10 Former Stars Current WWE Wrestlers Are Channelling

4. Seth Rollins / Shawn Michaels

Cruiserweight-sized wrestler with absurd physical gifts puts on "show-stopping" matches seemingly every single night. Does the comparison between Seth Rollins and Shawn Michaels exist much more past that at this point? No. Will the comparison become far more ingrained in time? Certainly. What Seth Rollins is missing is what Bret Hart gave Shawn Michaels. A similarly motivated (yet different) performer who could athletically (and personally) push him to the next level. Now is that performer going to be Sami Zayn or Finn Balor. Hoping for the former feels like a far more likely scenario to pan out as true.
