WWE RAW: Despite Mania loss, Seth Rollins is a perfect first challenger for McIntyre

I love Seth Rollins, I really do. Whether babyface or heel, he continues to entertain the masses on WWE RAW (though I personally think a heel Seth Rollins is best for business).

Having said that, am I the only fan within the WWE Universe that is scratching their head around the concept that Seth Rollins losing at WrestleMania 36 somehow equals out to him becoming number one contender to face Drew McIntyre for the WWE Championship? Last night’s WWE RAW had arrow’s pointing everywhere that the Monday Night Messiah would be the next in line via for that WWE title.

It goes without saying that a loss on any level shouldn’t warrant a title match, especially a loss on the Grandest Stage of Them All, which also equaled out to a major WM 36 moment for Kevin Owens. It just doesn’t make sense.

It continues to reflect the long-standing tradition where the WWE forces storylines that go against common sense, in order to build up a fast-approaching pay-per-view main event on near horizon.

What does make sense, however, is that amongst a COVID-19 pandemic, where WWE shows that take place in front of a roaring live audience are a thing of the past and the rosters on both brands seem thinning in the sense that not all talent is spotlighted on every episode.

Perhaps WWE Creative doesn’t have a huge superstar pool to pick at. What also makes sense is a newly crowned babyface champion looking for a viable heel contender to continue his uprising momentum within the WWE Universe.

Drew McIntyre needs to face a bonafide bad guy in his next program to not only solidify his championship WM win and current reign, but also to help continue his push as a top babyface within the company.

There’s no greater heel out there (well, other than the outgoing Brock Lesnar who is probably retreated back home for another long-overdue hiatus) to help accomplish this goal, than Mr. Rollins.

He’s great at playing a despicable bad guy, even better within his current narcissistic role, and if the idea is to continue with Drew’s championship buildup, then sending Rollins in for McIntyre’s first post-Mania program makes sense, on those accounts.

The two will deliver some incredible promos, assuming their match takes place at Money in the Bank (which it probably will), the bout itself very well could be a memorable one for 2020.

Still, while the WWE does have challenges right now, then is choosing Rollins as the guy to go up against Drew the right idea here?

In the end, it may be their only plausible choice, despite the confusion.
