10 Easy Steps To Make Seth Rollins The Top Star In WWE
2. Have Him Break CM Punk's Record
If Rollins can hold onto the WWE Championship through WrestleMania, he'll reach day 372 of his title reign - an impressive number, and one that will put him a mere two months from eclipsing CM Punk as the longest-reigning WWE Champion of the modern era. With Punk on the outs with the company, one would think that letting Rollins break the record would be a no-brainer.
More importantly than any vendetta is what the accomplishment can do for Rollins. Punk got a lot of heat by bragging about his title reign and counting the days he had been champion, and Rollins could take a similar tack to make himself the centerpiece of the company. Rollins could even take a shot at the revered Punk, mentioning that he set the record while main eventing shows, unlike his predecessor.
Having Rollins break Punk's record would inevitably draw comparisons between the two, but that might not be a bad thing. Both are ultra-talented in-ring performers who can deliver on the microphone, and both represent a changing of the guard in WWE, the acceptance of a look and style that would have once been seen as "not main event." Still, Rollins won't be the new Punk by breaking the record - but he will be the best in the world.
