5 times current WWE Superstars have been called the world's best wrestler

#3. Seth Rollins - Carried WWE on his back in 2015

Seth Rollins as the WWE Champion in 2015

When asked about who the best WWE Superstar of 2015 was, the answer is clearly Seth Rollins. Few other wrestlers are even in the running, as he was the most-heavily featured star between April and November 2015.

2015 was a relatively weak year for WWE, and it didn't generate the level of excitement that fans usually hope for. This down year was a prelude to 2016, which many fans believe to be the best year of WWE's PG era.

But Rollins was the saving grace of Monday Night RAW and WWE in 2015. Although he was a heel, his impressive in-ring abilities stood out every single night. His remarkable run began with a spectacular showing at the 2015 Royal Rumble show. There, he delivered an astonishing performance in the WWE Championship match against Brock Lesnar and John Cena.

Throughout the year, Rollins was praised by fans and analysts alike. Although some would argue that Hiroshi Tanahashi and Kazuchika Okada from Japan were on a higher level, Rollins' in-ring skills were at an all-time high in WWE. It's easy to see why he was considered the best in the world in 2015, and he has maintained his exemplary work rate ever since.
