Just a day after SummerSlam 2015, WWE is already working on hyping up their next pay-per-view event, WWE Night of Champions. The wrestling network has announced its first confirmed match up for the event - Seth Rollins vs Sting.
After The Architect won at Sunday's WWE SummerSlam, Rollins is ready to defend both his titles.
Rollins won via pinfall against John Cena over the weekend, securing both the WWE World Heavyweight championship belt and the Unites States championship title. His win was questionable though, especially after Jon Stewart threw a chair at Cena causing The Champ to be pinned for three count.
Nonetheless, Rollins is now the legit champion and challengers will definitely want their hands on his belts. One WWE star who wants to fight Rollins for the Heavyweight Championship belt is Sting.
The Icon crashed Rollins' victory celebration at last night's Monday Night Raw episode, clearly showing his intent at winning the WWE World Heavyweight Championship belt.

"Rollins is a strong replacement and an in-ring foil befitting Sting's legendary status in the business. Plus, it continues the Sting vs. The Authority story arc that began at Survivor Series," Bleacher Report noted.
The Seth Rollins vs Sting match is the first confirmed fight for the WWE NoC line up.
WWE Night of Champions will happen on September 20, 2015 at the Toyota Center in Houston.
