18 Most Underrated Storylines In WrestleMania History

11. Randy Orton Vs. Seth Rollins - WrestleMania 31

Seth Rollins turned his back on his Shield teammates in 2014 and immediately became the chosen one of The Authority. After winning Money in the Bank, he was destined to capture the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. This was all at the expense of Randy Orton, who had previously been considered Triple H and Stephanie McMahon's hand-picked champion. A loss to Daniel Bryan and the inability to regain the title, though, left him on the outside looking in as The Architect garnered more television time and attention from wrestling's most powerful couple. Frustrated and infuriated with Rollins, Orton attacked Rollins after a loss to his teammate, but found himself neutralized and Curb Stomped in November. Months later at Fastlane, he returned and unleashed hell on The Authority's Rollins, Kane and Big Show. A talk with Triple H led to The Viper apparently setting aside his differences for the sake of the faction, though. But it was all an act, as fans witnessed when Orton would give subtle winks to the camera or glares in the direction of Rollins. Finally, he snapped and attacked Rollins and soon thereafter a match was booked for WrestleMania. Jealousy fueled the story, somewhat odd considering that Orton was supposed to be the babyface, but the result was a strong match that ended with one of the most impressed RKOs ever witnessed.
