Hell in a Cell. If they fail to do so, he may be yet another young star who falls victim to Creative.
