Since turning heel and taking this new Monday Night Messiah gimmick, how does everyone feel about Rollins now? I personally think it suits him PERFECTLY! Love seeing him as the leader of a stable. Wouldn’t mind seeing the WWE title back on him at all!

Still not a fan, his best work is still the cowardly heel he was whilst in The Authority IMO.

It’s kinda weird because he seems more natural, his stable is elevating fresh guys, and in theory the storyline and gimmick are good. But for some reason it’s just very “meh” and I can’t figure out why I’m not invested in it.
My thought is it might be because he doesn’t have a strong foil or because there’s no singles title involved so Rollins doesn’t really need protection and goons.

I liked him as lead raw baby face, just didn’t like his feuds or booking. Wish his stable had a name now tho

I’ve always been a fan of Seth. the current direction of his character isn’t bad, it’s just a played out dynamic. nothing significantly separates them from any other number of factions thrown together in the past. but Seth nails the role.

I still don't see him as the guy, not that I'm supposed to currently. But something about him with a crap eating grin on his face, flanked by goons fits him much better than the dude bro he was.

I’m glad he’s back to at least one glove. I hate those stupid shoestring cuffs he wore THAT NEVER STAYED ON.

Seth was born to be a heel and this proves it. He's always been a joy to watch in the ring, but since turning heel his mic work and whole persona has vastly improved.
I just wish his stable would get a name and their own entrance theme.

I have always been a fan of Seth Rollins, so whatever he does I will back him up on!

It salvaged him in my opinion. His social media presence and teaming with Becky absolutely destroyed my opinion of him. Then the story of him trying to give a locker room speech.... It got to the point where I actually said to a mate of mine that I hate him. WWE took our criticisms on-board and used it to craft a new gimmick for him. I'm looking forward to seeing where it goes.

Like some others have said, I don't hold him accountable for atrocious booking decisions that made most turn on him. It was his brown-nosing and going into business for himself with his stunt that was the precursor to the "Riddle Rule". I do feel he could lean a bit harder into his current Messiah gimmick. After all, the IWC thrives on hate and wants to silence him.

There’s just nothing legitimate or real about his character, at least for a while. That’s why guys like Brock, Rock, Stone Cold, CM Punk worked. They always felt real to their characters.

The stable (minus Murphy) reminds me of a bootleg shield or a Dixie TNA era knockoff. Buddy Murphy doesn't really fit in either imo although it's good that he's getting TV time. I quite like seth but I think he's done all that there is to do right now 9r atleast it doesn't feel like he's grown or changed.

him turning heel was handled very poorly, blaming the fans for the crapfest that was the HiAC match with the Fiend and his real-life a-hole personality and holier-than-thou twitter spat with other wrestlers made look him like a giant tool (keep in mind, he wasn't acting in character and keeping kayfabe around the time of this happening on twitter; unlike his wife Becky Lynch)
but him being heel is a good choice

It could be boarderline HBK heel ala 1997. His character just seems neutered to me. No marbles.
