Describe Roll Sethings here.Colby Daniels Lopez (born May 28, 1986), is an American professional wrestler currently working for WWE under the name Seth Rollins since 2010.He debuted in 2003 for Scott County Wrestling as Gixx. He has previously worked in Ring of Honor (where he was a one-time World Heavyweight Champion and a two-time World Tag Team Champion with Jimmy Jacobs), Full Impact Pro (World Heavyweight Champion), Pro Wrestling Guerilla (World Tag Team Champion with Jimmy Jacobs), NWA Midwest (Tag Team Champion with Marek Brave), IWA Mid-South (Light Heavyweight Champion), Mr. Chainsaw Productions Wrestling (World Heavyweight Champion), Absolute Intense Wrestling (Intense Division Champion), All American Wrestling (Heavyweight Champion and Tag Team Champion with Brave and Jacobs, again) and various other independent promotions as Tyler Black.He began work as Rollins on the developmental grounds at FCW, where he was an FCW World Heavyweight Champion, a Tag Team Champion (with Richie Steamboat), and the inaugural and longest reigning FCW 15 Champion. After FCW became NXT, he became the inaugural NXT Champion. He was promoted to the WWE main roster as one-third of The Shield in late 2012. In June 2014, he betrayed the Shield to align with The Authority. In the fall of 2016, he turned face after being betrayed by Triple H. He returned to form as a heel in late 2019, portraying himself as a savior and Messiah for WWE, and gradually became a crowd favorite again in late 2022.In WWE, he is a two-time WWE Champion, a two-time Universal Champion, the inaugural World Heavyweight Champion, a six-time (Raw) Tag Team Champion (once with Roman Reigns, once with Jason Jordan, twice with Dean Ambrose, once with Braun Strowman, and once with Buddy Murphy), a two-time Intercontinental Champion, a two-time United States Champion, and a two-time Grand Slam Champion. He also won the Money in the Bank contract in 2014, Superstar of the Year Slammy Award in 2015, and the 2019 Men's Royal Rumble. He topped the Pro Wrestling Illustrated (PWI) 500 in 2015, 2019, and 2023, becoming only the second wrestler to ever do so three times, after John Cena.In real life, he is married to Becky Lynch. The two confirmed a relationship in May 2019 after months of speculation, and their first child, a daughter named Roux, was born on December 4, 2020.

Dirty Coward: During his alliance with the Authority, Rollins often had help from Kane and J&J security to either help him in a match or to beat up someone. In fact, if it not because of the Authority, Rollins' first World Championship reign would be short. However, the moment the person they jumped at begins to fight back, Rollins will be the first person to leave the ring, leaving his cohorts getting their assess kick.

Heroic BSoD: After Ambrose revealed his reasons for turning on him (ripping on Rollins for taking him for granted, coming to see The Shield as a Broken Pedestal), culminating in Ambrose taking his Shield vest, dousing it with gas, and tossing it into a barrel fire. When it was done, Rollins looked like he was about to cry — he didn't even bother trying to rebuff anything Ambrose said, and simply left the ring and returned to the locker rooms with red-rimmed eyes.

Darker and Edgier: His "Authority" heel run cast him as an opportunistic sycophant constantly slithering out of danger with help from his allies. And while certain moments betrayed a bit of a brutal streak in him, he never slid outright into sadism. By contrast, his Monday Night Messiah gimmick seems to take particular pleasure in physically and mentally torturing his opponents. Highlights(?) include: his sudden obsession with gouging out opponents' eyeballs, the absolute beating he and Murphy gave to Dominik Mysterio with kendo sticks, taunting Rey through the camera as he did it (this was after he successfully raked one of Rey's eyes out, sending him home temporarily), and even leaving Murphy to get the crap beaten out of him by the entire Mysterio family for failing him.

Does This Remind You of Anything?
 Seth Rollins (Wrestling) / int_14ed6ab7
comment
Does This Remind You of Anything?: Fitting with him being a Manchild, Rollins's run with The Authority is akin to a spoiled brat being given anything by his rich parents and having tough bodyguards to fight for him. His feud with Randy Orton, the Authority's first golden boy, is like an older and younger sibling conflict, after the younger child becomes their parents' new favourite. The storyline after Hunter betrayed him is also similar to said brat throwing a tantrum after his parents stop giving him what he wants, until one day he realizes he needs to grow up and become his own man in order to be truly fulfilled in life. The Authority storyline dying for good and Triple H occasionally allying with Rollins again after that can be considered the parents, especially the father, acknowledging that the brat has finally grown into a respectable adult.

comment
He began employing a lot of psychological warfare against Roman Reigns in the lead-up to their match at the 2022 Royal Rumble, which in and of itself is a rarity considering both men were heels at the time. Rollins realized that the Shield was still a point of weakness for Reigns, and he called on it in various promos, even going on to namedrop Jon Moxley (not Dean Ambrose) as someone who had to be the emotional bedrock of the Shield during their time together. He even added insult to injury by bringing back his old Shield persona during the match itself: dressing up in tactical gear, walking through the crowds and using their old theme music all to get into Roman's head. It worked to a degree; Seth did win the match... albeit by disqualification after Roman snapped, trapped him in a Guillotine Choke and refused to let go even after Rollins grabbed the ropes, preventing the title from changing hands.

Gone Horribly Right: Seth Rollins was stoked when he won the United States title from John Cena at SummerSlam in 2015, becoming a dual champion in the process. However, as Cena pointed out, the following pay-per-view event required all championships to be defended, which meant Rollins had to wrestle twice in one night.

comment
Mr. Fanservice: He was one of the foremost ones back in Ring of Honor and probably the most conventional one of The Shield and he kept the title upon joining The Authority. One starts to wonder if part of WWE's motivation behind the heel turn was to change his ring gear to something that involved tight latex and didn't include a shirt. Fellow female wrestlers in WWE weren't indifferent to this: Sasha Banks and Bayley once posted videos on social media of them ostensibly competing for his affections (which WWE.com described as them competing to be his "best friend", but looked more like schoolgirls competing for a crush), and during his and Becky Lynch's feud with Baron Corbin and Lacey Evans, Evans seemed to take an interest in Rollins, even if it was more of an excuse to mess with Lynch.

As he was the member of the Shield commonly treated as The Heart of the team and the one directly responsible for keeping the group together when Reigns and Ambrose were at each other's throats, he was in fact the first one to outright turn on the rest of the team.

The Rival: While Roman Reigns was definitely not on good terms with Rollins following the betrayal, their animosity and opposition to one another was far more competitive than personal in comparison to that between Ambrose and Rollins. Reigns had a far easier time teaming with Rollins again after he turned back face, even though the relationship remained somewhat uneasy.

comment
Reformed, but Rejected: While Roman has somewhat forgiven Rollins after his Face turn in late 2016, Ambrose surely hadn't. The two began an uneasy alliance on mid-2017 in which Rollins tried to convince Ambrose that he had changed, but Dean remained suspicious. It took weeks of on-and-off teaming and bickering before the two finally buried the hatchet and reunited as a team.

