The last four years have been an incredible journey for Seth Rollins, as 'The Architect' went from becoming the WWE Champion, to suffering a long-term injury, and now back as a major player on Monday Night Raw.
After the high of WrestleMania 31, Rollins missed the following year's event, as the high-flying superstar had to sit on the sidelines with an injury that ended his dream of maybe even entering WrestleMania as champion.
Ever since his face turn in 2016, Rollins never really took off as expected. Now known as 'The Kingslayer', Rollins was tipped to become one of the hottest babyfaces in the company, but for some reason that just did not work, as his short lived feud with Triple H could not put him completely over with the fans. His finisher was also taken away from him, as the Curb Stomp was deemed too dangerous to use.
The failed reunion of the Shield did little to help matters, as Dean Ambrose's unfortunate injury robbed the WWE Universe of the chance to see the Shield back in action for a prolonged period of time.

Something clicked though in 2018, with the gauntlet match on 19 February 2018 being a major turning point for Rollins. In what was the longest televised match in the history of Monday Night Raw, Rollins lasted an incredible 68 minutes out of the eventual 108 minutes that the match got.
That performance really got the WWE Universe behind Rollins, as the man suddenly got his mojo back. Rollins rode on this momentum all the way to WrestleMania, as he beat Balor and Miz to win his very first ever Intercontinental championship in what was an excellent storyline for the midcard title.
Rollins' speech the following night on Raw saw the superstar beaming from ear to ear, as the latest 'Grand Slam Champion' knew that he had rediscovered the magic that made him one of the biggest superstars in the company before his untimely injury. The fans had finally completely gotten behind the Kingslayer, and it was clear that Rollins had gotten his mojo back.
With the main event scene a little crowded on Raw, Rollins could move to Smackdown Live in the upcoming draft, where in he can truly explode into life and become the mega star that he seems destined to become at some point.
Watch out WWE Universe, Seth Rollins is finally back!
