8. Seth Rollins Isn't Ready For Randy Orton
From a storyline perspective, Seth Rollins is absolutely ready to be the World Heavyweight Champion. However, from a sheer wrestling perspective, he may get out-worked and out-classed by his Wrestlemana opponent, Randy Orton. This one is funny because what Orton is great at is something that actually is a hindrance to Rollins. What made the Rollins/Lesnar/Cena three-way at Royal Rumble great was that Rollins was able to be the athletic cherry on top of a straight-up wrestling pie delivered by Cena and Lesnar. The number of knock down/drag out brawls and catch-as-catch-can wrestling matches (Orton's specialties) that Rollins has had in his career are few, so stepping up and turning in an instant classic here is a lot to ask. It's entirely possible Rollins can surprise, but don't be surprised if he doesn't. This is actually a big-time clash of styles waiting to happen.