Genre Blindness: He seemed to lack an understanding about the fact that, especially in his particular line of work, double-crossing someone will lead to said person coming back to kick your ass. It didn't occur to him with Dean Ambrose, who spent the next several months making Rollins's life hell and repeatedly came back to feud with him over the next few years. Then he betrayed Randy Orton - which, given his resume and reputation for holding grudges, was an even worse idea. And just when you thought he'd learned his lesson, he betrayed Kane - because angering a seven foot psychopath who calls himself The Devil's Favourite Demon was sure to end well... Given his reaction to Triple H betraying him and costing him the Universal Championship, it also doesn't seem to have occurred to Seth that he could be the one getting double-crossed. Lampshaded by Orton in the midst of an absolutely brutal beatdown of Rollins once the Viper returned:

As soon as Triple H and Stephanie started putting him over as the company "standard-bearer" and the Authority's top priority, he wasted no time in curb-stomping Orton as soon as possible for his troubles. Rinse and repeat after Randy rebelled to attack him over it. Needless to say, when Orton returned, things went rather poorly for Seth. Proving he'd learned absolutely nothing from that, Rollins promptly betrayed Kane once he ceased being useful. Once Kane returned, that didn't go very well for Seth either. He had to get injured, return, fail to win the Universal title, be cast aside by Triple H and placed in the role of his previous victims, and then get injured again in order to finally learn his lesson and get over being this trope personified.

Evil Power Vacuum: His November 2015 injury could not have come at a worse time. With Sting, Randy Orton, and Daniel Bryan injured, and John Cena and Brock Lesnar on leave, his status as WWE World Heavyweight Champion meant he was the only bonafide main eventer they had for the rest of the year. With him gone and out until after WrestleMania season, the main event scene was all but destroyed as the company lacked both a top face and a top heel. As it turned out, his injury was the prelude to an epidemic that hit the company on every level — at one point, Dean Ambrose was literally the only active full-time main event-caliber talent in the entire main roster.

comment
Practically Joker: Seth's gimmicks, face and heel all the same, since the end of 2019 are considerably darker than his old Architect gimmick. While still acting like a Manchild, his new gimmicks are far more unhinged, flamboyantly dressed in brightly colored outfits, laughing like a maniac at times and savors in the chaos that he caused in his wake. During this period, he doesn't seem to care about winning titles and is more interested in getting under his enemies' skin. Case in point, his 2020 feud with the Mysterio Family has Seth trying to gouge Rey's eye out, beating Dominik to a pulp, and tormenting the women. Hilariously, Seth dresses as the Arthur Fleck version of the Joker during a promo for WrestleMania 39, and if his foes need easy verbal ammunition towards him, they'll generally call him a clown or even "a joker."

Was It Really Worth It?
 Seth Rollins (Wrestling) / int_2c27353f
comment
Was It Really Worth It?: Initially, he thought it was — Seth got everything he wanted when he became The Authority's golden boy. Became Mr. Money in the Bank thanks to Kane, cashed in to become WWE World Heavyweight Champion at WrestleMania despite Dean Ambrose's best efforts, beat John Cena at SummerSlam with minimal help to be the United States Champion at the same time, received constant praise from Triple H and Stephanie McMahon as the new cornerstone of WWE…but then he got injured, and was subsequently betrayed by Triple H and replaced with Kevin Owens not long after he came back, with absolutely no back up because he alienated most of the locker room, including his two closest friends/"brothers". While reflecting back at this, Seth realized that he got all his success by completely losing sight of the person he used to be, the person he really was, and alienating two of the most important people in his life. He soon came to the conclusion that no, it wasn't worth it. It wasn't worth it at all.

Ax-Crazy: On Raw's last episode for 2014, Rollins threatened to Curbstomp Edge onto his Money in the Bank briefcase, the same Edge who retired due to neck injuries, unless John Cena reinstated the Authority. Cena agreed to Rollins' demands, only for Rollins to try and Curbstomp Edge anyway. Shows flashes of this in his Monday Night Messiah gimmick, particularly in his feud with Rey Mysterio where he suddenly became obsessed with gouging enemies' eyes out.

Even Evil Has Standards: Back during the Age of the Fall days, Tyler Black and Joey Matthews were down for filming Jimmy Jacobs' stalking of his ex-girlfriend Lacey after she left Jimmy and the stable for Austin Aries... until Jimmy decided it was good idea to attack her with his favorite railroad spike. Black and Matthews immediately stopped the video, expressing they didn't sign up for this. Ultimately this would be the beginning of the end for Black and Jacobs' partnership.

Arch-Enemy: Being one of the most prolific indy wrestlers of the 2000s, Tyler Black has been around the block. However, his fiercest rival would probably have to be his former Age of the Fall stablemate Jimmy Jacobs, who eventually came to hate him so much that he willingly teamed up with Austin Aries, the guy who stole his girlfriend Lacey, just to get rid of him.

comment
The Worf Barrage: Not to say that the (Curb) Stomp was much more protected than other finishers to begin with, but hoo boy, Seth caught this big time when he went up against The Fiend. A move that's won Seth several championship titles was tanked by The Fiend no less than half a dozen times on two separate occasions. The first time, it took Seth squashing The Fiend's head with a sledgehammer to get a ref stoppagenote The Fiend still didn't stay down, by the way. The second time, eight Stompsnote plus at least one Pedigree and superkicking him into a pile of equipment that promptly exploded failed to get the job done, and Seth lost the match and his title.

Kick the Dog: While threatening to Curbstomp Edge in order paralyze or even kill him due to his pre-existing neck injuries (and taunting all the while that he wouldn't be able to hold his young daughter again), was definitely evil, it was evil with a purpose in it, since Rollins was doing it to force John Cena to bring back The Authority. Trying to break Edge's neck after Cena agrees, though, just goes to show what a cold-blooded monster Rollins is.

Batman Gambit

comment
Batman Gambit: He's nicknamed "The Architect" for good reason. He successfully pulled one of these off on his own stablemates. When the incessant bickering between Ambrose and Reigns threatened to tear The Shield apart, Rollins made a statement by leaving the ring during a six-man tag match, resulting in Reigns and Ambrose catching a serious beat-down from all three members of The Wyatt Family (although they didn't go down without a fight). Reigns and Ambrose called Rollins out on the following episode of SmackDown, and that was the payoff. Rollins made them realize that, to put it simply, they're The Shield, and it's obvious that Reigns and Ambrose can coexist when necessary (as they had each other's backs when Rollins abandoned them). He preached a surprisingly powerful sermon, basically telling Ambrose and Reigns to get their game together so The Shield can "Take this place back!" At one point during the promo, Rollins even refused to retaliate when Dean Ambrose punched him square in the mouth out of frustration — the implication was that Rollins letting Ambrose get the anger out of his system was worth it, since a fight between the two would accomplish nothing. In ''WrestleMania XL'' he promises to be Cody Rhodes Shield, and he meant that in the most literal way possible: for he comes dressed in the Shield attire to the Main Event of Night 2 and even uses the group's theme. This is also a huge Checkhovs Gun, because, Royal Rumble 2022, Roman completely lost it when he saw that attire. This makes so that Roman focuses on him in a crucial moment, by baiting him into taking revenge for the rupture of the group with a chair shot, which allows Cody to recover enough to counter Roman's Spear in a Cross Rhodes trinity, winning the match and the title.

comment
Curb-Stomp Battle: A literal instance of this trope if Rollins dominates a match. While he's hardly a weakling, his role as an arrogant Dirty Coward leads to him taking a few one-sided beatings at times. His match against Ambrose in Hell In the Cell was essentially a cathartic mauling until Wyatt intervened. He was on the receiving end during his match against Brock Lesnar at Battleground in 2015, and the only reason he kept the championship was because of The Undertaker's interference.

