Night of Champions Will Seth Rollins Be Defending The WWE United States Title At Night Of Champions?

[The GOAT]

The WWE are not going to push a WCW creation like Sting. Vince McMahon is going to hammer in WWE > WCW til the end of time. I'll be surprised if Sting wins at all.

Rollins is holding the world title for a long time, possibly even beating Punks reign just to spite him.

Eh, they pushed Goldberg and Rey Mysterio pretty strongly. Booker T. had a pretty good career as well.

If anything, the fact that Sting came in and jobbed (to HHH of all people) at Wrestlemania in his first ever WWE match sort of feels like an initiation of sorts. Now it might be time for Sting to have his moment of glory and also get his revenge on The Authority for screwing him out of a victory at Mania in the process (he probably won't win a match though until Wrestlemania 32 in his hometown of Dallas, and even if he does win the title, he'll almost certainly be cashed in on by Sheamus moments later.)

On another note, I love the idea of Rollins defending both titles in separate matches on the same card. Rollins vs Cena for the United States Title would make for a tremendous opener.

'The Man of the WWE' thing is Seth's new moniker, Stop wasn't talking about Triple H in his closing sentence. And even if he were talking about Triple H, Sting is still a full decade older than him. Age is a factor in fights, it may not be the deciding factor, but it still plays a part. If it didn't, there wouldn't have been so many Rising Star/Grizzled Vet storylines that we've seen time and time again.

So you'd rather have Sting win the WWE Title in his second match with the WWE? The fact of the matter is that this match shouldn't be happening in the first place, but it is, and we can't do anything about it now. I don't disagree with you that Sting deserves a win, but not for the main title. Rollins has to win this, and it'll most likely be in a dirty fashion. This'll be the third PPV in a row that the ME hasn't ended clean, but they booked themselves in a corner with this.

But let's say Sting wins, he'll either get cashed in on almost immediately, which means another loss for him anyways. Or he'll be nowhere to be seen until the RTWM, and WWE will be left without the main title on RAW for the third time in the past couple of years. It'll all lead up to his next title match, and guess what? He'll lose.

Easy, with another dirty loss against him he'll be pissed off, and continue his 'fight' against The Authority. He can lead the charge against them and everything comes to ahead at Survivor Series. Whoever loses is done, and the winner's team captain gains control over WWE. Sting's Team wins, he's now known as the man who collapsed The Authority, and he's the new GM. That's not something that I necessarily want, but it shows just how easy Sting can continue on a good path after losing to Seth.

John Cena is nearly a decade older than a lot of the talent pool he faces. And, my point with all of this is not that Seth can't beat Sting. Seth can beat Sting, I was simply pointing out that Sting will have 2 straight losses and look weak. Had Sting barely beaten Triple H at Mania and then lose to Seth as a redemption type scenario it would make more sense and it would make Sting look more credible now. Like, maybe he can win the belt as he beat Seth's mentor? (it would make Sting winning seem more plausible even though I'd want Seth to win) Age can matter in WWE, but that also depends on status of the superstar, etc. Many other factors matter. Shawn Michaels was also much older than all of the talent he faced, yet he still won quite often.

Nope, my initial post/reply stated that Sting can lose, but he'll look majorly weak now and I think WWE went about this the wrong way. I do see their match ending in DQ for some reason; unless Triple H interferes.

"But let's say Sting wins, he'll either get cashed in on almost immediately, which means another loss for him anyways.

If Sting did win the title, even if he did lose right after to Sheamus, it would help his image more than him losing every time. He beat Seth clean and overcame all the odds, but simply got screwed over by Sheamus. I'm not saying this is the perfect scenario, but it gains more credibility than him just getting pinned every match. How doesn't it?

Sting isn't a big talker; thus, a manager role would be complete shit for him and we had a similar scene last year with the Authority and Cena. Not saying this can't happen, but Sting being GM would be awful. The Survivor Series match can happen and would be fun and Sting can "win" that way and it would hold some ground for like 3 months tops. But, then what? Continue to lose dirty and then everyone loves him? I don't see it being that easy.

As what Lockard said, this isn't always the case. And, hell, I don't really care if Sting wins too much, my point is that he should've beaten Triple H and now lost to Seth. It makes way more sense.

I doubt that.

Have to say I disagree, his run as manager in TNA was really entertaining. Great on the mic.

Well, opinions vary. He was okay, but Sting, even in WWE, is not known for talking. He's known for his persona, character, and in ring presence. It could maybe work, just don't see it going over well.

I still think Sting beats Rollins at NOC and I don't think Rollins drops the US title to Cena, but to Cesaro.

Opener (?): Rollins loses the US Title to Cesaro who then returns to his feud with Owens, probably with somebody else added to the mix (I'm thinking Ambrose would be good...plays tweener well and is "crazy enough" to be unpredictable in storyline).

Main Event: Sting pins Cena and Rollins loses the WWE-WHC (yes, a triple threat). Afterwards, Cena-Rollins-Sting brawl (gives Rollins a bitch since he wasn't actually pinned) and, in the midst of the melee, Sheamus cashes in and pins Sting. It gives Sting a moment of glory, Rollins doesn't eat a pin (that's called preservation), Cena's not hurt by taking a pin from Stinger, and Sheamus gets to further his heel heat by cashing in on a very over Sting in his moment of glory.

I still don't see Rollins losing the belt. There's too much invested in him.

That's precisely why I see him losing it sooner rather than later. They're already setting up his face turn. Taking the belt away from him (especially without him "actually losing" the title) will be the start of him garnering sympathy. I don't know that they'll do it at NOC (Survivor Series would be a bigger stage, obviously), but I just think there's a confluence of events right now to set up something like what I mentioned.

Also, my scenario keeps Cena from winning his 16th title and getting the belt taken away 2 minutes later by Sheamus (and I don't see Sheamus carrying around that briefcase that much longer).

The way I see it, him losing the belt is set to make someone. Particularly one of those two guys he is going to be interlocked with his entire career. Him dropping it to Sting who immediately drops it to Sheamus is wasteful and doesn't do anyone good.

Besides, he just became a dual crown champion. Him dropping both belts one month after that feat is just silly since it would make him look like a geek, shifty outcomes aside.
