When speaking about consistency, undoubtedly one of the best examples of this on the modern roster has been Seth Rollins.

Winning the inaugural NXT Championship set the tone for WWE developmental. Every future member of the NXT roster owes him a debt of gratitude for being so influential in those early years and allowing the brand to foster and flourish into what it has become today.

Upon joining the main roster, Rollins was instantly a prominent star as part of The Shield, which led directly into him being chosen as The Authority's golden child.

His turn on Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose, as well as his Money in the Bank cash-in at WrestleMania 31, continue to influence future events, so much so that it was a featured callback at WrestleMania XL. They are arguably nexus points in the WWE timeline, where if anything else would have happened, the whole landscape of the company would be different today.

Rollins also made history as the first to win this new incarnation of the World Heavyweight Championship, further cementing him an important player in paving the way for the future.

As The Architect turned Monday Night Messiah turned Visionary, Rollins' character evolves throughout the years and fluctuates between heel and face, depending on where he's needed, but he remains as steadfast a WWE supporter through and through, and his connection to the WWE Universe has made him one of the top names of this era.
