What if Rollins actually.......

[Trip in the Head]

.......beats everyone at NOC? I'm talking Cena AND Sting AND Sheamus. All clean. Wouldn't that place him among the greats? I kind of doubt this will happen (hence the "what if" thread title) but damn I would mark my ass off. I'm sure @Prince Bálor would as well.

How would you feel about it?

And when's the last time someone won 3 matches in a single PPV? Has it ever happened (other than KoTR)? I'm just gonna tag @Lockard23 on that one. I would say the Bryan championship culmination was close as he beat HHH earlier in the night and then had to beat Orton and Batista in the same match. But not technically 3 separate matches.

 

[The GOAT]

I can definitely see Rollins walking out victorious with both championships, but I don't see him picking up three consecutive clean wins in a row. I'd be surprised if he even picked up one given how he's generally booked. Winning three matches clean in a row like that is one of the most babyface things that a babyface can do - Daniel Bryan did it against Jack Swagger, Cesaro and Ryback in a gauntlet match on Raw during the build to Summerslam '13 (Austin did the same thing in a gauntlet match against the Corporation on Raw in '99 as well), but Bryan was a pure, white-meat babyface who was out to prove that he could overcome any amount of odds, and that isn't Rollins' character at all, nor do I get any inkling that they're planning on turning Seth babyface anytime soon.

No other examples of people winning three matches in one night pop to mind outside of tournament matches that happen all within the same night (King Of The Ring, Wrestling Classic, Wrestlemania 4, Survivor Series '98, etc.) However, it should at least be mentioned that Kurt Angle, as a heel, nearly pulled off this feat at KOTR 2001 and only failed to do so due to outside interference. He beat Christian in the semi-finals, had Edge beat in the finals before Shane McMahon cost him the match (which is odd considering Edge was the face here and Angle the heel... As a bit of trivia, Angle beating Edge would also made him a two-time KOTR winner, btw), and then beat Shane McMahon in a pretty hellacious street fight later in the night.

Eh, unless they want to set him up for a face run immediately after NoC I don't think this makes a lot of sense.

I'll blow myself if Rollins retains clean against Cena and Sting, let alone a cash-in by Sheamus. 3:

But, that's just wishful thinking. Due to his chicken-shit heel booking, he'll prolly retain the titles via LOL. SHENANIGANS.

lol stealing my blowing lines

I would actually love if Rollins did this. But it won't happen. It's more probable that he will shatter punks title reign.

Not really. In a way, I was just reminding you that you said you'd blow me if Rollins retained the titles clean and then I followed it up with 'I'll blow myself.'
All I can say is, there'll be a lotta blowing if Rollins retains clean. 3:

 

[C.M. Shaddix]

All 3 CLEAN?! You'd see me mark out for sure

Omg if he wins all three period I'll blow you

 

[Green Jesus]

I can see him beating sting and sheamus at the same time due to a cash-in mid-match(in some sort of opportunistic fashion) but hell would freeze before he got over John cena clean. Even a valiant effort would tread the waters of a face-turn, and wwe doesn't seem to want that.

 

[Solidus1]

I would love that. Then we can have title vs title w/ Owens (IC champ obviously).

 

[Stopspot]

The company they supposedly ripped the dual champion story/gimmick from just had their guy retain both belts in one night.
So I guess WWE just has to step up to the plate.

Me, too.

Also, overbooking for both WWE-WHC and the US title confirmed. But, hey, I don't give a toss as long as Rollins walks away with both titles. :dealwithit:
