WWE Night Of Champions 2023: 10 Things That Must Happen

3. Seth Rollins = World Heavyweight Champ

Admittedly, there's been a lot of back and forth with this before settling on Seth.

It's genuinely lovely to see AJ Styles back in the hunt for top titles in WWE, but his comments about the new World Heavyweight Title being "secondary" could be ill-advised. Of course, Rollins himself has been waxing lyrical about how Roman Reigns' schedule necessitated another World prize, but yes - he's the favourite.

WWE sometimes enjoys pulling a quick swerve on these shows, so AJ still has a chance. That's the beauty of this match: Seth and Styles would be viable champs to lead the way full-time on Raw. They're both respected workhorses in-ring, but most would agree this is Rollins' time once again.

He's the only man in history to work three matches booked to crown first-ever champs. Seth wrestled for the NXT, Universal and now World Heavyweight belts. Yep, WWE should go with the most obvious route here. Stick that strap on Sethy!
