10 WWE Wrestlers Who Told You They Were Pissed

5. Seth Rollins Tweets About Brock Lesnar

Seth Rollins is enjoying a fantastic 2021.

The fans are rewarding his work, too. Three years after they rejected his desperate identity crisis - he was trying to do room-owning Rock promos and Steve Austin-style backstage assaults within the same month - they are now singing his theme and making elusive, loud noise even for his random unannounced TV bouts.

His form is unreal. The three Cody matches in particular were fantastic; even before the seminal Hell In A Cell blow-off, a gimmick match overflowing with as much heart as thought, Cody and Seth worked two wonderfully minimalist matches that exposed many awful takes in retrospect. Cody didn't need blood nor fire to get over. He didn't even need to get dumped on his head; the craft was so exquisite that they didn't need many modern trappings.

It's Seth's year. Never the strongest TV draw, he has featured more prominently than most in a year that has performed tremendously, by modern standards, in the Nielsens.

It's his year, and looking at his Twitter activity, he knows it. He reacted to the news of the 48th Brock Lesnar Vs. Roman Reigns match by tweeting a face-palm emoji out of context.

What more do I need to do? he seemed to ask.
