World Heavyweight Championship: Time to take it off Seth?

[Legion]

Well, Cena is back for a bit sooooooo

[The Rick Jericho]

Come on Hunter, do it.

I would be down for Shinsuke vs. Roman at Survivor Series.

[mc74]

I'd be on board with Seth dropping it to Priest or WALTER.

As long as it's not Cody. Let Cody take Roman down instead.

[Banjo Is Broken]

"Time to take it off Seth" something Becky says to Rollins every night since she won her NXT title.

Poor Seth's back can't take it.

Other than Shin, who else is a worthy contender?

Priest, Gunther, Jey, Sami

[HIM]

I read something yesterday about the company being happy with his reign so sadly I feel that Nakamura's going to get beat. Like, I don't know what it'll take but Seth probably ain't losing for a while. Even if this storyline is the perfect way to get him to lose.

He's got a bad back
It's a Last Man Standing match.
Priest is MITB and can cash in.

It's the best time.

Unless they changed the rules you cash mitb at any time but how would that work if someone cashed in during a lms match?
I'm guessing it becomes a triple threat but it would be weird.

Yeah it would be weird but it would be an interesting cool twist. Given Seth won his first WWE Title off of something similar it would be ironic.

[Chuck Conry]

I'm not saying I want the title to change hands like they did in the Attitude days. But I would like a happy medium. The titles don't change enough now days.

[jackswagz]

I think if Punk has signed or is about to you leave it on Seth and have Punk Seth mania for the title.

It's a huge match.

[Xxcjb01xX [PIECE OF: SH-]]

If this dude beats Nakamura and then avoids the Priest Cash In for much longer when his back is supposed to be hanging on by a thread I'm gonna have to call this some serious BS lol

The prospect of him holding this till Mania let alone defending it against CM Punk make me want to hurl lmfao

[clifford]

His title reign has low key stunk

[tirtefaa]

My stupid idea for how I would do things;

A 3 Falls Match against Roman

First fall is for the WWE title

Second fall is for the World Heavyweight title

Third fall is for the Universal title

Roman wins the first fall, with Seth winning the second, then Seth wins the third fall, thus becoming Universal champion along with World Heavyweight champion.

The titles are immediately merged for good with the titles carrying on the Universal lineage but maintains the World Heavyweight title belt.

Seth then drops the merged Universal title belt the next night to someone not named Roman Reigns.

This allows for there to be a maintained title lineage for when one of the belts is eventually retired...and eventually that will happen most likely to the World Heavyweight title...so why create a lineage that is going to be lost sooner than later?

[The Rick Jericho]

So he went over clean as a sheet on Drew.

It's almost been a 6 month run now.

Is this what we wanted and expected from Seth? A long title run that could hit Wrestlemania?

Or should this title have changed hands 1 or 2 times already to keep it fresh?

Better question - How many times has Seth main evented and how important does the title feel? Right now, what Seth has feels like not only a consolation prize, but the second most important title on Raw after the IC.

[KingPooper]

He should have lost it at Summerslam.

He should have lost it to Nikamura.

He should have lost it to Drew.

He main evented Payback and Fastlane actually

[UN PLOMBIER NIGHTMARE #blm]

I feel like there must be a middle ground for all of these long title runs and the seemingly instant push back of “hotshotting the title”. This shit is boring. We don’t need another title that is held onto for forever and there have been plenty of good candidates to take the title and wasn’t this dudes backussy all f***ed up?

Cmon man.