Power Stable: (in Ring of Honor, Full Impact Pro, Pro Wrestling Guerilla, and All American Wrestling): The Age of the Fall (as Tyler Black). (in WWE and NXT): The Shield, were made to serve as muscle for Triple H, Randy Orton and Stephanie McMahon, until they rebelled. After turning on the group in mid-2014, he rejoined The Authority. In late 2019 he allied with the Authors of Pain, Buddy Murphy and Austin Theory.

Manipulative Bastard: Is very good at twisting people's emotions to his advantage, whether it's worming his way into their hearts and making them trust and care about him, or deliberately playing on their anger with him to provoke and distract them long enough for them to lose a match. He is certainly not above manipulating his own team-mates to get them to play their parts in his plans, as seen when he manipulated Ambrose and Reigns—who had been on the verge of fighting and possibly destroying the Shield—by forcing them onto the same page by providing them with a common enemy: himself. He then persuaded them to let go of their issues with him and with each other in order to keep the Shield whole.

Bittersweet Ending: In Wrestlemania XL. He loses his title to Drew McIntyre during Night 2 after trying to help Cody win the grueling main event last night against Roman and The Rock but failing to succeed at that, leaving him battered for his own match. However, he still has the last laugh, for he manages to provoke Roman in going for him in a key spot of his match against Cody Rhodes, meaning the American Nightmare had enough time to recover and counter the Spear to win the match and the title. At the end of the day, he once more was the bane of Roman's life. Also, almost five minutes after winning the match, Drew subsequently loses his title because he taunted CM Punk, which led to Damian Priest cashing in and winning the title - in other words, Drew lost his title [[Irony because he kept obsessing over something else.]]

Worthy Opponent: Considers himself and Dean Ambrose to be "wrestling soulmates", as stated in The Destruction of The Shield DVD. This is especially apparent during their feud over the FCW 15 title, which is defended in fifteen minute iron man matches. They went the first two matches without falls, and the second match had five-minute overtime. Even their third match, which was thirty minutes, ended in a draw with two falls a piece, forcing them to go into sudden death overtime, which isn't really much of a victory for either man. That series of matches is considered to be among the best in the history of FCW prior to its repackaging as NXT, and really highlights their inability to have a bad match against each other.

Butt-Monkey: Courtesy of Dean Ambrose after Seth's betrayal of The Shield. For a taste of Dean's antics — he stole Seth's Money in the Bank briefcase (again), insinuated that Seth had something embarrassing stashed in there after rifling through it, and rigged it to explode green slime in Seth's face when Seth finally reclaimed it; Seth's flailing to get his slimed suit jacket off looked worryingly like a Villainous Breakdown. Finally, his briefcase suddenly started vibrating afterward in front of the rest of the shocked Authority, with the implication that it was a vibrator (though Seth insisted that it was an electric razor). Dean later said that he was deliberately aiming to humiliate Seth because he knew it was one of the worst things he can do to an egomaniac like Seth, but he still had no qualms about laying a beatdown on Seth whenever he felt like it. Becoming WWE World Heavyweight Champion did not help in the least. He may have won the title, but his life arguably got worse in the process, then being on the shitlist of practically every main-eventer on the show, including Randy Orton. Dean Ambrose stole the belt and hijacked it for at least a month (because he felt he had legitimately earned it). He had to defend the title against Brock Lesnar, without any aid from J&J and Kane thanks to Lesnar taking them out (plus his own deliberate Kick the Dog betrayal by attacking Kane's injury and making it worse). He subsequently got his ass kicked, and only The Undertaker's interference saved his title. When it seemed his fortunes are finally looking up and he became a dual champion by beating John Cena for the US title thanks to Jon Stewart (It Makes Sense in Context), Sting returned and set his eyes on the world title. Sting would go on to destroy a special statue the company made of Rollins and generally make his life hell. Then came Night of Champions, a show where every championship would be defended, meaning he would wrestle two matches in one night. To top it off, Sheamus all but stated that he would cash in his Money in the Bank contract that night after those two matches, meaning he potentially would have to wrestle three matches in one night. He ultimately lost the US title back to Cena, only beat Sting thanks to a lucky roll-up, and was saved from Sheamus when Kane returned with fire, brimstone, and mask to tombstone him. Kane being back was (of course) no reprieve, as he would terrorize Seth for weeks and nearly drag him to hell. Rollins would finally get past Kane, injuring himself and vacating the world championship in the process.

This may add a new element to the Wham Segment that was Rollins forcing the return of the Authority. By threatening to kill Edge in order to bring Triple H back to power, Seth proved that with the right situation and a single stroke of genius he can even hold his predecessors' futures at the soles of his feet—thus displaying his potential to eclipse both men's evil. Especially since, moments before his attack on Edge and Christian, he responded to Edge essentially calling him another wannabe, saying, "I don't need to be you, because I am better than you."

Guilt Complex: Even after Ambrose and Reigns seemingly forgave him, Rollins was never able to completely forgive himself for betraying them. This became evident in late 2018, the week after Ambrose made his Face–Heel Turn and turned on him. Rollins didn't hold it against Ambrose for betraying him, even admitting that some part of him even believed he deserved it. What he did hold against Ambrose was that he did it on the same night Reigns revealed to the world, including them, that he had leukemia and that it had returned.

By 2023, it's reached the point where crowds singing along with his music even after it stops has been known to derail segments on occasion.

Following his Heel–Face Turn after Triple H betrayed him, he very slowly transitioned from still being the same arrogant Manchild (but just against The Authority) to regaining the renegade sense of honor that defined his career prior to betraying the Shield, occasionally teaming with Reigns and even collaborating with Ambrose along the way. It culminated in his match against Triple H at WrestleMania 33, during which he wore a golden version of his outfit with various "singed-in" designs — including a shield with his logo inside it at the heart of the outfit, a deliberate homage that said yes, the Shield did matter to Seth Rollins.

Game-Breaking Injury
 Seth Rollins (Wrestling) / int_6381b11
comment
Game-Breaking Injury: Injured his knee at a house show in November of 2015, which forced him to vacate the WWE World Heavyweight championship, and put him on the shelf for the next 7 months. In 2023, WWE turned a real-life back injury he'd sustained (but had been able to work through) into this in storyline, with Shinsuke Nakamura turning heel and trying to capitalize on the injury to take Rollins's World Heavyweight Championship.

Villainous Friendship
 Seth Rollins (Wrestling) / int_63b12059
comment
Villainous Friendship: Seth appeared to have one with Dean and Roman during Shield's heel days that continued after the Shield turned face. The validity of their past friendship has been thrown into question by Seth's claims that they were just business-partners to him. That doesn't change all the times he's been seen risking his own neck to protect them and save them from opponents, working to keep the Shield intact and on-top, or celebrating victories with hugs and playful hair-tussles. Either that's just how Seth runs his business endeavors, he was a good actor deliberately playing the part of a friend to manipulate Dean and Roman, or he was lying when he said he never cared about them like they did him. As the years go on, it seemed he really was acting, but after Hunter betrayed him, it became clear he was just lying and that he genuinely did care for Dean and Roman. Tyler had this with Jimmy Jacobs back on the independent scene, between the Doin' It For Her tag team at Wrestling Society X and the Age of the Fall stable in Ring of Honor, before Jacobs turned on him as the end result of various issues between the two.

