There would be no better time for the former "architect of The Shield" and big-time bump machine Rollins to still be a flunky of The Authority (yet still holding the Money In The Bank briefcase) than to take an epic bat beating from Sting in the episode of Smackdown leading into Wrestlemania. Rollins declaring that he'd "cut Sting down to size" for Triple H and calling him out for a street fight on Smackdown would be tremendous fun. Sting comes down with his baseball bat while wearing street clothes and as soon as the bell rings, just beats the bejezus out of Rollins who bumps, feeds and then runs scared. Given that Sting is a legend who would be likely having only one competitive match with Triple H (and one that would likely feature relaxed rules), top-tier performer Rollins loses little when assaulted with the same bat that would ideally do similar damage to Triple H.
