13 Problems Nobody Wants To Admit About WrestleMania 31

7. Seth Rollins Should've Been Champ A LONG Time Ago

A ballsy pro wrestling booker would've put the WWE Championship on Seth Rollins at the Royal Rumble. Of course, he would've won the title outright, so people would be okay with forgetting the idea of Rollins still has his briefcase (that he hadn't lost) as a security plan. It would've been epic had say, the Jon Stewart thing led to Stewart getting Randy Orton to return fight for him in a Raw main event, where Rollins cockily put the title on the line against Stewart (except it's not Jon Stewart that he's wrestling). The next week on Raw, Orton comes out to the ring as the champ, and out comes Rollins with the briefcase, and after a hard-fought match, he retains his belt. Rollins has more heat on him than before, Brock's gone, Reigns wrestles Rollins in the main event, and heck, maybe have Randy as the "outside of the ring enforcer" to drop people with RKOs. Seth Rollins not being the WWE Champion heading into Wrestlemania is DEFINITELY a problem.
