#1 Seth Rollins quits Twitter...then returns to Twitter

The past week has been a whirlwind week for WWE Universal Champion Seth Rollins on Twitter, as he quit Twitter for a brief period of time, only to return to the social media platform just days later.

It all began on September 26th, when Seth Rollins posted a Tweet commenting on his impending Universal title match against Rey Mysterio on RAW this week:

This is a match I’ve been looking forward to my entire life. The fact that I’m defending the Universal Title on the #RAW Season Premiere against @reymysterio in 2019 is mind boggling. Even 6 days out from #HIAC & @WWEBrayWyatt, I’ll empty the tank for one of the greatest ever. pic.twitter.com/VGfuBK4vUU

After the Tweet from Rollins, Sasha Banks trolled Becky Lynch's fiancee by posting the exact same Tweet, looking ahead to her match against Alexa Bliss on RAW this week:

This is a match I’ve been looking forward 2 my entire life. The fact that I’m wrestling 1/2 of the Tag Champs on the #RAW Season Premiere against @AlexaBliss_WWE in 2019 is mind boggling. Even 6days out from #HIAC & @BeckyLynchWWE I’ll empty the tank for one of the greatest ever. pic.twitter.com/p7yTusEFJ2

The Tweet did not sit well with Seth Rollins, as he subsequently lashed out at Sasha Banks on Twitter, only to delete the Tweet shortly after it was posted and leave social media altogether.

It remains unconfirmed whether or not Rollins removed his Tweet and deleted his Twitter account due to pressure from WWE officials, or if he just decided to do so as part of the ongoing storyline, but it was an interesting few days for The Kingslayer on social media, who was trolled pretty hard by his fiancee's nemesis, Sasha Banks. Rollins has since returned to Twitter, with his lone Tweet since leaving the platform reading, "I love football."
