wrestlemania 31WrestleMania Record: 2-0

Seth Rollins is 6’1” and 217 pounds. He is the current holder of the Money in the Bank briefcase at age 28.

WrestleMania Wins:

Orton/Sheamus/Big Show, New Age Outlaws/Kane

Fun Fact: As a member of The Shield in his two WrestleMania matches, Seth Rollins has logged only about 13 minutes and 30 seconds of match time. 

The most talented in-ring performer in Evolution faces the most talented in-ring performer in The Shield. This has been the easiest and most logical feud WWE has heading into WrestleMania. Seth Rollins SHOULD win this match, but a loss catapults Orton back into a main event spot, while Seth Rollins will STILL be Mr. Money in the Bank and a potential world champion in the next few months.

This will be the most entertaining match inside of the ring in quite some time for Randy Orton. Seth Rollins will be able to get the absolute best and freshest moves from him. Expect an incredible RKO out of nowhere. Expect the unexpected. Let’s just hope to God that J and J Security gets thrown out from ringside early in the match and it is spotlighted on these two talented individuals.

I really want this to go 25 minutes. They have been spoiled on Raw and Smackdown, thanks to part time appearances from Sting, Lesnar, Triple H and others. They have gotten the most TV time BY FAR and I expect a 5 star match. Rollins vs. Orton is something every wrestling purist should enjoy, soak in and celebrate on Sunday.
