The Crossfit Jesus, the Architect, Tyler Black, or just plain Seth Rollins. It doesn't matter what you call him, the man will consistently put on stellar performances and always brings a lot of intensity to the ring.

Now standing all alone due to the Shield crumbling around him, Seth has made major inroads to recovering his career from the slump he suffered at the end of last year. But how did he fare on our grading scale?

Win/Loss Record: Sitting at 40 wins with 19 losses, Seth is above average. Grade: B

Championships: Seth won the Intercontinental title at Wrestlemania 34, and had an impressive run. He also held the Raw world tag team titles with Dean Ambrose. Not bad, but no big belts to his credit hurts his score: Grade: B

Industry Impact: Seth Rollins's cardio enthused style has become a gold standard for people who want to blend the independent and WWE wrestling paradigms. However, he's not as influential as others like AJ Styles. Grade: B

Popularity: Seth is over with the WWE Universe, but not as much as the promotion might like. Grade: B

Overall Grade: B Seth Rollins had an above average year, but it still feels like he's not living up to his full potential.
