Sure, he lost one title, but youve got to hand it to Seth Rollins for wrestling in back-to-back championship matches, and bringing the goods in both. Say what you will about whether hes had a strong world title reign, but Rollins has been gold in the ring, especially in big matches. Rollins traded major moves with John Cena in their United States Championship match, putting on their usual outstanding performance. His top rope floatover superplex into a vertical suplex was a thing of beauty. He then had to shrug off his loss to Cena and hold on against Sting, leading the part-timer through a main event match. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ks8m3b0xNeI And again, while Rollins often is considered a smarmy heel who escapes with his title intact, he went toe-to-toe with both men and pulled out a win in the main event to retain his WWE World Heavyweight Championship. Youve got to tip your cap to that.
