10 WWE WrestleMania 31 Matches Evaluated

5. Randy Orton Vs Seth Rollins - Featuring Jon Stewart

This match has been built up months in advance. It all started back in November, when Randy Orton turned face against the hated Seth Rollins. The crowd were hot for it and that anticipation has simmered for months. However, it is all now being undone, as WWE have introduced a feud between Rollins and The Daily Show host Jon Stewart. It is still expected that Orton and Rollins will square off at Mania, but it will be less of a bitter rivalry and more of a celebrity spot. Stewart is going to be involved in some way. He probably won't be used in a wrestling capacity, but you can almost guarantee that Stewart will land a slap on Rollins or something like that. That dilutes the match to an extent, as a straight up Orton vs Rollins bout could have been fantastic. Still, you can't blame WWE. They'll get a ton of mainstream publicity for using Jon Stewart and it will help elevate more casual interest in Orton and Rollins. It makes the match bigger in some ways. Just don't bank on it being the critical classic it potentially could have been.
