At last month's SummerSlam, Seth Rollins did something no wrestler has ever done before him: he became the first man to hold the WWE World Heavyweight Championship and the US Championship at the exact same time. Granted, the US Championship has never had anywhere near its current level of prestige while under the WWE banner, but Seth is still the first. 

Looking forward to the next special event, Night of Champions, Rollins has the unenviable task of putting both belts on the line in the same night. He will be defending the US Championship against the man whom he defeated to win it, John Cena. Cena has done a tremendous work in making that title what it is today and wants it back. 

Seth's other belt, the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, will be defended against a true legend in the world of professional wrestling, Sting. The Icon's arrival into WWE has been rightfully heralded as a significant event. Considering this will only be his second WWE match ever, he's being treated like a big deal. Winning that title is an achievement he's yet to do.

There are two important titles on the line and three men in the mix. Four, if you count a certain Celtic briefcase holder. There are still a full two weeks until Night of Champions invades Houston, but it's still fun to wargame the best potential scenarios.

Read on for five of the most likely outcomes regarding who might walk out of that event with the gold.

5. Rollins Loses Both Titles

Seth Rollins has been the WWE Heavyweight Champion ever since he cashed in his briefcase mid-match in the main event of WrestleMania 31. Even with the many cheap wins he's incurred along the way, Rollins has enjoyed several months of an uninterrupted reign. To WWE's credit, they haven't hot-shotted that belt in a while. Many believe Rollins could hold onto that title until next year's WrestleMania, myself included.

His other title, the US Championship, isn't a belt that WWE have invested Rollins into as much. That's Cena's baby. Rollins just recently won it off of him at SummerSlam. This might be the belt that's more in jeopardy, but WWE would be foolish to pull the plug on Seth as a champion completely.

Rollins could very well lose one of his belts, but not both. Part of his character is that he's always finding a way to screw his challengers out of beating him for a title change. To turn him into the pursuer of one or both of those titles would be too big of a change of character. He's the spoiler of those that want to knock him off of that top spot. He'll continue on as a champion, most likely with the WWE title.
