Right now, Seth Rollins is just waiting around for his WrestleMania program to begin. It really looks like Seth's match at 'Mania 33 will come against a man who once took him under his wing in The Authority. From a storyline perspective, that makes sense.

Feeling abandoned by 'The Game' after Triple H helped Kevin Owens become WWE Universal Champion, Rollins has realistic motivation for vengeance. In 2016, Triple H was hardly a full-time character on WWE programming, something that would need to change during WrestleMania season in order to give this rivalry the focus it deserves.

Firing another shot, Seth could come out on Raw and challenge Triple H to enter the upcoming Royal Rumble. Looking like one of the most star-studded Rumble matches in recent memory, the 2017 affair would be even bigger with Triple H involved.

That would be Seth's argument, trying to use Hunter's ego against him in order to get his rival exactly where he wants him.

Should WWE choose, Stephanie McMahon may even confront Rollins during this segment.
