Brock Vs. Seth At Battleground 2015 & Possibly More?

When the WWE first made it official that Seth Rollins would defend the title against Brock Lesnar, I was looking forward to see how the WWE would have Rollins step up. He had been booked as a weak WWE Champion. Would he finally turn into that diamond? Instead of continuing along that path, they went backwards and have continued to treat him as a coward that needs The Authority. Of course, his help has now been once again removed. Rollins has once again alienated himself from his partners, attacking Kane himself on Raw this week. Does that really give Rollins the momentum heading into Battleground? Seth Rollins with no help vs. Brock Lesnar. The odds are still against Seth.

Who wins? The outcome will probably not benefit anyone. If the WWE really wanted to help Seth Rollins look like a real star, they would have him look good against Brock. The story of this match will probably be Seth acting cowardly and Brock looking like a beast until shenanigans happen. Even if Seth retains like that, how does that really help him? And what about Brock regaining the title? That didn't work out as well as it could have last year. I wouldn't be surprised if the WWE does it again, but I would say it is an overrated idea that Lesnar getting the title back is best for business. It would help if it isn't a long reign. Regardless of all that,  I will say Rollins retains this Sunday.

Sheamus and his briefcase will be around. Will that play a factor this Sunday? I don't think it should. Sheamus just doesn't seem like a big deal. I can only imagine him ending up like Sandow. If the WWE wants people to really buy into him, they need to do more with him. If they do decide to use him now, it can be a convenient way to get the title off Lesnar, should he beat Rollins. Again, I just do not buy Sheamus as worthy of being WWE Champion again.

Will anyone else be around at Battleground? There are heavy rumors of The Undertaker being there. That is relevant to the title match. Brock Lesnar was the man that ended Taker's undefeated streak at Wrestlemania. Will The Undertaker come back for revenge? It seems petty. It does not seem like what Taker would do, as a face. Would they turn him heel? If he is going to be involved in this story, it might be either to cost Lesnar the match or set up a feud with Lesnar after he beats Seth Rollins for the title. The Undertaker vs. Brock Lesnar at Summerslam for the WWE Championship. That sounds big. There are also rumors that Sting will be around. Is the WWE planning to start the build for a feud between The Undertaker and Sting?

This is the kind of thing that feels like a big summer angle. The WWE needs something like that to help their ratings. But there is something to keep in mind. Go back to this year's Wrestlemania season. The WWE had feuds going for both The Undertaker and Sting, as well as John Cena, Daniel Bryan, Brock Lesnar, and pretty much all their available stars. And ratings were mediocre. All the ratings leading up to Wrestlemania were at the level you would expect from football season. The ratings boost did not show up. Will trying it again help ratings? The Undertaker should help, especially if he shows up more frequently than he did during Wrestlemania season.
