I often question why I watch RAW, especially since I am annoyed by most of the show, but what has really been annoying me is how much Seth Rollins has regressed.
The supposed architect of the Shield, and future of the WWE, put together the most ridiculous plan this past Monday night, then bragged about it, as if it was the greatest thing ever.
This whole storyline between him and Orton is an overbooked mess anyway and as anticlimactic as can be, but Rollins managed to make it worse.
With Randy Orton having already extracted the revenge he wanted the week prior, Seth kicks off the show looking no worse for wear after catching the beating of his life, and has the Authority apologize repeatedly in the long drawn opening segment, before Rollins goes against the grain and accepts Ortons mania challenge on 1 condition, with that condition being that he get his hands on Orton tonight.
As the night progresses we see a series of backstage segments where Auhtoriy members drop allegiance faster than a scalping retail worker keeps new merch off the shelves.
This all leads to the mainevent of the evening where Rollins comes out with a mic in hand cakeling like a clown about how Orton took 3 weeks to outsmart the Authority and it only took himself 3 hours to outsmart Orton and brings out the Authority in all their glory.
How in the freak did he outsmart Orton? I'm pretty sure Orton expected to be faced by all members of the Authority, which is why he set his plan to gain seperation into motion in the first place 4 weeks ago.
Not once did they play up that Orton was lulled into a false sense of security by the Authority abandoning Rollins. Was a character without conscience supposed to be unnerved by J & J leaving Rollins side? Better question is why does the WWE continue to insult the intelligence of the viewers?
So there you have it folks, Rollins has gone from masterminding one of the great factions in WWE's recent history, and orchestrating their demise, to putting together this pointless "ambush" that "only" took 3 hours.

The problem with Rollins right now is that Reigns is fighting Lesnar for the title and Rollins already fought Cena for way too long. Rollins needs something to do for Wrestlemania to hold him over until he can go for the title. This feud is basically filler.

So really you have a problem with WWE creative and their booking on Monday, which has nothing to do with Seth Rollins "regressing" at all...

Next week Rollins is gonna tie a bucket in the air with the MITB briefcase underneath. Once Orton goes to pick up the briefcase... hilarity will ensue.
No serious... Rollins is fine.

The only good thing about that segment was when sting appeared.
Also I really can't stand kane and big show in the authority. They're so slow and clumsy.
And imo big show looks totally board every week.

The guy put the Sheild together, and orchestrated their downfall to cash in and become the future of the WWE, both monumental feats, and now his big schemes involve pulling a 3 hour con on a guy that already knows he has the numbers game against him, and has no conscience. That's major digression if you ask me. |

the booking is atrocious, and this topic is about the character Seth Rollins regressing. If he is supposed to be booked as a scheming mastermind that put major crap together, then having him put Monday's plot together leads viewers to collectively scratch their collective heads.

That's major digression if you ask me. I get what you're saying, but you really just need to specify that you mean his character, which is dictated by WWE creative, and not actually Rollins himself, in what he's doing on the mic and in the ring, was my point. From a character standpoint, I sort of agree but as a heel, he's going to be a hypocrite and he's going to think even the most minute of achievements are the greatest feats in the world. I like what they did Monday. We assumed, not really but kayfabe, that Rollins over stepped his position, when in reality the Authority was still on the same page the entire time. This made Randy put his guard down, and led him to believe he had Rollins right where he wanted him. Rollins turning on the Shield was a big moment in WWE history. That's the kind of moment that makes the DVDs and gets shown 20 years from now. Not every feud out is going to feel like that or have that moment. A guy doing something less important doesn't mean he's regressed, especially if said guy ends up becoming WWE Champion with the Authority standing around him. |

They never played up the notion that Orton was lulled into a false sense of security by the Auhtoriy appearing, and Rollins did not exactly spring this surprise on him, he came out bragging about folling Orton, reveals the Authority and they methodically walk down the aisle, if Orton was legit concerned he would've hightailed it up the aisle. But I guess only heels do that.
The fact that Orton stayed in the ring waiting for them, shows he's not scared of the Authority and makes Seths plan seem pointless, which is a slap in the face of the viewers who had to sit through 3 hours of it.
Talk about telegraphing Stings arrival.

Seth Rollins is still the phenomenal performer that he has been for years. However, the booking and creative has handled the entire Rollins/Orton feud so poorly. Seth Rollins is still a top five all around performer in the company, and top three in ring wise. |

I didn't get that either and thought it was pretty stupid. However this is definitely not Rollins' fault.

Rollins is fine as a performer. It's the WWE that has regressed in storytelling.
