today we’ll be taking a look at some interesting things going on with Seth Rollins and his
character right now
For the past few years, Seth Rollins was one of the top babyfaces on the roster
He was a main event talent and even defeated Brock Lesnar for the universal championship
Everything seemed to be going well for Seth until the Bray Wyatt feud happened
Seth lost the title to Bray Wyatt and as Seth even said himself, it was just all downhill
from there
Seth was still a babyface, but the live crowds started to turn on him and boo him
So WWE was forced to turn Seth Rollins heel.
Seth aligned himself with the A.O.P. and that’s when we got out first glimpse at the new heel
Seth Rollins
Seth Rollins referred to himself as the “Monday Night Messiah”.
He believed that he was Raw’s true leader and that everyone should follow him
Seth Rollins already had the A.O.P. and Murphy by his side.
so Seth really thought he had something special going on there
Remember on one episode of Raw, we even got a reveal of a heel referee that was also a
follower of Seth Rollins and his new group, so everything was running smoothly
We continued to get more of this normal heel Rollins until money in the bank
Seth Rollins had his eyes set on winning the WWE title from Drew McIntyre and really believed
that there wasn’t even a chance that he’ll lose that match against Drew
Well Seth did lose that match and that loss seemed to have sparked something within him
After the money in the bank match, Drew McIntyre gave props to Seth Rollins for really giving
it all he had and we even saw Seth and Drew shake hands at the end of the title match
Of course heels would never shake a babyface’s hand like that at all, so when we all saw
that handshake by Seth Rollins, we were wondering if we’ll be seeing babyface Seth Rollins
make his return
Turns out Seth’s current state could be way deeper than we all think
Let’s take a look at Seth Rollins overall appearance and behavior on the raw after money
in the bank.
Seth Rollins came out with the messy hair look and he was completely zoned out
A perfect comparison that comes to mind is Festus.
Festus was Luke Gallows’ first character in the WWE and to sum it up, festus was zoned
out at all times and didn’t react to anything, but once the bell rang, he swapped modes
That’s sort of what we saw with Seth Rollins, but it was something much different that triggered
him to swap modes
Seth came out on Raw, got on the apron and just stood there without moving a single muscle
and was just staring into the ground
It was originally a tag team match, but as the commentators pointed out, it was like
a 2 on 1 match for Murphy because he couldn’t tag in this spaced out version of Seth Rollins
Eventually Rey Mysterio gets a cheap hit on Rollins and this finally causes Seth Rollins
to snap out of it and finally show some signs of life, but the problem was that Seth snapped
harder than ever before
Seth Rollins completely took out Rey Mysterio by using that steel staircase on his face
and left Rey completely destroyed
The camera follows Seth Rollins up the ramp and he just had that look on his face tells
us that this was a new side to Seth Rollins and definitely not someone you would wanna
mess with
Here’s where things get a bit interesting and makes us really think.
WWE released a backstage segment where Rey Mysterio is the back getting medical attention
from WWE doctors.
Seth Rollins shows up and he’s acting completely different from how we last saw him in the
ring.
He sounded apologetic and looked like was there to really check on how Rey was doing.
Just telling by his tone of voice and how concerned Seth sounded, it really was like
babyface Seth Rollins was talking
He was acting nothing like the monster that we just saw take out Rey Mysterio at ringside,
so that brings us to this latest Seth Rollins theory
What if that money in the bank loss affected Seth so much that he’s suffering and dealing
with multiple personalities
In one episode of Raw alone, we really saw three sides of Seth Rollins.
We saw the zoned out muted version, then we saw the absolute monster version, then we
saw the calm and almost babyface-like version of Seth Rollins
So it’s very scary, yet really interesting for Seth’s character.
One thing that comes to mind was how Kane handled his multiple personalities gimmick
a while back
Dating back to a few years ago, Kane was dealing with multiple personalities as well.
Kane was playing the corporate Kane role which really was a nice and sweet guy to everyone,
even nice to his rivals.
But at the same time, Kane was instantly switching to his Monster side which was just vicious
and laid out everyone in sight, and when you confronted corporate Kane about Monster Kane’s
actions, Kane would say that he didn’t have any idea what you were talking about
It only lasted for a few weeks, but it was really interesting to see Kane work with two
personalities and constantly switch back and forth between the two

Let’s get back into the story
Nowadays, we do have Bray Wyatt who’s continuing to do the multiple personalities sort of thing
himself, so you really don’t wanna copy too much from bray and over do it, but it
does look like it’ll be interesting for Seth Rollins’ character
Remember that Seth Rollins also had a feud with The Fiend Bray Wyatt not too long ago
and WWE always promotes this idea that getting into the ring with the fiend will really change
you and take a toll on you
So are we finally seeing the effects of Seth Rollins just giving into that fiend influence?
That’s definitely an amazing theory as well.
Maybe this monster version of Seth Rollins is his “Fiend” persona and the babyface
Seth Rollins is his “Firefly Funhouse” persona, definitely looks like a possibility
for Seth Rollins
That’s just the theory that’s going around and really made this theory seem true was
once again that backstage segment with Seth Rollins going to see how Rey Mysterio was
doing
Seth just viciously destroyed Rey Mysterio during the match, but then he’s gonna go
check on him backstage and completely switch his tone to sound concern?
Something is definitely going on there because that just doesn’t add up and isn’t something
we’ll usually see
Some fans are a little iffy on this being what’s actually going on here because how
much it mirrors Bray Wyatt’s gimmick
However, Bray Wyatt and The Fiend are portrayed as two separate characters and that really
won’t be the case here for Seth Rollins.
Seth isn’t turning into a whole different character like the way Bray does, it looks
like Seth just has drastic mood and attitude changes.
So yeah, that could be similar to Bray Wyatt, but at the same time, it is a little different,
so it can still work
I personally love this theory and hope it’s true.
Before his heel turn, seth’s character kind of lost direction and purpose.
The heel turn definitely pushed Seth in the proper direction, but if he really adds this
mixed personality gimmick on top of everything then that’ll really send him over the top
His character will definitely be really interesting once again.
It’ll keep us guessing because we don’t know what version of Seth Rollins we’ll
be seeing week to week.
Will we see the messiah version of Seth Rollins, the kind Seth Rollins, or that monster version
of Seth Rollins that took out Rey Mysterio.
It opens up a lot of potential and is a breath of fresh air for Seth’s character
Maybe Seth just becomes so unstable that even superstars are scared because they don’t
know what side of Seth will confront them.
The possibilities are absolutely endless here.
So what caused this to happen to Seth Rollins?
I’m still sticking with the money in the bank match as being the reason behind this
attitude change.
Seth fully convinced himself that he was walking out of money in the bank as WWE Champion,
so when the reality hit him that he lost the match, he probably couldn’t handle it
But we’ll give it a few weeks to see what WWE does with Seth Rollins and then we’ll
revisit the story to see what has unfolded
What are your thoughts on the Seth Rollins mixed personalities theory?
