3. Standing Up For Himself
This is how Seth Rollins should be acting and be booked all the time. Was the WWE World Heavyweight Champion in jeopardy against Demon Kane on Sunday? In a sense, yes, but he didnt show nearly the kind of fear and retreat that he had for the past five weeks, going straight at Kane and ultimately toppling the monster. Its such a juxtaposition between how Rollins was booked on Raw for weeks as a coward, and then at Hell in a Cell, he powerbombed Kane on the announce table, superkicked him twice, hit a Frog Splash and Pedigreed him to win clean. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YIZ5WknBHqk Probably the biggest criticism facing Rollins reign as champ has been how poorly hes been booked. Rollins has been portrayed as a cowardly heel who hides behind and is often belittled by his bosses, Triple H and Stephanie McMahon. If he went out and beat guys like he did with Kane Sunday night, people would be looking at his reign a lot differently. At least Seth took care of business at HIAC.
