5. Rollins Has Silenced The Demon
In the face of several other high-profile feuds, Seth Rollins has felt rather sidelined in recent weeks, despite his status as WWE World Heavyweight Champion. The amusing split personality antics of Kane have taken centre stage at the champion's expense and Rollins has repeatedly lost matches to the Demon or because of the masked star's interference during his bouts. At Hell in a cell, though, Rollins picked up a clean win over Kane with the Pedigree in order to retain his title. Rollins is one of the best in-ring performers on the roster and deserves far better than transitional rivalries with the likes of Kane, who is a star well past his prime in the ring. With Kane now stripped of his post as Director of Operations, Rollins would seem to have put an end to the antics of the Demon. Now, he is open to movie into a more interesting feud with someone who is more of a match for the champion between the ropes. I mentioned earlier in this article that the next WWE Champion should be a red hot babyface to dethrone Rollins from his position as the crown prince of the Authority. Now that the Demon has been silenced, Rollins can move into a feud with someone who actually could leave with the belt. There's no clear number one contender for now, but that could change sooner rather than later.
