Page 2 - WWE Survivor Series 2020: 3 Superstars who flopped and 4 who impressed – Roman Reigns' cruel plan, Seth Rollins makes big mistake (Nov 22nd, 2020)

#3 Flopped at Survivor Series: Seth Rollins

Seth Rollins looked distracted the entire time

Seth Rollins was the first SmackDown Superstar to get eliminated from the traditional five-on-five Survivor Series match. It was also the most bizarre elimination in the entire night. Rollins first demanded Kevin Owens to tag him in the match. He then stepped inside the ring and immediately dropped down to his knees.

Rollins then went on to demand Sheamus to ‘do what he has to do’. The Celtic Warrior obliged and delivered a perfect Brogue Kick to take out Rollins. Sheamus then followed it up with a cover and eliminated Rollins via pinfall. This proved to be a huge disadvantage for the Blue brand at Survivor Series, and all its members were visibly agitated.

Seth Rollins is most likely going to take a paternity leave, but it was still a very weird way to write him off television. It would have made more sense to have him look like he sustained an injury during the match or was brutally attacked by one of his many, many enemies on the roster. Instead, WWE decided to make Rollins sacrifice himself at Survivor Series which ended up making him look extremely weak.
