5. We Want Rollins

News broke yesterday that former WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins has been working out at the company's Performance Center in Orlando, meaning that he's getting close to a return. Though he's tentatively scheduled to come back on June 6, it is possible that he'll show up even sooner.

Fans in Greensboro were undoubtedly aware of the news, and hoping that they'd get to see "The Architect" make his triumphant return. There were several chants of "We want Rollins!" during the course of the show, including during the opening segment with AJ Styles and Roman Reigns. Reigns was already overwhelmingly booed by the crowd, and when he responded to their chants by telling them "Rollins isn't here," he didn't endear himself to them at all.

The chants sprung up again during the Usos-Anderson and Gallows match, and they were telling. Even though the Styles-Reigns feud is the hottest in the company, and the crowd was pro-Club and anti-Reigns and Usos all evening, they still took the time to cheer for Seth Rollins during the heated bout. One thing's for sure - Rollins is going to be a huge babyface upon his return. WWE would be wise to run with it.
