2. Seth Rollins Is 'The Man' For A Very Good Reason

If there's one reason to believe fully in what the Authority says about Seth Rollins, this is it.

Last Night, Rollins had to deal with not only John Cena in a tough, back-and-forth 15-minute contest, but he had to fight Sting immediately afterwards. Since WWE was on a tight schedule, they had to pack as much action as possible into both matches, which meant many high spots and painful maneuvers.

Rollins delivered these in spades during both matches, and made both of his opponents look outstanding in the process, especially Sting. Considering how well Rollins was selling during this match, and how much effort he put into making every move look painful and perfect, you’d forget that his opponent in the main event was 56-years-old.

Rollins also demonstrated that, like Cena, he can work multiple groups in a crowd to constantly get a reaction. He got both cheered and booed during both matches, and everything he did garnered a loud reaction, regardless of alignment. Such noise is extremely important, as it tells the people watching at home that ‘this guy gets such noticeable reactions that the crowd either loves him intensely or despises him, which means that he’s a big deal'.

Such is the truth of Seth Rollins at this time. He’s becoming a bigger draw for WWE with every passing day.
