6 Ups And 5 Downs From Last Night’s WWE Raw (April 6th)

6. Seth Rollins Is The Best At Everything

Anyone who heard the audience response to Seth Rollins winning the WWE World Championship at WrestleMania and the hero€™s welcome he received at the start of the following night€™s Raw is well aware that the crowd was happy to see him on top. But as a heel €“ and the best one in the business that€™s an active wrestler €“ his job is to silence those cheers and channel them back into boos. And that€™s exactly what he did at the beginning of Raw. The career path Rollins has taken over the last year, going from the guy many feared would be the odd man out once The Shield disbanded, to being the kayfabe and real future of the WWE has been a remarkable thing to witness. He€™s grown so much as a performer and it was never more evident than in the opening segment. Seth does slimy weasel so well that it€™s impossible not to get caught up in hating him. The way he drew heat from that crowd was brilliant and his jab at Kane for €œ€being there€ at WrestleMania was laugh-out-loud funny. He€™s a master at playing the entitled little brat and throwing tantrums when he doesn€™t get his way, but most importantly, every time he steps inside the ring for a match he delivers in spades. He€™s the perfect heel, and when he eventually turns face he€™ll be an even bigger star. Rollins is absolutely on fire right now and deserves the spot he€™s in.
