Seth Rollins wrestled his f*cking b*llocks off in 2018, and if that's not worthy of praise here, little else about the entire product could be.
'Monday Night Rollins' was a nickname devised to sell t-shirts, but instead became a rapidly realised philosophy as 'The Architect' embarked on a stellar singles run in the absence of Shield tag partner Dean Ambrose.
Rollins broke longevity records in an absorbing gauntlet match that took up the bulk of the February 19 Raw, then traded Intercontinental Title epics with The Miz and Dolph Ziggler.
After telling the world he wished to atone in the storylines with Triple H and Ambrose in 2017, Rollins showed the babyface fire in 2018 that could convince higher-ups of a potential topline return next year.
