4. Seth Rollins
I can’t help but feel that WWE is messing up a perfect opportunity to raise Seth’s profile tenfold this Wrestlemania season, but this isn’t such a bad situation.
He’s an amazingly sharp, grounded foil to Miz’s hogwash ways, as the Miz TV segment showed. And the match he put together with Finn Bálor was great, so it’s a good omen on what’s to come.
Not to mention that Seth continued showing that little scrappy, nasty side of his where he doesn’t mind getting a cheap shot in if it’ll give him an advantage. And we love him for it.

3. Finn Bálor
”Smilin’” Finn Bálor had a great outing this week. Maybe his participation in the Miz TV segment was a little cookie-cutter, but his performance against Seth Rollins was fantastic. The fact that he won is meaningful because, from the three guys involved in the IC Triple Threat, he’s the one who needs momentum most.
The fact that he interrupted Seth’s superplex-into-a-Falcon-Arrow is UNACCEPTABLE, THOUGH. But forgivable. You can’t stay angry at a man who smiles that much. Especially if he continues being an integral part of the buildup of this match.
Oh, and just before ending this, I gotta wonder if the Blue Gear is foreshadowing of the results of a possible upcoming superstar shakeup…
