With the injury Seth Rollins just suffered on this week’s episode of Monday Night Raw, it seems as though all the plans for his big match against Triple H at WrestleMania 33 are out the window. This has yet to be confirmed, as some reports are stating he may just be able to get cleared to compete in time, but if it’s that much down to the wire, WWE needs to play it safe and have a backup option in place rather than pulling a big match at the last minute and then leaving a 30 minute gap in time on the card.
The problem with the way WWE tends to book WrestleMania matches, though, is if you’re a big enough priority on the card, you’re probably considered a lock and the creative team doesn’t want to waste time figuring out alternative ways to get things done. Hell, we’ve seen issues in the past where they’ve had plans that were screwed up 6 months prior and it still felt as though there wasn’t enough time to find a suitable replacement, so imagine how much they must be scrambling now that they are just two months away from the biggest show of the year.
That being said, it’s not the end of the world, and there are some people on the roster who might have something to offer when it comes to being an opponent for Triple H at this year’s WrestleMania, so I wanted to present five potential options I can see being viable candidates.
Note: Keep in mind that I’m working under the assumption that several rumored matches are guarantees at this point, such as Roman Reigns vs. The Undertaker, Randy Orton vs. Bray Wyatt, Goldberg vs. Brock Lesnar and Kevin Owens vs. Chris Jericho .ewrestlingnews.com
