50 Best Wrestlers Of The 2020s (So Far)

50. Seth Rollins

Seth Rollins may never be the guy in WWE despite their latest attempts, but for much of the 2020s so far, he’s been the glue holding the main event scene together.

While he's never fully shaken the perception of being just short of the company’s absolute apex, he's repeatedly shown why he’s been trusted as a foundational piece of the product through multiple creative regimes. After spending much of 2021 and 2022 reinventing himself with a flamboyant 'Visionary' persona, Rollins turned style into substance with a string of excellent matches against the likes of Cody Rhodes, Edge, and Matt Riddle. His trilogy with Rhodes in particular re-established him as one of the best bell-to-bell workers on the roster.

2023 saw Rollins become the inaugural World Heavyweight Champion on Raw, carrying a “workhorse” title with pride in a clear effort to keep parity with Roman Reigns’ dominant Universal Championship reign. While many questioned the value of reintroducing secondary top title, Rollins’ output helped legitimise the belt - particularly through standout defences against Finn Bálor, Drew McIntyre, and Shinsuke Nakamura.

Even in a WWE environment filled with mega-pushes and long-term projects, Rollins has consistently been the one who adapts to whatever version of the company exists around him. He’s worked heel and babyface, comedy and serious, midcard to main event, and though his big-match/promo delivery isn’t as bulletproof as others, Rollins still has it in him to remind audiences exactly why he once felt like a generational talent.