Heroic Sacrifice: How he fulfils his promise to be Cody's "shield" at WrestleMania XL. Seth shows up to the match in full Shield gear, mirroring his own match against Roman at the Royal Rumble two years prior. Once again, this puts Roman into a blood rage to where he opts to blast Seth with a steel chair instead of focusing on Cody, allowing Cody to take advantage of the distraction to win the day.

Secret Secret-Keeper: When Roman Reigns revealed he still hated Rollins for betraying Ambrose and him during their January 2022 feud, it was shocking to everyone... except Rollins himself, who admitted he knew all along Reigns never forgave him. It's not clear if Ambrose knew as well (since he left the company), but it does put a rather heartbreaking twist on the perception of all the Shield reunions after the stable's initial dissolution.

Cynicism Catalyst: The dissolution of The Shield proved to be this for Rollins in the long run. Rollins used the end of the stable to jumpstart his singles career in WWE by joining The Authority, and while he benefited for that for a while, it inevitably collapsed and he found himself stuck in the middle of a hostile locker room who hated him for his time in either one stable or the other, having throughly alienated the only two people who would've still had his back no matter what he done. This forced him to embark on a redemption run, which included reconciling with Ambrose and Reigns, which ultimately proved to be unsuccessful as well — Rollins was only able to truly reconcile with Ambrose, who left the company, and all his fan support fled him in the wake of the disastrous Hell in a Cell match he had against the Fiend in 2019. Having effectively lost everything, with one brother gone for good and the other secretly hating his guts, Rollins snapped and became a delusional Psychopathic Manchild with a messiah complex that is openly despised by just about every other member of the locker room.

Jerkass Has a Point: His assertion that the two remaining members of the Shield couldn't function together without him because of their differences in personality actually turned out to be completely true. Although Ambrose and Reigns are still allies and friends after a certain fashion, they quickly stopped teaming together directly after Seth turned on them. Reigns wasn't happy about the betrayal, but he decided the best way to go about foiling the Authority's plans was to swipe the WWE World Heavyweight Championship out from under their noses. Ambrose, on the other hand, took Seth's betrayal really personally.

Once Done, Never Forgotten
 Seth Rollins (Wrestling) / int_6e37c196
comment
Once Done, Never Forgotten: Played straight and defied. After the Shield reunited in 2018, in commentary, Corey Graves and Michael Cole believe that it's been far too long since Seth destroyed the Shield to continue holding it over Rollins' head. Dean Ambrose, however, refuse to trust Seth again after what he did. Roman Reigns was also resistant to Rollins' efforts, but since he (seemingly) never managed to find it in himself to hate Seth (at least, not like Dean did), they made up eventually. For that matter, Seth was unable to forgive himself for what he did until Roman and Dean did. It's played straight again during his 2022 feud with Reigns, where it was revealed that despite acting otherwise for years, Reigns was never able to forgive him for The Shield's break-up. It seems destroying the Shield will forever be the one thing that Seth will never be able to shake off.

My Greatest Failure: Though he never quite says it out loud, it's obvious that Rollins considers breaking up the Shield and allying with the Authority to be the biggest mistake of his life. Rollins was so desperate to make up for it that he was willing to let Ambrose hit him on the back with a steel chair at one point if it meant Ambrose would finally forgive him. Even years after the betrayal it still haunts him; when Ambrose turned on him in late 2018, it was obvious some part of Rollins felt like he deserved it.

Idiot Ball: Resulting in a hellacious beatdown, courtesy of Randy Orton. Seth Rollins - the Architect of the Shield, said to be second only to Triple H in shrewdness and intelligence - fell for the most transparent False Friend ploy imaginable. Everybody but Rollins saw it coming. It was strange to see the guy who's supposed to be one step ahead of everyone look like such a fool... or perhaps he wasn't a fool, as this may have been all part of his plan. To prevent Orton from attacking him during WrestleMania when he would cash in, it's possible that he purposefully let the Apex Predator exact his revenge on him when he returned so he can be satiated of his vengeful lust. Which also would explain that he let him win at WrestleMania, just so Orton didn't feel the need to interrupt Rollins' cash-in. It's very likely that he was all along, one step ahead.

Chronic Backstabbing Disorder
 Seth Rollins (Wrestling) / int_7c862b8a
comment
Chronic Backstabbing Disorder Betrays The Shield for The Authority. Wins Money in the Bank. Promptly starts making overtures to Randy Orton about how he wouldn't hesitate to cash in if Orton ever won again. Then, to top it all off, he tries to engineer a situation where Orton removes the "Lesnar problem" for Rollins and wears himself out doing so, giving Rollins the perfect opportunity to yank the championship. Hell, he almost explicitly said that he's much more interested in looking out for himself than for the Authority's interests, whatever those may be — during two separate villainous breakdowns, he claimed not to care about The Authority's opinion and also declared that he doesn't need The Authority (he apologized for both upon realizing what he had just said). As soon as Triple H and Stephanie started putting him over as the company "standard-bearer" and the Authority's top priority, he wasted no time in curb-stomping Orton as soon as possible for his troubles. Rinse and repeat after Randy rebelled to attack him over it. Needless to say, when Orton returned, things went rather poorly for Seth. Proving he'd learned absolutely nothing from that, Rollins promptly betrayed Kane once he ceased being useful. Once Kane returned, that didn't go very well for Seth either. He had to get injured, return, fail to win the Universal title, be cast aside by Triple H and placed in the role of his previous victims, and then get injured again in order to finally learn his lesson and get over being this trope personified.

Didn't Think This Through: Good news, Rollins, you finally got that pesky Dean Ambrose off of your back after Curb Stomping him through cinder blocks. The bad news? Now you've got the full attention of his friend and other former Shield mate, the more durable and destructive Roman Reigns. Have fun with that. By "generously" offering an open challenge at Night of Champions, he gave Dean Ambrose carte blanche to return and beat the crap out of Rollins. Then, later in the night, Rollins ends up costing John Cena his one and only rematch for the WWE World Title against Brock Lesnar for an (aborted) attempt at a cash-in, incurring not only Ambrose's wrath once again, but Cena's as well. Randy Orton even lampshaded this the following night on Raw, saying he, Kane and The Authority had to put out the proverbial fires Rollins ends up starting himself. On the August 3, 2015 episode of RAW, Rollins offered an open challenge for his WWE World Heavyweight Championship... to anyone shorter than 6 feet tall and under 200 pounds. He intended to challenge El Torito, a midget mascot of Los Matadores, but instead Neville came out since he fits the criteria of Rollins' challenge. Rollins was forced to go through with the match, although he came out victorious in a rare clean victory.

He tried to use this to his advantage at the 2020 Royal Rumble by bringing AOP and Buddy Murphy with him to the ring, but while they did thin the field a little, he still ended up getting eliminated because just because the men he had eliminated were out of the match didn't mean they were unaccounted for, and they dragged his entourage off with them to the locker room.

