10 New Directions For WWE After Royal Rumble 2022
6. Seth Rollins Wins The WWE Title
No, your eyes are not deceiving you.
Seth Rollins was protected vs. Roman Reigns for a reason. He only lost via DQ, and that's because WWE either see more in the future for that mini-Shield reunion party, or they fancy making Seth the erm...man on Monday nights heading into April.
You're likely wondering where Bobby Lashley factors into all of this. Sadly, this guy has his suspicions that Lashley's big 'Road To WrestleMania' moment was that one sought-after win over Brock Lesnar. The guess here is that Bob drops the WWE Title to Rollins inside the Elimination Chamber and then moves out of the title scene for another while.
There's a simple reason for that which will be explained in the next entry. For now, keep your eyes firmly trained on Rollins. WWE took care of him at the Rumble (against SmackDown's top star, no less), and that cannot have been accidental.
