WWE News Round-up: Former champion leaves company, Why Sami Zayn dropped the IC Championship (17th May 2020)

A new direction for Seth Rollins’ character?

The ‘Monday Night Messiah’ character of Seth Rollins has sometimes felt like it doesn’t really fit the man portraying it. Earlier this week on WWE RAW, we saw Rollins destroy Rey Mysterio, sending the luchador eye-first into the steel steps. Rollins later sounded remorseful backstage.

Sportskeeda’s Tom Colohue commented on this on Dropkick DiSKussions and he felt that there was a chance that this segment was done to help Rollins turn babyface once again. Here’s what Tom had to say:

"When it comes to the Money in the Bank finish, I do think they are still going face despite what happened. The reason I think that is because Seth went to apologize after he injured Rey. I don't know whether this is going to be the whole Bray Wyatt/Fiend thing but he definitely had an out-of-body experience, attacked Rey as he did...but if he was a heel, he would not have apologized. So I'm not entirely sure which way they are going but they are keeping their options open."
