Did Rollins ever choose his title match for mania?

[Zen411]

Did Seth actually choose lesnar or did wwe make the match official?

I still think he should choose Daniel bryan and they put the demon balor against lesnar.

Possible this still happens?

If you somehow think Rollins vs Bryan could happen you must either not watch the show or be having major delusions about what you're seeing on screen

“Man that ass whipping from Brock last week was so bad. I think I’m gonna choose the other guy.”

No lol.

[repomark]

OP is right - he never officially chose to my knowledge. Would be very hard and unlikely for him to chose anyone but Brock after taking the beating though. Would be hilarious (those F5s hurt so I am going after the guy with the hemp belt instead) but I think it is pretty much set in stone now even if not official.

He didn't choose his opponent, but let's also not make snarky comments towards the OP.

To me, it's such a bland storyline. Lesnar beats down Rollins. Rollins gets revenge two months later at mania and wins title.

Just wishful thinking for a twist in the storyline. Plus I'm sure rollins vs bryan would be a better match and I want to see demon vs beast.

I assume Seth going down to confront Brock was his way of choosing. He just didn't vocalize it. Unless they do something like last year where Asuka feuds with Alexa for 2 months making it seem like that was the Mania match only for Asuka to suddenly challenge Charlotte. So in March, Seth could suddenly reveal he's changed his mind and wants Bryan's title so he could burn it down

Tho that kind of became clear pretty early she wasn't going to get Alexa once she kept whooping her ass when they were supposed to save that for Mania

Charlotte/Asuka was too good to pass up and you had the Alexa/Nia situation on hand tho that match should been a squash and it wasn't

Honestly, I feel like Rollins vs Lesnar is a boring, tired matchup... and I'm not even sure if they've ever had a match before. Maybe it's Rollins being almost interchangeable in my eyes with Reigns, who seemingly wrestled Lesnar six thousand times, over the last few years.

Regarding Bryan, if he's still feuding with AJ at Mania, that match will be even staler. But Bryan vs Balor would be rather cool, if it could be engineered.

Sadly I think Finn has to settle for the consolation prize of the IC title match.

[MrElijah]

My sources tell me he said screw both champions and declared himself as the FTW World Heavyweight Champion.

[Starshine]

I mean...

[Friday Night SmackSown]

FWIW, WWE.com officially lists Rollins vs. Lesnar as a match for WM35.

[cabbageboy]

I joked last week that Rollins should come out tonight and say "You know, Heyman had a decent point. I could have a good match with Bryan and probably even win that one. So yeah, I'll pick Bryan."
