Seth's in a really interesting position right now.

This time last year people were BEGGING him to be the main guy on Raw. He wins the title at Mania, and after the feud with AJ he feuds with Corbin for months and then they botch the Becky stuff.

So surprise, the reactions aren't what they used to be right now. You combine that with some of the things he's said in interviews recently, going into Summeslam there's a good chance he'll be facing a very tepid reaction or at worst, getting booed.

I said months ago with AJ that he needed to change up his character, and he has. Now with Seth, if things keep going down this path, he might have to switch things up too.
 
Seth once again UpUpDownDown Champion!

He beat Corbin in the first round, then he beat both Styles and R Truth in the finals to be number one contender last night. Then he went out and beat Samoa Joe in a Arm Wrestling old classic video game. All of the matches were 2/3 falls. It was very entertaining and hell Becky was giving Rollins extra motivation. Could this be another sign of Seth being Seth Rollins 2 Belts after tomorrow night?

Possibly! I'm not going to make a guarantee like I did at WM, but the fact that a Rollins' chronicle documentary is airing tonight right after Takeover could be a good sign, as well. We shall see.
 
Thank fucking god for that. I didn't think I could handle another long Brock reign where we never see the title. Then again, Seth should never have lost it to begin with so things have been righted now :)

Now let's hope we get some good feuds going forward for him.

Not surprised. As I said, wasn't as confident as I was heading into WM, but thought it was at least 50/50 that Seth was winning tonight.

Helluva match, too. Definitely MOTN. I like how he had some boos at the start, and then won the fans over during the match. Good shit.

*Number of title wins in the OP updated.
 
Yeah I love that the win was clean, should shut those people up who complained about how he won at Mania.

I am currently rubbing it in the face of my friend who hates Seth lol, he thought that Seth cheated or had someone help him, so I gleefully got to tell him Seth did it on his own and didn't cheat and it was clean :D

I want to reiterate this, there has never been more pressure on Seth than there was tonight.

He had a cold build, a cold character, everyone against him for one reason or another. This had all the making of a disaster of a main event. And then he goes and has the performance of a lifetime.

That's when you know how good someone is. And I hope I never hear anyone again say "well his last reign was so bad." You try feuding with the goof they've made Corbin for the last 3 months and making that shit work. And I like Corbin, but that was destined to fail.
