#3 Seth Rollins crosses all lines at WWE Extreme Rules 2020

Soon after WrestleMania 36, Seth Rollins kicked off a feud with Rey Mysterio on WWE RAW. It started when Mysterio congratulated Seth Rollins on Becky Lynch's pregnancy, and Rollins wasn't too thrilled with the same. The feud continued for a while before the duo decided to end it once and for all, at the WWE Extreme Rules 2020 pay-per-view. For the first time in WWE history, we witnessed an 'Eye for an Eye' match, with the winner being the one who managed to pluck out the opponent's eye out of its socket.

Seth Rollins left Rey Mysterio without an eye at WWE Extreme Rules

At the event, Mysterio and Rollins had a hard-fought outing, and The Monday Night Messiah was doing everything in his power to win the match. Finally, Rollins forced Rey Mysterio's head onto the steel steps at ringside and didn't stop until Mysterio's eye popped out of its socket, in one of the most horrifying visuals in WWE history. Rollins won the match as a result. It was clear as day though that a fake eye had been used in the match, and there wasn't any CGI involved.

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.
