Jim Ross Believes that Seth Rollins Should Remain WWE Champion Until WrestleMania 32

WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross believes that Seth Rollins should remain WWE Champion until WrestleMania 32 on April 3, 2016. Ross bragged about Rollins as WWE World Heavyweight Champion, and laid out how he would book for “The Future of the WWE” in a recent interview with the “Two Man Power Trip of Wrestling” podcast.

Ross would go on to reference Rollins as a, “booker’s dream,” on the show, supporting his claims with an explanation. He deems Rollins as a “beatable champion,” which is why he works so well as the “chicken sh*t heel.”

Ross says,

“I would not take the championship off of Seth Rollins until WrestleMania. At WrestleMania, if I have something that I believes works, then that is where he would drop the title. By then he would have had a full year and if he is not over and he is not a ‘made man’ after being champion, then you can’t blame the promotion.

I am very proud of the worker that he has become. He has a great mind for the business. He is a booker’s dream; in other words, he is a beatable champion. In the territory days or the live event days … theoretically on any given night that he is defending the title he can be beat.

He’s not so physically imposing that he looks unbeatable and I like that. If you are going to have a heel champion then I like one that has vulnerability.”

Rollins narrowly escaped WWE “Battleground” with the strap, as The Undertaker returned during the main event and attacked Brock Lesnar, leaving Rollins room to escape and remain WWE Champion. It has not yet been confirmed, but Rollins is rumored to possibly have a WWE title match against United States Champion John Cena at WWE “SummerSlam” on Aug. 23.

Editor’s Note:

JR’s not wrong. Rollins is the “Edge”-type heel and he needs to remain in that role.
