5. Delusional Rollins

Listening to Seth Rollins deliver one of his calm, yet unhinged, promos is pretty entertaining. He’s delusional, but just believable enough to make it work.

Rollins thanked Rey Mysterio for pulling him out of the depths and darkness of despair after his Money in the Bank loss to Drew McIntyre, noting that “what happened to Rey” has been described as both heinous and disgusting, and penance. But Seth called it “unfortunate,” a necessary sacrifice for the greater good.

Man, if he invests in a compound and starts buying firearms, the FBI better jump on this guy.

As has been said before, this is one of those character beats where you wish there was an audience to react to his ramblings, because it’s pretty spot-on.
