5 Reasons why WWE teased a split between Seth Rollins and Murphy at Payback 2020

#4. To force Seth Rollins to add a new disciple

Seth Rollins has fallen short on numbers

There is absolutely no doubt about the fact that Murphy has been a loyal servant to Seth Rollins so far. The former WWE Cruiserweight Champion has taken multiple beatings for The Monday Night Messiah and has sacrificed himself on numerous occasions, for the greater good if you will.

However, WWE Payback didn't turn out the way, as Seth Rollins would've hoped for and following a mishap with Murphy, which eventually led to the latter being pinned in the match, The Monday Night Messiah could consider either replacing the former RAW Tag Team Champion as his prime disciple or even add a new member to his group to maintain balance to the faction.

In the past, Seth Rollins did have the likes of AoP and Austin Theory by his side, however, with Theory back in NXT and AoP dealing with injury issues, Rollins was left with Murphy, who mind you, has proved his worth to the former Universal Champion within these past few months. But given everything that went down at Payback, maybe this is Seth Rollins' turn to re-think his options once again.
