The anticipated tag team match pitting The Rock and Roman Reigns vs. Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins is on the verge of being made official for WWE WrestleMania 40, but fans can't shake the feeling that Rollins and his World Heavyweight Championship are being overshadowed in this high-stakes storyline.

Rollins vs. Drew McIntyre for the prestigious prize is already set in stone for The Show of Shows, yet The Visionary's focus has primarily been on the ongoing animosity between Rhodes, Rock and Reigns since the Royal Rumble.

WWE's only option in establishing Rollins as the face of the flagship again is hitting the reset button with him as soon as possible.

Meanwhile, AEW is riding high coming off a critically-acclaimed Revolution pay-per-view that saw Sting close out his iconic career in phenomenal fashion and Samoa Joe narrowly escape still the AEW World champion.

The pieces are in place for an unpredictable and fun fallout period for the promotion in the weeks ahead.

This week's installment of Quick Takes will tackle how AEW handled Sting's last stand exceptionally well, WWE being more cautious with promoting talent to television prematurely, Raw and SmackDown finding a rhythm that works, and more.

WWE Must Hit Reset Button with Stagnant Seth Rollins Post-WrestleMania

Seth Rollins has been one of WWE's most valuable players for many years and has done an excellent job of holding down the fort on Raw as its World Heavyweight champion this past year.

The quality of his matches can never be called into question, whereas his on-screen persona has been a point of contention with a portion of the audience of late. For as much of a fan favorite he still is, there's simply nothing remotely interesting about his current character.

Rollins made the most of the time he spent on the sidelines injured by cutting captivating promos every week on Raw, promising Cody Rhodes that he'd be in his corner in his war with The Bloodline.

However, Drew McIntyre wasn't wrong when he said that Rollins should be more concerned with his World Heavyweight Championship heading into WrestleMania 40 than with SmackDown drama that, by getting involved, will only reinforce the notion that he's a background player.

Rollins is playing second fiddle behind Rhodes when he can easily be the focal point of his program. That shouldn't be intentional, either, as there's zero value in Rollins betraying Rhodes at 'Mania.

It's very possible The Visionary losing on back-to-back nights will be what causes him to finally switch things up and adopt a more serious approach full-time.

Raw and SmackDown Have Successfully Maintained Momentum Thus Far on Road to 'Mania

Oftentimes, WWE doesn't put forth the strongest effort en route to WrestleMania creatively, resulting in fans having tempered expectations for the event.

Not only has it been the exact opposite for this year's road to WrestleMania, but they've managed to maintain their momentum from week to week. It isn't uncommon for Raw to be the superior show over SmackDown during 'Mania season or vice versa, but there have been enough engaging angles to keep both brands worth tuning into regularly.

Of course, the aforementioned angle involving Rock, Reigns, Rhodes and Rollins has had a lot to do with that. Spreading out the newsworthy developments and not giving everything away immediately has left the audience hooked going into the next episode.

That's why their interactions with each other have wisely been limited: to make each edition of Raw and SmackDown must-see in its way.

The rest of the WrestleMania build has been kind to both brands between the Becky Lynch vs. Rhea Ripley rivalry, Drew McIntyre's outstanding arc, Gunther pursuing worthy challengers, faction warfare on Friday night, Damage CTRL's betrayal of Bayley, new names being called out, and more.

A month remains before 'Mania, but at the rate, everything is playing out, the blockbuster card is shaping up to be an all-timer.

Swerve Strickland's Time Is Still to Come as Samoa Joe Retaining Was Correct Call

With Sting's retirement taking center stage at AEW Revolution, crowning Swerve Strickland the new AEW World champion would have been the wrong outcome. A moment that monumental deserves its main-event spotlight and not to be overshadowed by anything else.

Strickland's stock has soared since his first win over Adam Page at WrestleDream last October, and to AEW's credit, they have followed up with him accordingly. Championship gold has eluded him thus far, but only temporarily.

His time will come (and soon), but it would have been booking malpractice to cut Samoa Joe's entertaining reign at two months long. His time on top has been a breath of fresh air and there's a lot left he can do in the role.

Waiting too long to make a main-event star of Strickland would be ill-advised, so it's imperative that AEW strike while the iron is hot with him before it's too late. Revolution would have been a fine place for it to happen, but next month's Dynasty event or Double or Nothing event in May would be more appropriate.

If the idea was that Page gave up to Joe solely so Strickland couldn't win, then AEW couldn't have orchestrated a more perfect finish.

WWE Should Be More Cautious About Exposing Inexperienced Talent on Television

A video that surfaced on social media last week of Maxxine Dupri getting booed by a handful of hecklers at a recent WWE live event made the rounds and received a mixed response from fans online.

Unless the chants are distasteful or disrespectful, cheering and jeering are part of the business, regardless of whether the wrestler is babyface or heel. Many Superstars including Rhea Ripley and Ivy Nile were quick to come to Dupri's defense and praise her progress, but lost in the conversation is the importance of WWE not rushing talent to television who aren't in-ring ready.

It's an issue that runs deeper than Dupri, who should be commended for improving and learning on the fly with millions watching worldwide. That doesn't make the company's decision to call her up prematurely any less debatable.

This is something that should be avoided with Jade Cargill, who reportedly has spent most of her time away from WWE TV training at the Performance Center. Unlike Dupri, she has the advantage of having competed for a few years on television before joining WWE, but she shouldn't be made a member of the Raw or SmackDown roster until it's determined she's ready for prime time.

The stars themselves shouldn't be the ones who suffer in the end and risk ruining their development by being rushed into a spot they're not yet fully prepared to be in.

AEW Nails Sting's Sendoff as Epitome of What Wrestling Retirements Should Be

Wrestling retirements have a tendency to be hit or miss, and if the latter, it's typically due to the wrestler retiring a lot later than they should have and not having enough left in the tank to put on one last performance they can be proud of.

Certain stars don't have the luxury of retiring on their terms as a result of injuries cutting their careers short.

From start to finish, Sting's swan song will go down as one of the best in the history of the business.

He's been booked practically perfectly his entire tenure with the company, but his final farewell at Revolution in particular was a spectacle in every sense. The pre-match video package, the entrance and the match itself all delivered in spades with an electric atmosphere in Greensboro, North Carolina to boot.

The Young Bucks proved to be fantastic foils for him and Sting scoring the submission victory for his team was merely the cherry on top, meaning he ends his career a champion.

AEW did Sting justice by giving him a sendoff worthy of his legendary status.
