It's not a headline many would write about Seth Rollins' 2019, and that's despite the fact that he was able to win the Royal Rumble, defeat Brock Lesnar at two of the biggest pay-per-views of the year and settle into blissful romantic life with Becky Lynch.

Such was the hand dealt to 'The Beastslayer'. Or specifically, how he used that hand to say some really stupid f*cking sh*t on Twitter. Alienating himself to so many while still trying to hold down a spot as the top babyface, the remainder of Rollins' free-falling momentum was crushed to dust during his disastrous series with The Fiend.

A post-Survivor Series heel turn was a necessity more than an option, though Rollins had by then done the hard yards that'd make him the company's most successful star that year. With 115 wins amassed over two runs as Universal Champion and some strong booking to close the calendar year, all looked rosy...when he wasn't looking at the replies.
