Tonight on NXT, Seth Rollins returns back to NXT. He defends his recently won World Heavyweight Championship. Seth goes back to where he shined above everyone else and where he was deemed worthy enough to he the first NXT Champion. If Ring of Honor is where he was born and WWE is where he’s matured, then NXT was his angsty adolescence years. Seth was wrestling in NXT before Takeovers were a thing, before NXT became a somewhat household name with Seth Rollins. While he wasn’t there for NXT’s glory years, he certainly paved the way for those years and for those wrestlers to shine.
When you mention NXT Champions, you have to mention Seth. He set the standard and went onto become a massive name. Tonight on NXT, he faces a guy you also have to mention in that conversation. Bron Breakker. Both proved to be worthy Champions.
Bron Breakker is about to ascend to the main roster while Seth Rollins is in the prime of his career. It’s a great story going in. The veteran who’s not going a way for a while vs a blue chip prospect with plenty to prove.
What can we expect out of this match? Seth Rollins could get a good match out of a paper bag and Bron has proved the be much more than that. While he isn’t the workhorse champion like Finn Balor or Adam Cole, he’s had really good matches against the likes of Carmelo Hayes, Tyler Bate and Ilja Dragunov. If this match is given the time it deserves and a proper finish I think it will be one of the best matches of the whole week. And it’s a huge one. That isn’t hyperbole. Both wrestlers are capable of putting on a match as good anything at Forbidden Door.
What do you think? Could we get a new Champion?
