Seth Rollins Retains Against Sting, Then Meets His Next Challenger

Night of Champions for Seth Rollins went pretty much how I thought the WWE would handle it. He dropped the United States Championship back to Cena. He retained against Sting. Sheamus cashing in was teased, but that did not go anywhere. Masked Kane returned to break it up, making Seth Rollins his main target. The return of Kane was the only thing I did not bring up.

If they had just brought Kane back and had him act like nothing happened after Seth attacked him, I probably would have given up right there. That is not what they are doing, but what they are doing is interesting. It is better than just a regular title/revenge feud. They are showing some creative interest here. Rollins will likely retain, since Kane hardly ever wins World titles, but it is still an interesting storyline.

I have seen fans complain about Kane. They say no one cares about him, whether he has the mask on or not. But he has a gimmick that allows for some interesting storylines and feuds, and also segments. It does cause a stir, whether some fans realize it or not. I am not saying it will draw, but it will get fans already watching interested more. There was a time when a lot of people came to this blog because they were searching for Kane. This was around the time he came back with that metal mask. And I think the storyline they are running now once again has potential to get fans talking.

What about Sting? It was not a good night for him at Night of Champions. I am sure many fans would still love to see him face The Undertaker. I do not think Sting is done. Even after Lesnar, The Undertaker will not be done just yet. But what will the feud look like when Sting has not won one feud in his first year in the WWE? In that span, The Undertaker has at least beaten Bray Wyatt and Brock Lesnar. There are some individuals that do not need to win a lot to be over and have credibility, but Sting should look better than this before facing The Undertaker. And the longer they wait, the less likely the match will be great. I know Sting won that tag match on Raw recently, but I am thinking he should win a major match, and not by some DQ finish. Hopefully what they do with him next helps him a lot more than his first two feuds.
