Seth Rollins vs. Randy Orton Announced for WWE Extreme Rules 2015 PPV

Seth Rollins will put his WWE World Heavyweight Championship on the line for the first time when he meets Randy Orton at Extreme Rules later in the month. According to John Clapp of WWE.com, the WrestleMania 31 rematch is locked into the pay-per-view.

Kane announced during Monday night's edition of Raw that Orton would be competing in a Triple Threat match to determine the No. 1 contender for the world title.

Although Orton won, he had little time to revel in the victory. Rollins delivered a Curb Stomp shortly after the match, per WWE Universe:

It makes sense that Orton would get the first crack at Rollins with Brock Lesnar out of the picture for the time being. The Viper picked up a pinfall victory over the current champ at the biggest show of the year, and he'd been feuding with Rollins and The Authority in the weeks leading up to WrestleMania.

Plus, having Roman Reigns battle for the belt already would cause more harm than good. A Reigns title win would kill all of Rollins' momentum from his WrestleMania win, while Rollins retaining would stunt the progress Reigns made despite losing that title match.

Orton doesn't really need to win the title right now, so Rollins should get a much-needed title defense under his belt as he looks to firmly establish himself as the WWE world heavyweight champion.
