10 Reasons Sting Is Winning Seth Rollins' WWE Title At Night Of Champions

Sting returned to WWE at the conclusion of the post-SummerSlam Raw, attacking Seth Rollins and holding the WWE Championship. It was an unforgettable image, even if the booking made absolutely zero sense. Triple H then went on the WWE Network and announced that it will be Sting versus Seth Rollins at Night Of Champions.

Network subscriptions will inevitably dip after SummerSlam, but his presence should ensure some stability.
