As Dean Ambrose’s trajectory continues downward, Seth Rollins’ continues to climb.

Rollins discussed his childhood dream – pointing at the WrestleMania sign and then main-eventing there – and discussed the choice he had to make. Enter Triple H, who got a little emotional, applauded Rollins and then said he needed to know who’s a** he was going to kick at Mania.

It’s good to see that fire from Rollins, which carried over into his match with Dean Ambrose, which he won cleanly. That opener helped galvanize Rollins to the fans, which is what was needed at this stage.
