There has to come a point where WWE management simply looks at the situation and realizes that Rollins was WWE's best performer last year. They gave him a big push as a top heel. He had a lot of pressure, but he lived up to every expectation that they had of him. His promos improved a lot while his in-ring performance was great like usual. If there's one thing WWE should have learned from the CM Punk ordeal in the past year it's that they should reward the full time performers that are on the road all the time. Lesnar's a part timer that may be gone in a few months. Why reward him with a main event WWE Title match at WrestleMania? Rollins is the one that deserves it. The entire storyline with The Authority in charge has been built around Rollins getting elevated from midcard wrestler that turned on his friends to main event level heel that has developed into a tremendous all around talent. It sends the right message to the talent as well as the fans that anybody can get to the top if they really work hard to get there and capitalize on their opportunities. If Rollins leaves the Royal Rumble as WWE Champion - and that's a big if - then it's because he deserves it more than anybody else right now. That's what should matter more than anything. Rollins isn't just the future of WWE like he says. He's also the present. It's time to reward him for a job well done.
