#4 Seth Rollins compares bank accounts

Seth Rollins

There was a time when Seth Rollins was the most over babyface on the WWE roster. He won the Universal title at WrestleMania 35, and the fans couldn't be happier. Months later, Seth tweeted that WWE was the best pro-wrestling company on the planet, sometime around the WWE Stomping Grounds PPV. He also dubbed himself the best at what he does. Will Ospreay of NJPW objected to the tweet, kicking off a Twitter feud.

At one point, Osprey stated that he wrestled more matches than Rollins in 2019. The BeastSlayer responded with a tweet that compared bank accounts of both Superstars. The tweet garnered a major negative response from fans, and Rollins immediately turned into a controversial figure in the eyes of the WWE Universe. He apologized for his tweet later, but the damage was already done. Rollins began getting booed on WWE TV and on PPVs following the exchange, and it kept getting worse by the end of the year. WWE capitalized on the heat he was receiving, by turning him into a full-fledged heel following Survivor Series 2019.
