10 Reasons Why Sting vs. Seth Rollins Is Bad For Business

Wouldn't you rather see Rollins vs. Ambrose again instead?

The main event of September 20, 2015 Night of Champions PPV features legendary WCW performer Sting versus Seth Rollins for the WWE Championship. It's the first time we've seen Sting since his WrestleMania appearance where he defeated Triple H with the aid of yes, the New World Order. However, given that Seth Rollins is in the midst of elevating his performance standard to another level, the idea of wrestling a 56-year old man really doesn't need to be in the cards. Sting versus Seth Rollins is bad for business for roughly ten reasons that will be outlined in this article. Rollins just defeated John Cena in a classic match that involved a screwjob finish with non-wrestler John Stewart. Following that up with a nearly 60-year old wrestler really doesn't inspire great confidence in a champion as much as it points to a possible concern regarding WWE attempting to deliver boosted ratings and interest in their product. Many have noted that Seth Rollins' championship run has delivered from a promo standpoint, but has lagged in delivering a level of intrigue that allows the WWE Universe to want to maintain viewership of the product. How 2015-era Sting will inspire this viewership seems to be a far stretch? Here's ten reasons why what we're about to see could very well be one of 2015's worst business decisions for WWE.