Laser-Guided Karma
 Seth Rollins (Wrestling) / int_90e31482
comment
Laser-Guided Karma: His November 2015 injury and relinquishment of the title could be seen as this, considering all the heinous things he's done since his Face–Heel Turn (including the manner in which he won the title in the first place) A more notable example was at Money in the Bank 2016. Rollins had won his first WWE World Heavyweight Championship by cashing in his contract at WrestleMania on a weakened Roman Reigns. Dean Ambrose does the exact same thing to win his first WWE World Heavyweight Championship after Rollins had just won it back after his return from injury. Not only is it karma for the aforementioned event, it's also karma for everything Rollins has done to his former brothers since the betrayal, particularly during his blood feud with Dean. Michael Cole fittingly called it "The Ultimate Payback". After two years being an Invincible Villain and an overall jerkass to everyone around him, karma finally caught up to Seth Rollins, especially after the 2016 Brand Extension. He went from failing to win the Universal Championship time after time, to being betrayed by the very man he betrayed the Shield for and was also banned from the 2017 Royal Rumble. Furthermore, until WrestleMania 33, Seth Rollins did not have the same winning edge he had during his initial singles run. He cashed in his Money in the Bank during Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar's WWE World Championship match and stole it from them in 2015. In 2019, Brock Lesnar would do the exact same to Seth Rollins, cashing in his Money in the Bank at Extreme Rules 2019 for the Universal Title.

Heel–Face Revolving Door

Heel–Face Revolving Door: Because NXT tapes 4 episodes in one sitting, this happened after Rollins debuted on the main roster as a heel but had several weeks of NXT shows where he was still a face.

Long-Haired Pretty Boy: Especially back in Ring of Honor when his beard was at Perma-Stubble length instead of Beard of Evil length, but he still qualifies. As noted in Mr. Fanservice, Seth is very good-looking — something that everyone has taken note of. His appearance on the third episode of the sixth season of WWE Tough Enough has one female contestant remarking how he's a "hottie", and Dean Ambrose has many nicknames for him mocking this — including calling him Justin Bieber.

False Friend
 Seth Rollins (Wrestling) / int_9b7de69c
comment
False Friend: Rollins tried really hard to invoke this regarding his feelings on his former Shield brethren during his heel run. They had declared themselves brothers and were often seen goofing off and treating each other with surprising affection, but Seth apparently never considered them anything more than his business-partners. Given that he and Ambrose did not exactly get off to the best start in FCW, even becoming professional Arch Enemies, it could've made sense. Seth may have wanted Dean on his team as a brawler he understood and could control, but if he never got over his old grudge, he would never be able to bring himself to honestly like Dean. If he was anticipating the Shield's eventual break-up (maybe even at his own hands) early enough, he might have avoided letting himself care about Roman, either. Ambrose and Reigns for their part were not pleased when they found out. Ambrose in particular made it his personal mission to beat the living hell out of Rollins. As evidenced following Triple H's betrayal of Seth, however, the truth holds that he was just bullshitting himself in order to feel semi-decent about his actions so he could ride on as The Man.

comment
Took a Level in Badass: Back when he was the Authority's golden boy, Rollins, while a powerful fighter in his own rights, often resorted into cheating and interferences to win his matches to the point the reason he kept his WWE World Heavyweight Championship at Battleground 2015 against Brock Lesnar was because of The Undertaker's interference. Come 2019, he came a long way and actually defeated both Brock Lesnar and Braun Strownman, two WrestlingMonsters, with a undefeatable streak and notably, became one of three wrestlers to defeat Brock Lesnar more than once.

 Seth Rollins (Wrestling) / int_9e10b88d
comment
Defeating the Undefeatable: While he did beat Brock Lesnar thrice (twice in singles matches), his first two wins are actually a case of Worf Had the Flu: In WrestleMania 31, he cashed in his MITB contract during Lesnar's first match against Reigns and took out both of them in their weakened state, pinning Reigns. Then in WrestleMania 35, Lesnar's attempted F5 ends with him being low-blowed by Rollins, costing him the Universal Title as a result. Played straight in SummerSlam 2019, where Rollins used his "architect" skills to maintain his offense against Lesnar and weakened him with suicide dives and superkicks for the clean pin.

Weak, but Skilled
 Seth Rollins (Wrestling) / int_9eb11fac
comment
Weak, but Skilled: He has less physical power to back his moves up than, say, Roman Reigns, but compensates by being very dexterous in the ring, making use of combat-rolls and other assorted acrobatics to stay out of reach of his opponent as he whittles them down. The commentators have taken to using words like "technician" and "mechanic" when describing Rollins' role in the Shield. Subverted somewhat in kayfabe and real life, both his SummerSlam match with John Cena and his crossfit records show that while not at monster levels he is in fact a very strong man in his own right. He's very cut (which was concealed and somewhat because of his strange ring gear) and is capable of hoisting guys the size of Roman Reigns up on his shoulders for several seconds when he performs his turnbuckle powerbomb.

Homage: After the Shield split and his singles run began, he started using Eddie Guerrero's "Three Amigos" triple vertical suplex sequence, until he was either told to stop or realized on his own that it might be a bad idea to use a signature move of a beloved performer who has been pretty much canonized while playing the role of "loathsome chickenshit heel". After his return from injury in mid-2016, he also started using the frog splash, with JBL acknowledging it on a few occasions as an Eddie move.

Finishing Move
 Seth Rollins (Wrestling) / int_a43a691b
comment
Finishing Move: His running/jumping Curb Stomp (previously known as the Blackout and Peace of Mind), not to be confused with the stationary version performed by others like Paul Burchill or Cheerleader Melissa. Tyler Black was known for a power bomb into the turn buckle (which is still a signature move of his as Seth Rollins) immediately followed by a super kick, a corkscrew 450º splash and a fisherman's buster into a small package he called "God's Last Gift" as well. After the Curb Stomp was banned from usage in the WWE post-WrestleMania 31, Seth began using various other moves for finishers, first a single-underhook DDT, then stealing Randy Orton's RKO at Extreme Rules, before eventually settling on Triple H's Pedigree as a tribute. At the April 24, 2017 episode of Raw, he replaced the Pedigree with a new ripcord kneestrike similar to the one Kenny Omega used against Kazuchika Okada at Wrestle Kingdom 11. This move, variously known as the King's Landing and the Revolution Knee, would end up downgraded to a signature once Rollins officially brought the Curb Stomp back. In the build-up of his Fight Pit Match against Matt Riddle at Extreme Rules 2022, he added a Peruvian Necktie to his finisher list, by choking out Rey Mysterio with it. He only used it twice, however (First is the beforementioned technical submission win against Rey, and the second is an attempt against Riddle at the Fight Pit Match itself, though the latter was able to reverse it).

