Hell in a Cell Predictions: Seth Rollins VS Kane
 |
| WWE World Heavyweight Championship Match |
This Sunday, live on the WWE Network, Seth Rollins will defend the WWE World Heavyweight Championship inside Hell in a Cell against a man who has been haunting he's every move for the past month, Kane. Up on he's return, the demon has made it perfectly who and what he is coming after and this weekend he will finally get he's big opportunity but will he leave the night as champion? Or will Rollins hold onto gold for a little longer? In today's blog post I'm going to be taking you back through what both superstars have been up to over the past month and making my final bold predictions. So with so much to get through let's not waste any more time and jump right into the blog post.
It was a little over a month ago at the Night of Champion pay per view that Kane made he's much anticipated return to the WWE after being taken out by Brock Lesnar (and Seth Rollins) several month back. Making he's presence known, the demon attacked both Mr Money in the bank Sheamus and the man he once stood side by side with, Seth Rollins. After over a year serving the WWE World Heavyweight Champion and taking months and months of abuse, Kane finally proved that he had had enough and reminded everybody just how dangerous he is sending a message to Rollins,the authority and the WWE universe; Kane was back and was coming after that WWE World Heavyweight Championship. However, the following night on RAW we were surprised to see corporate Kane back and doing he's duties as director of operations acting as though nothing had happened the night before and he was simply back from a holiday away. As excepted there were a lot of confused faces including Rollins', after all it was twenty four ours ago that the world had witnessed a masked demon return and take out the top guy on the roster. It was clear that we were now being presented with a dual personality Kane. Throughout the month we have seen him both as the Demon Kane and corporate Kane and to be honest it has been one of the most entertaining things currently on the roster. For months and months and months I have been sitting here writing blog posts and tweets disguising how stale Kane has become as a character. I grew up a huge Kane fan like most people my age and so seeing him develop into this corporate joke booked in poor predicable matches has been difficult and frustrating to watch. Throughout the past month Kane and he's split personality character has been the main focus in he's feud with Seth Rollins and it has been without a doubt the most entertaining and consistent things going on the main roster. I honestly did not expect it to be this good and this entertaining. I originally didn't have high expectations of the Seth Rollins/Kane feud and I wasn't sure what road the WWE would go down. I doubted highly that it would be a success. However, this split personality idea has been the one thing keeping the fans interested and invested in the whole thing. The feud it self, storyline wise, made perfect sense. The last time we saw Kane he was taken out by Brock Lesnar without the help of Seth Rollins who later attacked an already injured leg of Kane. After spending a couple of months out of action we all know that eventually the demon would be returning and he would of course be after the blood of the WWE World Heavyweight Champion. He's return was rumoured on several occasions and how he would fit into a storyline was speculated over and over again. However, after spending the past year being booked so poorly there was hardly anyone interested in a Kane/Seth Rollins storyline and the expectations were weak. Putting Kane back behind a mask was not going to be enough to get the fans behind the storyline and so creating a split personality Kane was made and as a result it has paid off excellently and the WWE universe are much more interested than expected. The parts we have seen Kane was work as corporate Kane have been much less serious and far more comedic and entertaining. Portraying himself as the good guy who had nothing but the best intentions for Rollins made this whole feud so great. Fans have been laughing and genuinely enjoying the work from the future hall of famer and for the first time in a long time he has been the dangerous, slightly unpredictable and strongly relevant character and this Sunday he get's the chance of a lifetime when he faces off with Rollins inside a structure he knows all to well, Hell in a cell, for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. But will he walk out with gold?
Seth Rollins has been the one to watch for the past year and a half. Portrayed as the new face of World Wrestling Entertainment, there has hardly been a live event where Rollins hasn't been the main event. He has stepped in the ring with some of the best to ever step foot in the company; from the likes of John Cena, Sting, Brock Lesnar, Randy Orton, and more. He has had several potential match of the year contenders against all the names above and more and is a hot choice for superstar of the year. However, there is one problem that I and many others have come across and even though I have mentioned several times before I'm going to have to go through it once again. Seth Rollins and he's win/loss record. This is a superstar who is leading a new generation. A superstar who is being pushed as the best thing around right now. So why when you look at how many matches he has actually won compared to how many he has lost are we stunned by the results? There is no doubt that Rollins is a fighting champion. He puts that title on the line when needed and competes almost every week either on RAW or Smackdown. He is the one champion who has actually defended the title on Smackdown witch can't be said for previous holders. But when trying to make Rollins look so dominate, so dangerous, why on earth would you have him loose so many matches? Yes, the fact that he has been playing the sneaky, wimpy champion has maybe made us not realise how many matches he has actually loss but this is something that a lot of the WWE universe are picking up on. What we need to be asking ourselves, is would we have seen John Cena lose as many matches as champion? He has far too often come across as a fool or a victim, and as champion it's not something you would expect or want to see. The WWE have had him hide behind Stephanie and Hunter and followed around/supported by J&J security and none of it has done him any favours. He's credibility as champion has decreased as time has gone on and sometimes not even the best of matches can hide the poor continuous booking and that is exactly what we have been seeing here. Now, the opponents we have seen Rollins step in the ring with this year have been amazing. Some of the best in the world and it has elevated Rollins. As I have already mentioned, he has managed to deliver some phenomenal matches against every single one of the future hall of famers I have mentioned. Taking on both Sting and John Cena in one night (and taking a beating from Kane and Sheamus) proved in itself that he really is the top guy around right now and is without a doubt leading a new generation. Love him or hate him, Seth Rollins is the full package and the WWE and the WWE universe know that full well by now. He's current feud with Kane has without question been carried by Kane. He has been the main focus and the center of attention throughout the past month and so Rollins has had to gain momentum and attention in smaller areas. Once again, despite solid promo, Rollins has picked up losses time and time again even against Kane and has come across as the champion who can't look after himself without the help of the Authority. Now, the build up has been entertaining and this weekend Rollins will defend the WWE World Heavyweight Championship against a man he now knows very well but will he be able to keep hold of he's gold or will we be seeing a new champion crowned at Hell in a sell this Sunday?
I have said it time and time again in this blog post today, but this has been without a doubt one of the most entertaining feuds of the past month thanks to Kane and he's new split personality character. The move has easily been a success and one of the best decisions the WWE have made in a long time but how this feud will come to a conclusion is an interesting one to predict. The WWE have build Kane up perfectly over the past month but with such a long title reign, defending the championship against so many big names and coming up on top, will they really have Rollins drop the title to Kane of all people? After spending so much time booked as Seth's security guard almost and being one of the most irrelevant characters on the roster, I doubt highly that we will see Kane crowned the new WWE World Heavyweight Champion only a month after he's return. Personally I will be backing the demon. I have been a life long fan of he's and I honestly believe that he deserves one last big run as champion. He is currently at a high in he's career for the first time in a long time and to be honest, I don't think there will be a better time to put the title on him. The actual match itself, will be one to watch. I do think the WWE made a huge mistake when they basically gave away for free the match
