Early in the Randy Orton-Seth Rollins match, the announcers commented that Orton was in the prime of his career. It might seem like Orton has been around forever, but he only turns 35 this week, so the announcers arent blowing smoke. In recent months, Rollins has showed that he is one of the biggest stars of WWEs future. Hes proven himself in main event matches over and over. He easily has been one of the brightest spots during a somewhat dark time. When the Authority refers to Rollins as the future, that also isnt hyperbole. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3QBwXS5lxeU The two had an awesome match at WrestleMania. Orton showed that the teacher can top the student, suckering Rollins into going for a curbstomp, only to pop him up into a vicious, eye-catching RKO. Some might argue that Rollins should have won, but you cant argue with how the wily veteran used a little trickery to beat the young lion. Rollins will have his day and probably sometime pretty soon but Orton was the better man this day.
