8 Wrestlers Who DESTROYED Their Own Aura

7. Seth Rollins

It all ended for Seth Rollins because he legitimately believed that WWE Stomping Grounds 2019 was the "best pro wrestling on the planet".

Was it? Let's analyse.

Drew Gulak, Tony Nese, and Akira Tozawa - the very match which spurned Rollins' aura-destroying tweet - indeed was a match worth seeking out, but WWE's cruiserweight division was dead in the water. Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn wrestled a deft career-building tag team match vs. The New Day, but their alliance was dead - again - within the next month. Ricochet and Samoa Joe's United States Title match was a one-move match, Ricochet's 630 delivery seeing him bounce off the superheavyweight Samoan with the velocity of a hurricane-force wind. Roman Reigns vs. Drew McIntyre was a fierce, big-lads-getting-their-stuff-in clash of the titans.

Then, Seth Rollins' match stank.

The same man who had praised even the most basic of wrestling matches to an otherworldly level wrestled one of the worst matches of the decade. If WWE was that good, why would Seth need to maximise his Twitter character limit to say as such?

Or, perhaps, was he a fantasist who believed he could wrestle as good a match vs. Baron Corbin as Will Ospreay and Shingo Takagi had done the same month?
