WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross recently penned a new article to FOXSports.com discussing the recent knee injury to former WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins.
Ross says whoever the new champion is, it should be a heel backed by The Authority. This would give them an opportunity to get real heat on someone; Ross makes a personal pick of using Roman Reigns as a corporate champion, with Brock Lesnar chasing him for the title.
The new champion should be a heel, who is endorsed and supported by The Authority, the antagonist leadership faction that “runs” WWE. The reasoning behind that is the champion will have the chance to get hot between Nov. 22 and April 3, the date of WrestleMania in 2016.
He will defend the title against the winner of the Royal Rumble at WrestleMania. My suggestion is to use Roman Reigns, or another up-and-coming younger talent, as a villain “Corporate Champion” and attachd the rocket ship to him to heat him up for the Rumble winner, Brock Lesnar.
Ross also says whatever the plan is, WWE needs to pick the winner and format the tournament based off of that. He says there is no room for error and they need to make each match count with decisive victories. Click here to read the complete article from Ross on FOXSports.com.
