Hunter is not just some random heel manager. He's one of the top guys in WWE history. The story to me seems to be one of the father who has accomplished so much that the bar he set is almost too high to jump over. Seth had to slowly jump over each bar. At some point the father gets pissed that he's being passed and turns on him.
To me the angle has more legs if Rollins beats Sting clear AFTER already facing John Cena. I don't think Sting is the guy you want to go to the wall with and say Hunter can't beat. But if Rollins can cut a promo and say I beat Sting on my own and after fighting John Cena, that gives him his small notch on the belt over HHH. Its a subtle dig, but not strong enough to light the fuse to ignite the fight.
I don't think there's much chance Rollins drops the title to Sting. More likely is Sheamus walks out of Night of Champions with the belt. But my prediction is that happens in the Network Garden special.
Either way, the storyline is roughly the same. You just think it makes sense to have HHH JOB to Sting. I think that's a gross waste of a Hunter JOB. Hunter should be putting over Rollins at some point. That means more the stronger HHH is going into that match. Sting is irrelevant in the big picture.

Triple H is one of the biggest heels in WWE history. Seth Rollins is now meant to be in this position. Doesn't it bother anyone else that they keep calling Seth Rollins "The Future" whilst he's holding the motherfuckin' World Heavyweight Championship? It's like someone telling Mike Tyson he was going to be something...in 1990. Man, that Ronda Rousey might one day be a great fighter, mightn't she?
The father that accomplished so much via villainy, with an ungrateful son that is trying to overtake him by surpassing his achievements -- relying mainly on his ability to cheat and kick people when they are down. OK. Do you see a problem here?
WHO THE FUCK IS THE BABYFACE?!?!?!
I agree with you that the best booking for Night of Champions is to have Rollins beat Cena AND Sting. It'd be something less crushing for Sting if he had beaten Triple H at WrestleMania, but never mind. Rollins has then earned stripes. Those people that boo him in the crowd? Well, now they have to look at Rollins and say "Wow, he just beat two legends in one night. Two legends that can still go..." Well, one legend that can still go, and another that has lost his only WWE match.
Sheamus cashing it at the end of this with Triple H (who would be at ringside trying to help Rollins cheat -- which he rejects, because he now wants to earn his place) counting the fall would be logical. This means that Seth loses the WWE World Heavyweight Title, but still gets to use the US Title as "The Symbol of Excellence" as John Cena described it.
Seth has a reason to be mad at Triple H; and people have a reason to think that Triple H is jealous of Rollins. This would be obvious if Sting had beaten Triple H and Rollins had beaten Sting. It then looks something like this:
Seth Rollins > Sting > Triple H
It also makes Rollins the clear babyface based on ability and a rejection of the system that has breast-fed him for too long. But as it stands right now, Triple H is being set-up for the face turn, with Sting and Cena pretty much saying "You suck, Seth, and these guys are the lesser evils."