Oh, Crap!
 Seth Rollins (Wrestling) / int_ad1db87c
comment
Oh, Crap!: Seth has some of the best facial expressions in wrestling, so this happens from time to time. He was terrified of Dean Ambrose (for good reason) when they were feuding. His face upon seeing Ambrose (who hadn't been seen since Rollins curbstomped his head through cinder blocks well over a month prior) jumping out of a cab and making a beeline straight for the ring was a textbook "Oh, dear God, anybody but him" expression. Also flashed a very quick one during an encounter with Roman Reigns that ending with Reigns chucking a cinder block at Rollins' head. Ditto when he kicked Brock Lesnar in the back of the head, only for it to do absolutely nothing except further piss off an already enraged Lesnar. The face he made when he found out Brock Lesnar was his next opponent at Battleground had this written all over it. A more light-hearted example came a few weeks after SummerSlam 2017, where, during a segment involving every major tag team on RAW, he realized the Club was about to call his tag team partner Dean Ambrose a nerd. He went from positively gleeful to absolutely horrified when Edge challenged him to a Hell in a Cell match at Crown Jewel 2021.

Ur-Example: In WWE's developmental, where he was the first FCW 15 Champion, the first FCW Grand Slam Champion,note Achieved by winning every men's title in FCW and the first NXT Champion. He also went on to be the first NXT Champion to win a WWE main roster championship (WWE Tag Team Championship). Hell in a Cell, where both him and Dean Ambrose were the first to have both opponents fall off the cell. Sure, Shawn Michaels, Mick Foley, Rikishi, Triple H and Kevin Owens have taken Cell falls, but this was the first time in history where both opponents fell at the same time. WrestleMania 31, where he cashed in his Money in the Bank contract on Brock Lesnar vs. Roman Reigns while the match was still going on and winning the championship. This bodyslammed the trope so many ways, being the first to: …cash in Money in the Bank at WrestleMania. …make a cash-in during the match and turn it into a Triple Threat. …make the champion (Lesnar) lose the belt indirectly by pinning the challenger (Reigns) instead. …transform the traditional main event into a different match outside what was advertised. …be the "3rd man" (i.e. not being a champion nor a Royal Rumble winner) to win it, while keeping traditional fashion (the yearly Money in the Bank). Daniel Bryan may have been the first to win it as the "3rd man", but Bryan won it in an unusual way by making demands to Triple H in a match and reinstate himself to the main event if he won due to massive popularity and major dissatisfaction from the Royal Rumble, especially when he was not part of it. …win the WWE World Heavyweight Championship and/or the main event of WrestleMania as an NXT alumnus and former NXT champion. …win the WWE World Heavyweight Championship and/or the main event of WrestleMania while being younger than WrestleMania itself. At SummerSlam he completely defied his usual Badass Decay fare for a night and defeated John Cena in a winner-take-all match to become the first ever WWE World Heavyweight and United States double champion. At Night of Champions (2023), he became the first ever World Heavyweight Champion.note This being the new World Heavyweight Championship introduced in 2023, sharing no lineage with any previous World Heavyweight Championships.

The Triple H comparisons seem even more fitting than they already are post-Curb Stomp ban with Seth eventually using the Pedigree as his finisher. Even after Triple H turned on him he continued to use the Pedigree which he stated in a Q&A was a Take That! towards Triple H, who himself is no stranger to holding grudges, and this lasted all the way up to their match at WrestleMania 33.

What Have I Become?: Whether face or heel, Tyler Black or Seth Rollins, at virtually any point in his career prior to June 2, 2014, he could best be described character-wise as a hard rebel with a purpose who usually knows very well what he's doing and how. His Authority run, on the other hand? Yeah — no. This is what he finally picked up on after getting injured again in 2017 prior to his WrestleMania match with Triple H; he liked who he used to be before he allowed Hunter to corrupt him and he wanted that person back.

Whole Costume Reference: Following his return from injury in 2016, Seth would periodically use his ring gear to make pop culture references. At SummerSlam 2016, he wore TRON: Legacy inspired gear. At WrestleMania 33, he wore gear inspired by Game of Thrones character Jamie Lannister, tying into Triple H’s "King of Kings" moniker and Lannister’s nickname of "Kingslayer". At SummerSlam 2017, he wore gear inspired by Deadpool’s costume. At WrestleMania 34, he wore gear inspired by Game of Thrones once again, this time based on the Night King. At SummerSlam 2018, he wore gear inspired by Thanos’ costume in Avengers: Infinity War. At Royal Rumble 2019, he wore gear inspired by the Chicago Bears uniforms. At Super ShowDown 2019, he wore gear inspired by The Avengers’ Quantum suits from Avengers: Endgame. At Extreme Rules 2019, he wore gear inspired by Wolverine’s costumes in the X-Men films. At Survivor Series 2019, he wore gear inspired by the Chicago Bulls uniforms, complete with the number "23" adorning his vest. At SummerSlam 2020, he wore gear inspired by Rey Mysterio’s attire for his match with Eddie Guerrero at WCW Halloween Havoc 1997, which was in turn inspired by The Phantom (1996). At Elimination Chamber 2022, he wore gear inspired by Michael Jackson’s costume from the "HIStory" tour. At Hell in a Cell 2022, he wore gear inspired by Dusty Rhodes’ polka dot adorned singlets from his 1980s run in the company. At Clash At The Castle 2022, he wore gear inspired by the devil costume worn by Taron Egerton's portrayal of Elton John in Rocket Man 2019. At Extreme Rules 2022, he wore gear inspired by Rob Van Dam's usual ring attire.

Morality Chain: Dean Ambrose. Both of Rollins' major heel runs coincided with Ambrose and him being on the outs — the first one because Rollins ended The Shield by betraying Ambrose and Roman Reigns for The Authority, and the second one because Ambrose left the company. When you combine that with the fact that Reigns never forgave Rollins despite acting otherwise for years, and the fact that Rollins had known that all along, it becomes even more obvious, as losing Ambrose meant Rollins lost the only real friend he had left in WWE.

Hell, he pretty much said at one point that if Randy Orton won the championship back, Seth wouldn't hesitate to cash in on him.

Genius Bruiser: In droves. His nickname as "The Architect" and at least one promo/interview referencing his strategy in regards to the Shield implies that he, not Ambrose as originally thought, was actually the primary brains behind their Art of War tactics. When the dissension between Ambrose and Reigns threatened to break up the team, he's the one who pulled a Rage Quit on them during their second match with the Wyatt Family—which may have seemed like just another nail in the Shield's coffin at the time, but was in fact done as a ploy to bring them back together.note The following SmackDown, Ambrose and Reigns were standing together and talking to each other like teammates with no hint of rivalry for the first time in months, united in the desire to confront Rollins for his actions. Having gotten them to agree on something as well as gained their attention at the same time, Seth proved his point about the two's issues, then got into a slapping and shoving contest with Dean (and a cameo from Roman) to get all the frustration out of their systems, then put it to them to either go their separate ways now or get it together. They chose the latter. This goes as far back as the backstory behind his Ring of Honor debut with the Age of the Fall group. Not only was it acknowledged by both Black and Jacobs that their conversations about the state of society leading to the decision to form the group was mutual, but Black was credited as being the man behind the entire "Project 161" blog campaign promoting the stable. This plot point would in fact be revisited as part of the backstory for the Shield, revealed as a result of the three talking together during their days at NXT and becoming disillusioned by the popularity contest-driven nature of the WWE machine. Suddenly his claims to have created the Shield are starting to gain weight. FCW briefly ran a storyline involving Paige as a mysterious stalker, also implied to be a hacker, with some interest in him which, if the promos Dusty Rhodes had Paige practicing for the gimmick are any indication, was planned to be romantic. She could be seen helping him out and standing up for him on several occasions. Just by how it sounds (and looks), this angle seems to have had potential for showing some of these chops for both characters—at least, had it not been dropped two to three weeks going in.

