5 greatest moments in WWE Extreme Rules history

#2 Seth Rollins returns (2016)

Seth Rollins is the man.

2015 was Seth Rollins' year. He won the WWE World Heavyweight championship in the main event of WrestleMania without even being scheduled to be in the match. His reign did have lots of shady victories, but he was always entertaining.

Rollins made for one of the best WWE Champions in recent history. His fun title reign was brought to a screeching halt when his knee buckled during a live event in Dublin. He had to relinquish the title and was out for more than six months. This would eventually spark an inspiring comeback story, starting with a monumental return.

Roman Reigns, the main beneficiary of Rollins’ injury, had just retained the WWE title in a barn burner of an Extreme Rules match with AJ Styles at the 2016 event. It looked like no-one could stop him after the incredible close calls during the match.

But suddenly, Seth Rollins ran to the ring and Pedigreed Reigns to the absolute delight of the fans in attendance. This was an unreal moment and the crowd ate it up. The real champion had returned to take back the title he never lost.

The match they had at Money in the Bank was a classic as Rollins ground out the win over the Big Dog. However, the roles were reversed as Seth Rollins should have returned a babyface straight away like Triple H in 2002.

He was so hot at the time and WWE should have taken full advantage of it. His eventual face turn hurt him as it was not organic.

Rollins had been struggling for over a year as a babyface before finally finding his groove this year. From the excellent gauntlet match performance to the consistent Intercontinental Championship reign, Seth Rollins is now clearly the Man.
