Someday, Roman Reigns will lose the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. Someday, Seth Rollins will be champion again. Both of those things will eventually happen, but they won't happen Sunday.

As mentioned earlier, Seth Rollins's injury last November has given this match some unique background - both men have a claim to being the true WWE Champion, and after their face-off, there'll be an undisputed "guy."

The stakes are simply too high for Reigns to lose. Even though he's been WWE's top project since late 2014, the company's mishandling of his talent has ensured that he spent most of last year looking like a failure. He choked at WrestleMania 31 and didn't become champion for several more months - WWE's not going to risk his legitimacy now.

Plus, the fact that Roman Reigns went through so much to get the title and his WrestleMania win (including two truncated runs with the belt) basically ensures he'll be having a long reign. Like it or not, SummerSlam is the absolute earliest he'll lose the title, and we're not there yet.
