10 WWE Questions You Most Want Answered (May 4)
5. Seth Rollins As A Cheap WWE Champion?
From @AbirAChowdhury: Has Seth Rollins lost a bit of his mojo after becoming the WWE Champion? Or is it the bookings coupled with the absence of the Curb Stomp?
He's booked as a heel champion that got the title because he had help from his friends. Remember, Kane helped him win Money in the Bank. His WWE Title win was a cheap win at WrestleMania. The way he beat Randy Orton at Extreme Rules was not clean even in a cage match.
Now that he's champion, the way he's going to be booked is the same. A lot of fans may groan when he wins cheap, but that's WWE booking. Most heel champions find a way to retain as a way to agitate the fans. It's supposed to be like that to make you pay your money to see that champion lose the gold.
Rollins got pinned recently in tag matches on both Raw and Smackdown. Then this week on Smackdown he beat Ambrose. It wasn't totally clean, but it was necessary and it's good for him.
Heel champions are going to win cheap. That's just typical wrestling booking. It doesn't bother me because we're so used to it.
