Seth Rollins vs. John Cena Announced for WWE Night of Champions 2015 PPV

Joseph ZuckerAug 31, 2015

The Authority had already announced last week that Seth Rollins would be defending his WWE World Heavyweight Championship against Sting at Night of Champions. Now, Rollins will be pulling double duty as he defends his United States Championship as well against John Cena.

Cena utilized the good old rematch clause to get another shot at Rollins, per WWE:

Ringside Xcess sees Rollins pulling a Bret Hart at WrestleMania 10:

It will be interesting to see which direction the company goes at Night of Champions.

Ever since winning the world title at WrestleMania 31, Rollins' momentum has stalled a little bit. He doesn't have a wealth of signature title defenses in which he has looked like a true world champion. Even at SummerSlam, Jon Stewart interfered and hit Cena with a chair, leading to Rollins' victory; that wasn't necessarily a clean win.

However, having Rollins wrestle twice in the same night could be the perfect cover for Sheamus to cash in his Money in the Bank briefcase without Rollins' credibility taking a hit. That cash-in is coming at some point, and Rollins will almost certainly never be more vulnerable than after wrestling Sting and Cena in less than a three-hour span.

Monday's episode of Raw hinted at some dissension in the ranks between Rollins and The Authority, and Night of Champions might be when his house of cards comes tumbling down.
