10 WWE Superstars With The Most To Gain At WrestleMania 31
4. Seth Rollins
Whether Brock Lesnar successfully defends the WWE World Title, or Roman Reigns takes the title from him, the average fan thinks that it will be Seth Rollins who leaves WrestleMania as the champion. At the very least, he should have the title within 24 hours of Mania, by the time Raw goes off the air. That makes it a pretty important weekend for the man, doesn't it? It looks like he'll be facing Randy Orton at Mania. His Money In The Bank briefcase puts him in a spot where a win isn't necessary in the Orton match. He can lose, and still go on to cash in and become the new champion. It's the norm for briefcase holders in this company, actually. They win the title shot, then go on to lose a bunch of times before finally being able to successfully cash in. If he's really the best heel in wrestling today, as many have proclaimed him to be, he needs to have himself a big weekend. A victory over Orton is an iffy proposition, because Orton just made his return after being out for a few months, but so much can be had from giving him the WWE Title already. Obviously, there's a ready-made feud with Roman Reigns, who he could cash in on, but then there's the thoughts of title feuds with people like Daniel Bryan, Bray Wyatt, Dean Ambrose and many others that people will want to see.
