Seth Rollins has a chance to win the World Heavyweight Championship at SummerSlam as he goes one-on-one with his longtime rival, Roman Reigns. While the OTC has The Bloodline, The Visionary currently stands alone. Interestingly, Solo Sikoa has offered to help Rollins and be his “shield” in his battle against Reigns.
Rollins seemed tempted, but took some time before deciding. That said, in this listicle, we will look at three reasons why Seth Rollins should accept Solo Sikoa’s offer.
Thanks for the submission!
#3. The Bloodline interference is a strong possibility
Seth Rollins has shared the ring with Roman Reigns more than almost anyone else in WWE. Because of that, he knows exactly what he could be walking into at SummerSlam.
Over the past several years, many of Roman’s biggest victories have come with help from The Bloodline. Whether it was The Usos, Solo Sikoa, or other members of the family, outside interference has often played a role when Roman’s biggest matches were on the line.
That history cannot be ignored. Rollins may want to defeat Roman on his own. However, he also knows that expecting a completely fair fight against The Tribal Chief is risky. Even if Roman has no plans to ask for help, there is nothing stopping The Bloodline from getting involved if they see him in trouble.
That could completely change the match. Solo Sikoa’s offer gives Rollins a way to prepare for that possibility. Solo does not have to interfere in the match himself. Instead, he can stay at ringside and stop anyone from tipping the scales in Roman’s favor.
It is also worth remembering that Solo knows how The Bloodline operates because he was once one of its most important members. He understands how Roman’s family thinks and when they are most likely to get involved.
Rollins cannot control what The Bloodline does at SummerSlam. However, he can make sure he is not outnumbered if history repeats itself. Accepting Solo’s offer would give him someone to keep an eye on Roman’s allies while he focuses on winning the World Heavyweight Championship.
#2. Seth Rollins has no allies
Seth Rollins has spent most of his career doing things on his own. Over the years, he has had allies come and go. However, many of those relationships ended on bad terms. As things stand, Rollins does not have anyone on the main roster who is likely to stand beside him against Roman Reigns.
That could become a problem at SummerSlam. If The Bloodline gets involved, Rollins may have nobody to even the odds. There is no obvious babyface waiting to come out and help him.
That is why Solo Sikoa’s offer deserves serious consideration. Rollins may not fully trust Solo. However, he also knows he cannot afford to go into a match against Roman and The Bloodline without any backup. Even if it is only for one night, having Solo in his corner could give him the support he currently lacks.
#1. Solo Sikoa isn’t going to betray him
Seth Rollins may be worried about Solo Sikoa turning on him. However, Solo has much bigger problems with Roman Reigns right now.
That is why Solo approached Rollins in the first place. He is not trying to become Rollins’ friend. He simply wants to get back at Roman. Helping Rollins beat The Tribal Chief would hurt Roman far more than betraying Rollins during the match.
A double-cross would only make Roman’s job easier. However, stopping the OTC from winning at SummerSlam would fit Solo’s current goals. For that reason alone, Rollins may have enough reason to believe that Solo will stay on his side for one night.
