Now to 'The Man's other half.

Seth Rollins has been fortunate enough to find himself in some fantastic positions during his run as a WWE superstar.

He's had the backing of The Authority, reigned as a deliciously vile WWE Champion for a while and even garnered the support of the fans in his pursuit of Brock Lesnar's Universal Championship.

Yet, Rollins managed to lose all of that supportive momentum when he eventually regained his big red belt in the summer of 2019 and became an arrogant Twitter-obsessed shell of the performer we'd rooted for in the build-up to his crowning achievement.

Sh*t really hit the fan when Rollins was thrown into a feud with Bray Wyatt's 'The Fiend' and it became agonisingly clear just how much fans wanted to see the apparent heel take the babyface champion down a peg or two.

Wyatt eventually did and WWE was then forced to push Rollins down a different road in order to keep him away from the Roman Reigns/John Cena-esque reactions he had been eliciting from the capacity crowds in attendance.

Rollins' doomed babyface run is now dead and buried and it looks as though his new dastardly partnership with the AOP could have salvaged a character which had threatened to become unwatchable just a few months earlier.
