For years, Seth Rollins was referred to as “CrossFit Jesus” for his dedication to his workout routine.

But now, Rollins has turned his “locker room leader” persona as a two-time WWE Universal Champion into something much more useful. Monday, Seth insisted to Kevin Owens that he didn’t choose to be a villain, but it was forced upon him by KO and others who thought they knew better than him. He declared that he was sacrificing himself for the good of the Raw roster and the program. He even called himself a messiah.

Is it over the top? Hell yes. Is it what he needs to do? Absolutely. Rollins’ delusions are full-born now, so it’s only fitting that he take it to the next level of deifying himself. It’ll be interesting to see where he goes in 2020.
