1. Rollins Will Do

Man, Seth Rollins lands on his feet time and time again, doesn’t he?

After losing his big match at WrestleMania 36, Rollins positioned himself as Drew McIntyre’s next challenger for the WWE Championship Monday night when he attacked the champ at the end of Raw. Rollins stomped McIntyre twice to close the show after delivering semi-cryptic promos backstage throughout the night.

With his stable of followers, Rollins – who also has slayed Brock Lesnar – is immediately a credible challenger for McIntyre, and he’s so contemptable right now that he gives Drew someone to play off rather than a generic villain like a freshly turned Big Show would have been.

Scott is a former journalist and longtime wrestling fan who was smart enough to abandon WCW during the Monday Night Wars the same time as the Radicalz. He fortunately became a fan in time for WrestleMania III and came back as a fan after a long high school hiatus before WM XIV. Monday nights in the Carlson household are reserved for viewing Raw -- for better or worse.
