10 Secret Times Wrestling TV Mirrored Real Life
8. Seth Rollins Alienates Everybody
Seth Rollins' post-Survivor Series heel turn was a fairly well arrived upon piece of business, all things considered. Or, at very least, it was better late than never.
An only-okay run as Universal Champion in 2019 hit the skids with a sizeable portion of the audience when Rollins hit "Send Tweet" on far more idle thoughts than he should have. Typically attempting to defend the company from (reasonable) criticism, his perception swung closer to bootlick than figurehead. His on-screen credibility was soon in tatters thanks to a wretched programme with The Fiend that concluded - as it had to - with Bray Wyatt's latest creation taking the title.
With the boos only growing louder and more disruptive, WWE actually did the right thing by everybody and followed the noise. Rollins riled up the Allstate Arena locals by wearing Chicago Bulls-inspired gear at the Thanksgiving Classic as captain of Team Raw, then formally made the heel switch the following night by complaining that all his colleagues had failed.
One by one, he was abandoned by the entire roster, following a similar trajectory to much of the audience since his euphoric WrestleMania 35 coronation.
