9 Ups And 7 Downs From WWE SummerSlam 2015

6. The Champ Is Here

Wow. OK, did anyone see that one coming? Seriously, if anyone predicted that Jon Stewart would interfere on Seth Rollins€™ behalf and the Architect would leave SummerSlam with both the WWE World Heavyweight and United States Championships in hand, then go buy a lottery ticket. In the Burning Questions column, the question was posed about how WWE would avoid having a dual champ. Out of several scenarios, only one suggested that Rollins win both titles, but it also theorized that he would need help and then would bestow the U.S. Championship to that person. It€™s highly unlikely that Stewart will be handed U.S. gold on Raw. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-kzIjp6hDWA So why? Why did Stewart help Rollins? Why did WWE go this route? And what will Rollins do as a dual singles champ? It€™s tough to categorize this as bad or good because it€™s just so mind-boggling. But since it€™s not a 16th world title reign for Cena and the crowd ate it up with a spoon, then it gets an €œup€ vote here for now.