Precision F-Strike: A downplayed version (natural, given WWE's content rating, which has only ever gone as far as PG-13), as he felt the need to tell everyone that he is "Seth Freakin' Rollins" during one of his many tirades. However, this was seemingly mild enough that "Seth Freakin' Rollins" actually became one of his nicknames for a while, complete with t-shirt, before ultimately becoming his full ring name. Becomes an Atomic F-Bomb when Rollins directly yelled at Jason Jordan "son of a bitch". He got really emotional and hyped during the Shield's match at Fastlane 2019, promoted as the Shield's final match,note As Ambrose was announced to be leaving WWE. yelling at the climax of the match that they were going to do this "ONE LAST MOTHER-[BLEEP]ING TIME". The WWE censors managed to cut off half of it, but everyone knew what Rollins said. Ironically, he posted a message on his Instagram account in February 2019 which was properly related to Becky Lynch saying "Bullshit" on her Twitter account the previous day when describing the storyline she was in at the time.

For an example where Seth is the Berserk Button, Seth invoking The Shield serves as much for Roman Reigns. When they faced each other at the 2022 Royal Rumble, Reigns was pushed to the point of getting himself disqualified for refusing to break a submission hold on Rollins, who had invoked the Shield by wrestling in his tactical gear and recreating the trio's entrance on his way to the ring.

This came into play again in the lead-up to Battleground 2016 during a segment of the Ambrose Asylum. Seth went on to reminisce with Ambrose and Reigns about all the good times they had, coming off as very sincere, and even calling Roman "Uce." Of course, being the only heel in the ring, he tried to turn it around at the end by saying that his absolute favorite memory was betraying Roman and Dean.

True Companions: Subverted with Seth Rollins' relationship with Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns of the Shield in kayfabe; while the Shield was presented as a brotherhood and Ambrose and Reigns honestly considered Seth their brother, Seth himself only saw them only as business partners and was only too willing to "sever" their relationship when he believed it to be in his best interest. In Real Life, the trope is played straight with the friendship between Colby (Rollins), Jon (Ambrose), and Joe (Reigns). While Seth was pinning Roman to steal the world title at WrestleMania 31, Colby could be heard thanking Joe, which had to have meant a lot to the latter considering the circumstances which led to that decision. Same goes for Jimmy Jacobs for Tyler Black. During the course of their tag team/friendship, which spanned across various promotions, it was clear that the two respected and valued one another, until it eventually dissolved over competitive jealousy and other assorted BS like almost every other team in the history of the business has at some point. In real life, Chris (Jimmy) has been one of Colby's closest friends and truest supporters over the course of his entire career.

Bond Breaker: For The Shield. Rollins's decision to betray Ambrose and Reigns for The Authority left a scar on the team that never fully healed, even after his Heel–Face Turn. When it's all three of them together, things hold well enough, but losing just one member of the team immediately causes things to collapse. When Reigns had to go on break thanks to his leukemia's return, Ambrose snapped the same night and turned on Rollins, and it took Reigns's return a few months later to reunite the stable for its final run. Subsequently, after Ambrose left the company, Rollins and Reigns drifted apart and eventually both made a Face–Heel Turn. When they briefly feuded a few years later (still both heels), Reigns flat-out admitted he was never able to truly forgive Rollins for breaking the three of them up, something Rollins admitted he knew all along. It seems that even though the three of them may truly do still love each other, there's always going to be some kind of wedge or distance between them because of what Rollins did.

Roderick Strong, whom he had promised a title shot to before and never given one on one due to Austin Aries's rematch clause, beat him for the title to stop this from happening. As of June 2014, in WWE itself he gets chants of "You sold out!" since betraying The Shield to go back to The Authority. He claims that he bought in.

Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?: At the 2016 Money in the Bank pay per view, Seth Rollins handed Roman Reigns his first clean pinfall loss in a one-on-one match on the main roster. No outside interference, no sneak attacks, no MITB cash-ins, Rollins defeated Reigns all on his own. Yeah, he got a delayed kickout via ref bump at one point, but it still spent some time as the cleanest loss Roman Reigns has taken since 2012 in FCW when he was wrestling under the name Leakee. He defeated Brock Lesnar not once, but twice in one year. The first time at WrestleMania 35, where he beat him in him in less than 5 minutes, and the second time at SummerSlam, where he handed Lesnar one of his few clean losses since 2014.

Hoist by His Own Petard: During his Lumberjack Match against Dean Ambrose on SummerSlam 2014, Ambrose used Rollins' own Curb Stomp Finishing Move against him. A week after Curb Stomping Ambrose through a pile of cinder blocks, Rollins attempted the same on Reigns, only for it to backfire, barely dodging a cinder block chucked by Reigns at Seth's head. Ambrose himself was about to return the cinder block favor at Hell in a Cell, and would have followed through had Bray Wyatt not interfered. Weeks later, Ambrose came within a hair's width of returning the cinder block favor unless the Authority agreed to grant him a WWE World title match at Elimination Chamber. Bonus points because this is the same method Rollins used to force John Cena to bring back the Authority. And even after Triple H and Stephanie agreed to his demands, Ambrose still tried to drive Rollins' head through the cinder blocks, just like how Seth tried to kill Edge anyway.

Seth's feelings on his ex-teammates were implied to be a little more complicated than he asserted during one Raw. During a confrontation between Seth and Roman after Seth Curb Stomped Dean through cinder blocks and put him out of action, as Seth was retreating, Roman reportedly yelled, "You're no brother of mine!" Seth stopped dead in his tracks, looking shocked and even hurt. Guess he can dish it but he can't take it.

Battle Couple: With Becky Lynch in 2019, after WWE put their real life relationship onscreen. At the time the relationship started, they were the respective top male and female champions on RAW, and it was particularly played up at the Stomping Grounds PPV when Becky came out to beat up Lacey Evans (who she'd already defeated earlier in the night) after Baron Corbin enlisted her as a crooked surprise ref for his Universal Championship match against Seth (since unlike all the other heels Corbin had approached, Lacey was protected by Seth's refusal to hit a woman). As for Seth's refusal to hit a woman? Corbin has no such reservations. During Seth and Becky's winner-take-all tag match at Extreme Rules against Corbin and Lacey, Corbin attacked Becky with a devastating End of Days, then stopped to taunt Rollins and call him a piece of shit. Seth's response was to frantically beat the ever-loving shit out of Corbin with a kendo stick, a steel chair, and a series of Curb Stomps.

Went Crazy When They Left: Rollins' Sanity Slippage and Face–Heel Turn towards the end of 2019 was at least partially driven by the departure of his best friend Ambrose, who was apparently his Morality Chain.

