UPS…

If you’re using a heat map to track Seth Rollins’ career, this might quite possibly the white-hottest he’d ever been. EVER.

Rollins stomped Mustafa Ali into the mat Monday night, then proceeded to say that if he couldn’t beat Logan Paul at WrestleMania 39, he’d be the joke. But he reassured fans he would triumph, and that the 75,000 in attendance would serenade Paul on his birthday, not with “Happy Birthday,” but with a rendition of the Visionary’s theme.

And then came the deafening a cappella version of Rollins’ song. The thing is, it’s not just Seth’s theme. Fans are genuinely up for him right now and fully behind him. Maybe that’s because Logan is so detestable. Maybe fans are finally appreciating Rollins for what he brings to the table.

Either way, Rollins is headed into Mania with a bunch of wind at his back. Win or lose, let’s hope WWE capitalizes on it.
