@Seth Freakin Rollins lmao why do you have to copy someones username and profile pic lol

[@BoneSoldier0]

He was great in 16 aswell

[@MrScotty2Hotty28]

It was the ACL injury that killed his momentum tbh. He had held the WWE Championship for over 200 days, and even though he was supposed to lose it to Roman Reigns at Survivor Series, it's hard to imagine a scenario where there isn't a Shield triple threat at Wrestlemania 32 for the Championship if Seth is healthy.

[@JungleBunkRootsMusic2022]

Seth rollins wrestling ability is great but I think his best quality is his ability to reinvent himself. Anytime his character gets stale he changes it up immediately and always delivers with whatever gimmick they give him. Shield seth, authority seth, babyface seth (before the tweets), messiah seth or the current seth we have now. He's one of the few "all rounders" left in wwe. He can wrestle well and has good character work

His authority days were by far, his best run in the company. His heel work was outstanding. He was on top of the world. Whilst Dean Ambrose & Roman Reigns were still in the slow process of an eventual main event push, he was already WWE and United States Champion, beating the likes of Orton, Cena, Kane and many more. I do miss 2017-2018 Rollins as well. I truly enjoyed his comeback and his main event run at the time.

[@lll.24601]

He is a icon. He had so much potential as a wrestler alongside Jon and Roman. These three were the future generation, and the way they paved the way for 1st gen NXT wrestlers to come through was powerful. I hope in the future he would be the next Triple H and become a manager. I just see so much in him as a manager.

[@kiimore7093]

his current character,"the drip lord", "the visionary" is one of the most serious characters evert

[@vbadger1056]

The social media stuff I don’t think effected Seth much considering his reactions didn’t change too much. Most of Seth’s social media stuff happened In June and July and it wasn’t till September and October when his reactions really changed. Seth to me got screwed by booking and wwe failing to build believable heels for him to face. Tbh Seth has been been screwed by wwe booking a lot but if there’s one thing we’ve learned about Seth it’s he might go down but he will not stay down. He can reinvent himself better then pretty much anyone in wrestling and he can get the stupidest stuff over. Seth reminds me a lot of Jericho in that regard.

[@liynne]

i think now since roman is such a good heel its the best time to transition him back to face. but make him badass tweener/face, bc you need that little bit of agression with heel roman.

[@dhenmarksandel1288]

[@killthepain2553]

[@joeysusner3824]

Seth Rollins career has great story telling, starts off in a destructive faction then betrays them for his own gain and joins the enemy. He gets his own way because the authority was behind his back and he sneaked his way into being champion. Sure he gets injured but he comes back to do what he does best but gets betrayed by his mentor who gave him everything. Then for the next 3 years he would right the wrongs and do things himself and become probably the top face in the wwe at that time

[@damoontroll2118]

Not every wrestler can be the “main guy” all the time. I think he’s spent enough time in the spotlight to prove that he can perform at that level for long periods of time if WWE wants that, but he also can exist comfortably in any level of promoting. He can feud with Lesnar for world championships, and he can feud with Rey Mysterio in mid-card bouts. I think he has a lot of world championships and big moments to experience still. I imagine he’ll win the Rumble sometime- he seems like the kind of guy to do that. No matter where he is I think he’s done enough that his career and his Kayfabe ability is protected.
