#4 Seth Rollins' character has taken a complete U-turn in WWE

Another WWE Superstar who has made a strong case for being the best heel in WWE right now is The Monday Night Messiah, Seth Rollins. Last year, Rollins was a babyface going into his SummerSlam 2019 match against Lesnar.

The crowd erupted in unison when he pinned Lesnar clean to capture the Universal title again. Soon after, the WWE Universe completely turned on him during his feud with The Fiend. Following Survivor Series, Rollins turned to the dark side again, and became a heel.

He went on to form his own faction with Murphy and AOP, and called himself The Monday Night Messiah. Over the past few weeks, Rollins' horrifying actions against Rey Mysterio and his son Dominik have proven that he is a strong contender for being the biggest heel on the WWE roster at the moment.

Rollins took out Mysterio's eye at WWE Extreme Rules, and delivered a vicious beating to Dominik on tonight's WWE RAW. It remains to be seen how Dominik fares against Rollins at SummerSlam.

He completed his MBA from the Symbiosis Institute of Telecom Management in 2016 and worked with multiple banking institutions, including Tech Mahindra. While he started writing WWE articles for Sportskeeda in 2019 as a hobby, it eventually became a significant part of his professional journey.

Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.

He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
