Seth Rollins, Patrick Clark-Donald Trump and More from the Great Mailbag

With company friend Donald Trump stockpiling primaries like hairpieces, WWE is all but ignoring the biggest story in the nation. Sure, there's the whole Darren Young gimmick, which is a veiled nod to Trump's "Make America Great Again" slogan, but where's the beef?

WWE can use its ties to Trump to capitalize on the firestorm of coverage given to The Donald. Lucky for WWE, NXT is trying this out.

"I Ain't Got No Stereotype?"

Patrick Clark's new gimmick, via Twitter (h/t Marc Middleton of Wrestling Inc.), could be a game-changer, and I mean that. The former WWE Tough Enough standout and current NXT star is trying out a gimmick that directly addresses Trump's unstoppable momentum. For the first time in recent memory, a black WWE Superstar is not playing up a stereotype.

Instead, he's doing the opposite. Trump has come under fire for racially insensitive remarks, per Maggie Haberman of the New York Times, but here's Clark portraying an unlikely supporter, and it's brilliant.

WWE has been quiet in directly addressing Trump on television, which is understandable, as mixing politics with family entertainment can get hairy. But given WWE's longstanding relationship with Trump, it's about time the promotion begins capitalizing on the ratings bonanza that is The Donald.

Lord knows it could use the help, as Raw is struggling against the NBA playoffs, per Mitch Metcalf of Showbuzz Daily.

Clark's character is the perfect embodiment of the type of polarization that could garner national attention—similar to xenophobic heels like Zeb Colter or Sgt. Slaughter. NXT at least has until November to get this gimmick off the ground and into WWE, and if so, it will produce nuclear heat.

Money in the Bank Valuation

With just over one month until Money in the Bank, the field seems wide open, but Money in the Bank will likely be a remix of the WWE Intercontinental Championship Fatal 4-Way.

I see Sami Zayn, Cesaro, The Miz, Kevin Owens, Chris Jericho, Dean Ambrose, Kalisto and Rusev competing—give or take Sheamus and Alberto Del Rio.

I consider Owens the early favorite, and he would be a lot of fun as an obnoxious briefcase-holder. Provided Owens doesn't get hurt like most aging indy veterans who currently dominate the WWE roster, his eventual cash-in could surpass that of Dolph Ziggler in terms of fan excitement.

A potential Owens-Roman Reigns rivalry, with Reigns chasing Owens for the championship, would continue the entertaining theme of Reigns taking on the Internet Wrestling Community's finest.

If Seth Rollins returns as a babyface and eventually becomes the world champion who Owens cashes in against, Rollins-Owens could also be a supreme wrestling feud.

Question of the Week: Hustle, Loyalty, Rollins?

@ThisIsNasty whose the better opponent for Roman at Summerslam, Cena or Rollins?

Both John Cena and Rollins will be making their much-anticipated returns this year. Faint "We want Rollins!" chants could be heard during the opening segment of Raw, and Rollins makes the most sense as a challenger since he never lost the championship.

Rollins is similar to AJ Styles in the ring, and he already has built-in chemistry with Reigns dating back to their days before, during and after The Shield.

A Rollins-Reigns feud could be even more captivating than Styles-Reigns since the focus would be on two WWE Superstars, not six.

Cena and Reigns have yet to compete one-on-one at a pay-per-view, and this has the potential to be a big-money match. If possible, WWE should hold off until WrestleMania 33 to book that match. And as the New Era moves forward, there should be serious consideration of making Cena a heel.
