In the lead-up to WrestleMania 42, WWE’s top stars are beginning to solidify their spots on the grandest stage of them all. However, for one highly-anticipated match, the company remains hesitant to make a formal announcement. According to sources close to Seth Rollins, a potential showdown with Bron Breakker is still being considered – but behind the scenes, there’s a growing sense of uncertainty.
The Original Plans
As of late last year, Seth Rollins vs. Bron Breakker was penciled in for a high-profile showdown at WrestleMania 42. The idea made sense, with both men possessing the charisma and in-ring prowess to deliver a memorable bout. Rollins, the reigning United States Champion, has been looking to make a strong comeback after a string of disappointing losses, while Breakker is one of the top prospects in the NXT brand.
However, sources claim that WWE creative is still deliberating over the match, with some executives questioning whether it’s the right fit for the show. “There’s been a lot of back-and-forth about the Rollins-Breakker match,” a WWE insider revealed. “Some people feel like it’s too early for Breakker to be in a high-profile match against a top star like Rollins, while others think it could be a great opportunity for him to prove himself.”
The Concerns
One of the main concerns surrounding the Rollins-Breakker match is the potential for Breakker to fall flat in a high-stakes bout against a seasoned veteran. While Breakker has shown flashes of brilliance in the ring, his overall performance has been inconsistent, and some are worried that he may not be ready for the bright lights of WrestleMania.
Additionally, there’s been speculation that WWE may be considering other opponents for Rollins, including a potential showdown with Damian Priest. Sources close to Priest have revealed that he’s been pushing for a match against Rollins, and some in WWE creative are intrigued by the idea of pitting the two men against each other.
The Alternative Options
If WWE does decide to go in a different direction for Rollins’ WrestleMania 42 opponent, there are a number of alternative options that have been discussed behind the scenes. According to sources, one potential opponent for Rollins could be Finn Bálor, who has been looking to revitalize his career after a string of losses.
Another option that’s been floated is a match between Rollins and Cody Rhodes, who has been one of the top stars in the WWE universe in recent months. While a match between Rollins and Rhodes would be a highly anticipated bout, it’s unclear whether WWE creative would be interested in pairing the two men together at WrestleMania.
The Bottom Line
As WrestleMania 42 draws closer, WWE’s top stars are starting to solidify their spots on the grandest stage of them all. However, for Seth Rollins, the uncertainty surrounding his opponent continues to linger. While a match against Bron Breakker may still be in the cards, it’s clear that WWE creative is hesitant to make a formal announcement – at least for now.
“We’re still exploring our options for Rollins’ opponent,” a WWE spokesperson revealed. “We want to make sure that we’re giving our fans the best possible show, and that means taking the time to get it right. We’ll announce Rollins’ opponent when the time is right, and I’m confident that it will be a match that our fans will be excited about.”
For now, Rollins and WWE fans will have to wait and see what’s in store for the United States Champion at WrestleMania 42. One thing’s for sure, however – the uncertainty surrounding his opponent has only added to the intrigue surrounding the big event.
