#4 Seth Rollins
When Seth Rollins debuted with The Shield, he was an unknown commodity to mainstream WWE fans. His past as Tyler Black in Ring of Honor was occasionally hinted at, but the focus was primarily on his new faction.
But as The Shield morphed from a heat-seeking trio to a group of next gen main event stars, fans began to see Rollins, the wrestler. He was the go-to performer of the group, the one that carried the match and sold for a bevy of WWE’s heavy hitters.
When The Shield disbanded, fans finally saw Rollins as the wrestler of the future. He became more than just a solid hand; he became the standard for The New Era. He was the example that everyone else followed, as his frenetic pace became the norm for the company.
He took an old school style and translated into a style that suited his strong points. While other Superstars attempt to match him move for move, Rollins has mastered his way of working in the ring. Though some fans have called him dangerous, the fact is that Seth has the respect of his peers, who are going through WWE’s evolution with him.
Rollins calls himself The Man in WWE, and with very good reason. He is the one that the company has invested in, because he has staying power, and because he’s one of the best on the roster.
While WWE booked Roman Reigns as the embattled champion that fought for respect, Rollins was instead entrusted with carrying the strap because he could make it work.The best part about Rollins is that he’s only going to get better, and his best years are ahead of him.
WWE belongs to him and The New Era, but he will surely be the one at the forefront of it all.