Expy: He was often compared by fans (and even Jim Ross) to CM Punknote a fellow former Ring of Honor champion during his NXT run. There's even a bit of facial resemblance there. It's quite apt that when CM Punk guest-starred on the show, he would confront and eventually congratulate Rollins. More commonalities have shown up as his career has advanced, including: Going through an unhinged Dark Messiah phase, complete with Jesus hair and beard, preachy persona, and a number of 'disciples', and having a Real Life relationship with his own Distaff Counterpart in the company. He' also drew a number of comparisons to Jeff Hardy for his looks and willingness to take huge bumps. His original post-Shield attire uncannily resembled Masahiro Chono's classic ring gear. As a character, was very quickly moving into the territory of "The Game" Triple H and "The Ultimate Opportunist" Edge expy, in the sense that they're all long-haired men with talent and passion about what they do in the ring, but their biggest strength is their ruthless genius in manipulating others and stepping on anyone they need to to get to the top. Also, he's built leaner/smaller than Edge and relies less on grappling and straightforward fighting and more on speed, agility, and crash-and-dodge tactics in the ring—just as Edge did in comparison to Triple H. This may add a new element to the Wham Segment that was Rollins forcing the return of the Authority. By threatening to kill Edge in order to bring Triple H back to power, Seth proved that with the right situation and a single stroke of genius he can even hold his predecessors' futures at the soles of his feet—thus displaying his potential to eclipse both men's evil. Especially since, moments before his attack on Edge and Christian, he responded to Edge essentially calling him another wannabe, saying, "I don't need to be you, because I am better than you." The Edge comparisons seem especially fitting post-WrestleMania 31 where Seth totally pulled an Edge move with his Money in the Bank briefcase during the main event. Also, a careful listen to his entrance music after he betrayed the Shield reveals that it sounds somewhat similar to the theme Edge started using when he hit main event status. One's almost got to wonder if it was intentional. The Triple H comparisons seem even more fitting than they already are post-Curb Stomp ban with Seth eventually using the Pedigree as his finisher. Even after Triple H turned on him he continued to use the Pedigree which he stated in a Q&A was a Take That! towards Triple H, who himself is no stranger to holding grudges, and this lasted all the way up to their match at WrestleMania 33. Shawn Michaels (particularly the younger early 90s version) is a name that comes up lately when talking about Rollins. And while the comparison is probably overused and irritates some people, there are a few undeniable parallels: Similar build and in-ring style, workhorse reputation, as well as the out-of-ring tendency to get into a sticky situation or two, yet not suffer from Role-Ending Misdemeanor because WWE simply values him too much. This also may be the comparison that makes the most sense in storyline: of course Triple H as a mentor would seek to groom the guy from the new crop of stars that reminds him most of his best friend... In terms of outside-wrestling comparisons, numerous fans pointed out that, on top of adopting a very similar appearance, Seth bore more than a passing similarity to Joseph Seed during the Messiah phase of his most recent gimmick, as a dead-eyed, philosophizing, lunatic cult leader who viewed himself as some sort of prophet.

comment
Seth appeared to have one with Dean and Roman during Shield's heel days that continued after the Shield turned face. The validity of their past friendship has been thrown into question by Seth's claims that they were just business-partners to him. That doesn't change all the times he's been seen risking his own neck to protect them and save them from opponents, working to keep the Shield intact and on-top, or celebrating victories with hugs and playful hair-tussles. Either that's just how Seth runs his business endeavors, he was a good actor deliberately playing the part of a friend to manipulate Dean and Roman, or he was lying when he said he never cared about them like they did him. As the years go on, it seemed he really was acting, but after Hunter betrayed him, it became clear he was just lying and that he genuinely did care for Dean and Roman.

comment
It Meant Something to Me: Seth's feelings on his ex-teammates were implied to be a little more complicated than he asserted during one Raw. During a confrontation between Seth and Roman after Seth Curb Stomped Dean through cinder blocks and put him out of action, as Seth was retreating, Roman reportedly yelled, "You're no brother of mine!" Seth stopped dead in his tracks, looking shocked and even hurt. Guess he can dish it but he can't take it. It kicked in again at Payback 2015 when the three ex-Shield members and Randy Orton faced each other were in a four-way match for Seth's WWE title. When one thing led to another on the outside and the three had Orton surrounded, Seth was the one who called for them to put him through the table just like old times, and following the Triple Powerbomb he celebrated the moment as much as anyone, ended up putting his arms around Reigns and Ambrose and even called for their old fist pose before being reminded physically that (A) they were all still in a match and (B) that he'd long screwed this up. This came into play again in the lead-up to Battleground 2016 during a segment of the Ambrose Asylum. Seth went on to reminisce with Ambrose and Reigns about all the good times they had, coming off as very sincere, and even calling Roman "Uce." Of course, being the only heel in the ring, he tried to turn it around at the end by saying that his absolute favorite memory was betraying Roman and Dean. Following his Heel–Face Turn after Triple H betrayed him, he very slowly transitioned from still being the same arrogant Manchild (but just against The Authority) to regaining the renegade sense of honor that defined his career prior to betraying the Shield, occasionally teaming with Reigns and even collaborating with Ambrose along the way. It culminated in his match against Triple H at WrestleMania 33, during which he wore a golden version of his outfit with various "singed-in" designs — including a shield with his logo inside it at the heart of the outfit, a deliberate homage that said yes, the Shield did matter to Seth Rollins.

Cain and Abel: Him and Dean Ambrose were this for nearly the entire time they worked in the same company. Though they weren't really considered brothers until The Shield came onto the scene. They always ended up at odds with each other eventually switching between each brother role depending on which time they were feuding. After the initial shield split Seth was the Cain then after Ambrose snapped after Roman's announcement and attacked him he was the Abel.

His running/jumping Curb Stomp (previously known as the Blackout and Peace of Mind), not to be confused with the stationary version performed by others like Paul Burchill or Cheerleader Melissa. Tyler Black was known for a power bomb into the turn buckle (which is still a signature move of his as Seth Rollins) immediately followed by a super kick, a corkscrew 450º splash and a fisherman's buster into a small package he called "God's Last Gift" as well.

Easily Forgiven: Zigzagged with his former Shield stablemates. While Roman Reigns was willing to give Rollins a second chance when the latter turned face, Dean Ambrose still had not forgotten Rollins' earlier betrayal and continued to distrust him despite them both being faces. It wasn't until they teamed up to challenge Sheamus and Cesaro for the RAW Tag team titles in the build-up to Summerslam 2017 that they finally managed to reconcile, and even then it nearly imploded had Sheamus and Cesaro not stupidly decided to go out and attack them both. Later became subverted in 2022 with The Reveal that despite Reigns's honest and best efforts, he has never been able to forgive Rollins for what he did, and never will.

Complexity Addiction: Rollins' attempt to play mind games with Randy Orton ultimately was this. First he challenged Orton to a match, then he proceeded to have everybody in The Authority pretend to abandon him, only to have them show up to help him for the match and brag about how smart his plan was. The thing is: 1) He used The Reveal just to brag, rather than for tactical advantage, 2) the end result was no different than just showing up, meaning that everything he did was for his own sake, and 3) Orton told Rollins to his face that he knew it was a trap and was ready for this exact scenario. So Rollins ran an overly complicated scheme that accomplished nothing purely for himself.

Battle Strip: In a dark house match against Ambrose in June 2014, he lost his vest to Ambrose, who used it to beat him. Rollins regained the upper-hand, then took the initiative of taking off his own shirt... for no apparent reason. Well, besides the obvious. After transitioning to new ring gear, he routinely wore a special top or t-shirt down to the ring, which he would remove for matches.
