12 Ups And 16 Downs For WWE In 2018
7. Rollins Shines In The Ring
One of the biggest in-ring stars of the year has to be Seth Rollins, who turned in a memorable performance early in the year in a gauntlet match on Raw and didn’t look back.
Rollins held the Intercontinental Championship throughout a good part of 2018, regularly having good-to-great matches with a variety of opponents. He was on a roll for a while, with notable matches against Finn Balor, The Miz, Drew McIntyre, Dolph Ziggler and Kevin Owens. That says nothing about his tag team bouts alongside Jason Jordan, Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose.
Or course, Rollins’ 2018 ended on a down note, with his TLC PPV match against Ambrose being widely panned after such high expectations. But for the majority of the year, Seth’s in-ring performance was a bright spot.
If he is indeed the guy in 2019, odds are we’ll have some really good matches at the top of the card.
