Seth Rollins was the most over babyface in WWE earlier this year. He went on to defeat Brock Lesnar in the opening match of WrestleMania 35 to win the Universal title. Rollins was soon paired up with real-life partner Becky Lynch and was put into a feud with Baron Corbin of all people.
Rollins' character has gotten bland over the past few weeks. His comments on Twitter declaring that WWE "is the best pro-wrestling in the world" didn't go well with the majority of fans, plus his shot at NJPW star Will Ospreay hurt his reputation among the WWE Universe. On this week's Raw, Rollins suffered another beatdown at the hands of Lesnar and was met with "what?" chants as he cut a promo after Brock left. Don't be surprised if the Toronto fans take these incidents into account and shower Rollins with the biggest negative reaction of his career.

He completed his MBA from the Symbiosis Institute of Telecom Management in 2016 and worked with multiple banking institutions, including Tech Mahindra. While he started writing WWE articles for Sportskeeda in 2019 as a hobby, it eventually became a significant part of his professional journey.
Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.
He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.
Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
