The WWE is booking this the right way. Sure Kane is mixed in this but I feel it doesn't take away the good work from Orton or Rollins, they are both doing well this year.
I wasn't a fan of Rollins but after last night he sold me on how good he is. Orton has his rival.
This. Rollins just won the title 30 days ago and it feels like he's been feuding with Orton and Reigns for ages. Seriously, give Rollins a new opponent.
after the games i put raw on and the main event was just starting. not gonna pretend i'm fully aware of what's going on because this is the first event i've seen since the brock after mania episode of raw. just seems bleh. i love seth but randy orton and roman reigns in a triple threat doesn't excite me.
Orton's gotta be loving feuding with Seth..he sells all his moves perfectly and can take any bump, that curb stomp RKO reversal at Mania was awesome! that and its the perfect young buck on the rise/veteran that was once in his shoes type angle..The Messiah Rollins out here revitalizing careers.
That said, it's definitely cooled off and should have been handled a lot better but it's the modern WWE writing so you know how that goes.. but these two can definitely put on a show in the ring
It had potential, but has been booked like shit. Their match at ER was bad, and that's incredible, considering how good in the ring Rollins and Orton are.
Orton and Rollins are storytelling. This feud is the only thing the WWE is good at these days. You don't wanna take something the WWE is doing good and get stuck with Cena again.
Who would you have Rollins have a match with? Orton and Reigns are big stars and Rollins is in big matches with the best talent right now. If you put Ambrose in the title match now I think after he loses he would never get another shot again. Bryan please next... Lasner is part time and when he was Champ we never saw the title.
Do you want Rollins going over mid card and seem weak??
When two of the best ring workers on the roster have a crap match, THAT is when we blame the bookers.
There aren't many other main event faces to fill that spot ATM. I'd like to see them rotate Ambrose in, but they f*cked that up again with the KotR booking.
I understand what both of you guys are saying, and you guys have points, as well, as in, who would Seth feud with then? Well, he's already faced Orton in the last two PPVs in one on one matches. And he's had numerous matches with Reigns since the Shield breakup whether it be singles matches OR Tag matches on Raw and Smackdown, too many to even count. I'd be fine with a Wyatt feud. That would be fresh. But of course Wyatt had to lose to Taker and now Wyatt is no man's land, so it doesn't make sense to have him feud with Rollins now, I suppose. Just another reason why Wyatt should have won that match. Ambrose, but he's been sputtering around in the midcard for months with no direction whatsoever. You guys are right that options due to the booking is limited. But I think I'd still rather see him feud with those guys because at least those feuds would be more fresh than these. And yes, I know he feuded with Ambrose last year, but it'd still be better than Orton or Reigns being continued, IMO. Wouldn't mind Rusev either, pre-Cena losses. Hell, still might be better than Orton and Reigns and is certainly more fresh. Thinking about this situation it's amazing how awful the entire roster is booked.
From Rollins Pinning Orton on Raw to led to Orton going nuts last year to Orton coming back getting the win back at WM. To the RKO being banned so last week Orton RKO'ed the backstage last monday then doing one of the best RKO's you'll ever see on Raw inside the cage...to Rollins taken Orton's move using it as the SKO to keep the belt.
Honestly it's the best they can do for Seth at this moment in time, I mean like everyone else has said who else could he feud with? Let's just hope they do something better soon, hell even have a J&J security go against him saying that Noble deserves a shot after all he has done for him lol!!
Rollins & Reigns should've waited to feud, because Reigns' present skill advancement would've made it more exciting, but it's been going on so long, that it's time for a break. We can revisit it later. That being said, Rollins & Reigns usually give very good matches, but this feud with them & Orton is starting to run dry. As WH champion, Rollins should've been done put Orton down & moved on to someone else. Their feud shouldn't have run longer than 1 PPV. Reigns should be doing an awesome midcard feud with Barrett, Dallas, or Sheamus, & Orton should be putting over Wyatt in a feud.
What needs to happen to get Rollins some major credibility, is have Rusev beat Cena at Payback for the title, then Rusev defends in a feud with Ryback or Neville. Then have Cena feud with Rollins, but have Rollins beat him at Summerslam. That would send Rollins' cred through the roof. Cena & Orton have won enough feuds. Putting a few guys over wouldn't hurt at all.
If Bryan has to retire, Barrett or Sheamus can take the IC title off him, & either of them can feud with Reigns for it.
Also, Rollins is winning at Payback because he & Lesnar never had their rematch from post-Mania Raw, so for anyone worried about Reigns or Orton (probably mostly Reigns) getting the title at Payback, it's not going to happen, & you can relax. Rollins vs Lesnar for Summerslam is pretty much set in stone.
They're just extending this feud long enough until Lesnar comes back to regain the gold at SummerSlam. There isin't many other guys Rollins can face aside from Orton and Reigns, Kane will probably be the MITB or Battleground opponent.
It's boring as fuck. Their Steel Cage match will go down as one of the worst WWE Championship matches this year.
I'd much rather see Rollins feud with someone like Ambrose, even though I disliked their feud last year. At least that would feel somehow fresh. Rollins has been the champ for 1 month but it feels like he has been the champ for 1 year, and that is not a good thing. They need to give him fresh opponents.
Meh. Rollins and Crna have better chemistry in the ring. They even had a better cage match on Raw too. As usual Orton is that boring anchor but at least they have him face now so he can actually get people excited for an RKO.
When you look at it in its entirety (Fall of the last year), then yes, of course its been awesome. Over the last few weeks its begun to drag a bit, but again, its an early summer feud. People have mentioned a few good feud suggestions above, but you're not going to get the good stuff right now. That's deliberate.
I honestly think that the Kane/Rollins aspect of this story line has been the real focal point. If people could get over their fatigue of seeing him used, they'd recognize what an awesome performance Kane has been putting on week in and week out. If I had to wager a guess, that'll be Seth's MITB bout, setting the table for whatever fuckery happens at Summer Slam when he likely loses the strap.
I've only been reading recaps, but the feud doesn't seem to be crackling with chemistry.
