Seth Rollins and Drew McIntyre have collided several times over the past year, crossing paths in all manner of tag and multi-person bouts, as well as working a handful of notable singles matches on Monday Night Raw.

Now, it looks like they could be set to collide for Rollins' newly-won Universal Championship.

This theory comes from local advertising in the Philadelphia area, which has the duo facing off against each other on future live events. They also indicate that Rollins' Shield ally, Roman Reigns, will soon enter a feud with Baron Corbin.

McIntyre makes sense as a Universal Title challenger. He was tipped for the main event soon after last year's call-up, and has spent the past 12 months edging closer and closer to contention. Though he has slipped down the ladder over the past few months, he remains a powerful heel that many fans still want to see elevated, and previous bouts with Rollins have earned all kinds of critical acclaim.

Corbin vs. Reigns is a harder sell, particularly after a mixed WrestleMania 35 reception indicated that Roman's post-return popularity may already be waning. Regardless, 'The Big Dog' will work hard to get it over.
