Seth Rollins
At first it seemed like “Monday Night Rollins” was just another attempt at an overused play on words. Thankfully, Seth Rollins has not only made that the truth, but he’s made it clear that he’s going to use every moment on camera to give fans the best in-ring action possible – and that’s just what Rollins has done.
You’d be hard pressed to find a wrestler on the WWE roster that is having better matches than Seth Rollins. What’s even more amazing is that he’s doing it with each and every person he’s placed against. If you weren’t sold on Rollins this year, the gauntlet match that occurred in February leading into WrestleMania was enough to end the debate. But from that point forward, Rollins continues to try and one up himself, both on regular TV and PPV. Look at his match with Mojo Rawley a few weeks back. Rawley hasn’t done much of anything during his WWE run, but his match with Rollins immediately became his best offering in professional wrestling to date. That’s what Rollins does: he elevates everyone that’s in the ring with him, even if they are already a great talent like Finn Balor.
While the Intercontential Title was already a prestigious title, Rollins has made it the most important belt in the WWE. Brock Lesnar may be the Universal Champion, but his absence is drawing the ire of many fans and media experts. However, even if he was there week in and week out, it’s hard to imagine Lesnar being able to outshine what Rollins is doing in the ring every week.
