10 Biggest Stars Of Wrestling's Empty Arena Era (So Far)

In his Monday Night Messiah guise, Seth Rollins may not be hitting the right notes for every wrestling fan, but it's undeniable that he's one of the talents WWE is banking on to help carry Raw through this ongoing global situation.

Right now, it's a tall order to fill even an hour of a pro wrestling show, yet WWE finds itself with three hours of Raw each and every week. With a restricted talent roster at its disposal, the company has had to lean heavily on certain performers to make the weekly red brand offerings even remotely palatable. Granted, ratings have continuously tanked over the past several weeks, but Rollins is one of a select few who have managed to entertain on Raw.

Narratively speaking it makes little to no sense for Seth Rollins to be going after Drew McIntyre's WWE Championship - what, with Seth losing to Kevin Owens at WrestleMania 36 - but WWE has had to make the best of the cards they've been dealt right now. As such, it's the one-time Architect of the Shield who has the Scottish Psychopath in his sights.

From a character standpoint, the sheer amount of screen time given to Rollins recently has afforded him the opportunity to further flesh-out his Monday Night Messiah persona - and it's an opportunity that Seth is clearly grasping with two hands.
