Seth Rollins Turns Heel On WWE Raw
Former Universal Champion breaks bad after rah-rah speech on wrong.
Seth Rollins appeared to turn heel on last night's WWE Raw, making a new enemy in Kevin Owens in the process.
The show began with the former Universal Champion holding a "Town Hall Meeting" following Raw's disastrous performance at Survivor Series 2019 the night before. Rollins chastised roster member after roster member, prompting wrestlers to walk out on 'The Beast Slayer' one by one, with Seth coming off increasingly smarmy and self-important.
This rah-rah meeting then imploded when Kevin Owens, the last man left, downed Rollins after Seth questioned his loyalty and called him lazy, effectively setting up the main event.
Rollins vs. Owens then closed the show, but it came to a premature end as AOP (who returned to in-ring action earlier in the night) interfered on Seth's behalf, attacking KO, who was beaten down to "bullsh*t!" chants after the bell. Two Blackouts left Rollins ascendant as the credits hit the screen.
An extremely effective set of angles to turn Seth villainous and WWE deserve props for righting his course, as well as using his growing real-life resentment as part of a storyline. A great job from everyone involved.
