Seth Rollins is one of the most technically sound wrestlers in WWE. He may be lacking in experience at the Fight Pit, but he makes it up by being crafty in the ring. He won the last time they were in a one-on-one match, and he can do it again.
3. Bobby Lashley helps Matt Riddle to win
After Matt Riddle, US champion Bobby Lashley is the wrestler who absolutely hates Seth Rollins. Lashley beat Rollins 2 weeks back on RAW in a US tile match, after Riddle’s interference. Rollins attacked the US champion this week after his match on RAW and even curbed stomped him.
Lashley has challenged Rollins to a match on next week’s RAW where he has promised to shut him up. Maybe, he returns Riddle’s favor by helping him win tomorrow.
4. Daniel Cormier helps Seth Rollins win
Special guest referee Daniel Cormier is a Seth Rollins fan in real life. Rollins himself admitted this on RAW. DC was seen supporting Rollins at WrestleMania 31 and was even waving a Rollins T-shirt.
Seth returned the favor by congratulating Cormier after his UFC 226 victory in a text. Safe to say, they are friends. Rollins can win by Daniel Cormier’s help tomorrow.
