Oh, we’ve been down this road before and it didn’t end well.

Seth Rollins is on a collision course at WrestleMania 35 to face Brock Lesnar for the Universal Championship. But rather than focus solely on that, WWE has added reason for Rollins to garner support from the fans. He’s now doing it for all of them.

Yep, Rollins has taken to asking fans for their support as he burns down Suplex City. It’s such a cliché thing that Paul Heyman began railing against it almost immediately. The entire escapade felt very forced and unnatural, as if Rollins was instructed to ask people to cheer him and boo Brock Lesnar.

But hey, now we know that Seth is here to answer our “thoughts & prayers.”
