Rollins's title reign will see him avoid losing the belt back to Roman Reigns (including in a long-awaited Shield triple-threat match at Survivor Series), but after that feud gets put to bed, John Cena will come calling. Cena and Rollins have tangled many times in the past, but it's always been a thrill - and this time, they'll be meeting in a TLC match. The bout will be as good as expected, with Dean Ambrose running interference on the champ's behalf. Finally, Cena will take "The Lunatic Fringe" out of play with an AA from the ring through a balanced ladder on the outside. He'll climb a ladder in the ring and get cut off by Seth Rollins, but Big Match John will power through, hoist Rollins up, and give him an AA from the top of the ladder through a table. After that, the WWE champion will be easy prey, allowing Cena to become a 16-time titleholder. Rollins will invoke his rematch clause at the Royal Rumble and come up short. That night, Roman Reigns will once again win the Rumble match, setting up a huge bout between WWE's top babyfaces at WrestleMania.
