Credit to Seth Rollins, in today's WWE it is far from easy to be a likeable babyface. Not much has changed in Seth's character, and that only helps him. Only tweaking a few small parts of his act, Rollins hasn't simply become a smiling, happy-go-lucky face or heroic man of the people overnight.

Giving further praise, somehow Rollins was able to turn a throwaway joke into something memorable on Raw. Calling Chris Jericho 'Sparkle Crotch', the WWE Universal Title challenger managed to get the gag over with fans. Considering the hammy material some babyfaces are handed in WWE, that's a minor miracle in 2016.

Kevin Owens was up to his old tricks again shortly afterwards. When Rollins theorised that Jericho could also be called 'Sparkle Ass', Owens decided to inform Seth that his language was uncalled for on Monday Night Raw.

Brilliantly understanding the restrictions of the PG format, KO didn't use a microphone to shout, "You're not allowed to say that word". Some may have missed this entirely, it led to Rollins wearing a guilty expression that was just as satisfying.
