7. Seth Rollins
Dean Ambrose seems to take more of the attention - but in my mind there is no doubt - Seth Rollins is the biggest talent in The Shield. His promo segments admittedly need work, but his in-ring mastery more than make up for that shortcoming. He is a true work engine in the ring, able to do just about anything. His key asset is probably his selling ability, he takes a great bump and really makes his opponent look good. His skill in enhancing talent makes him a valuable player within the WWE. He is vastly underrated when the wider media state Ambrose as the star of the Shield. In addition to taking moves better than anyone, he can also deliver his own exciting brand of attacks. He can work on the mat, power moves, submission wrestling and a range of brilliant high flying maneuvers. More often than not he is the star of The Shield's six man matches, for example Wrestlemania 29 or the clashes against the Rhodes family. Rollins was also the star of The Shield's victory of the tag team championships. His work in particular with Daniel Bryan is outstanding, the pair have a fantastic chemistry, and hopefully in the future get to clash in a major one on one program.
Highlight of the year: Work with Daniel Bryan
