With Triple H fading into the background, Seth Rollins has taken his place as leader of the Authority and as such, de facto ruler of WWE. He's used Kane, The Big Show, Jamie Noble, and Joey Mercury to weasel his way out of tough situations while simultaneously maintaining his stranglehold on the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. His backup may have been put to pasture by Brock Lesnar, but Rollins remains the champion.

Who better to try and wrest the belt from the former Shield architect's hands than Sting? Sting made it his quest to save WWE from Triple H and the Authority, nearly forcing them out of power for good at Survivor Series 2014. While Triple H ultimately won their clash at WrestleMania, there's no reason why "The Vigilante's" quest for justice has to end.

Sting may be 56 years old, but he proved his athleticism and skill beyond a shadow of a doubt at WrestleMania. His physical presence, combined with his experience, would give the 29-year-old Rollins the fight of his life at SummerSlam.
