9 Reasons Seth Rollins' Injury Is Best For WWE Business
6. Potential For A First-Time Champ
Seth Rollins is out for the next six to nine months. Randy Orton also is on the shelf. John Cena is on a much-deserved vacation or hiatus. Kane is 48 years old. Undertaker is 50. Brock Lesnar already has used up his dates for the year and would probably cost a fortune to bring back on the fly. All of this points to the possibility that we could see WWE crown a first-time champ at Survivor Series. Maybe Roman Reigns will still realize his dream and finally capture the gold. Or maybe Kevin Owens becomes a double champ. Could this be an opportunity for WWE to ride the Uppercut Express and give Cesaro a surprise run? There are so few experienced options on the active roster right now that it wouldnt be a bad bet to put some money on someone winning their first WWE World Heavyweight Championship at Survivor Series.
