When was the last time you saw a frogsplash three-quarters across the ring? The answer most likely would be “never.”

But Seth Rollins did it, defeating The Miz in a pretty competitive match that once again showcased how good Rollins really is in the ring. It was the kind of performance that he needed after losing at Elimination Chamber, which followed a hugely memorable turn in the gauntlet match last week.

It seems like Rollins is heading toward an Intercontinental Championship match at WrestleMania, which has to be a huge letdown from his previous two Manias – Money in the Bank cash-in and defeating Triple H. But with nothing else really on the horizon, the best he can hope for is to keep winning over fans and steal the show from the midcard.
