Seth Rollins is a name that has been synonymous with RAW for over half a decade. "The Architect" was RAW's first pick in the 2016 Draft and participated in the inaugural WWE Universal Championship match against Finn Balor at SummerSlam 2016, in a losing effort.

After Balor relinquished his title on the following RAW due to a legit shoulder injury sustained during the bout, WWE delivered as an unforgettable swerve. Triple H betrayed Rollins during the four-way elimination match for the vacant title, leading to Kevin Owen's coronation. Rollins ultimately turned face during late 2016 and after an entertaining build, his feud with Triple H concluded at Wrestlemania 33 in a non-sanctioned match.

Rollins embraced the "King Slayer" moniker after defeating "The Game" at 'Mania and would then reform the Shield at RAW with former stable-mate Dean Ambrose. He had his historical one-hour gauntlet match performance on the 19th February, 2018 episode of RAW and capped off the period with an WWE Intercontinental title win at 'Mania 34.

Seth would go onto have incredible matches night after night in his "Monday Night Rollins" run, wrestling some absolute belters, especially against Dolph Ziggler. His solid in-ring work was rewarded with a Royal Rumble win in 2019, followed by a well-deserved victory over Brock Lesnar at Wrestlemania 35 for his first Universal title. He would go on to beat "The Beast" a second time in the same year to cement his status as the "Beast Slayer".

Rollins was forced to revert to a heel after fans turned on him and has excelled in his "Monday Night Messiah" role ever since.
