Seth Rollins is playing one of the best heel characters in wrestling today. He had a gripping rivalry with Rey Mysterio not too long ago. The Messiah popped out the legend’s eye to win a match at Extreme Rules.
Since then, Rollins’ antics have caught the eye of the WWE Universe. At Crown Jewel, The Visionary of Drip took on Edge inside Hell in a Cell.
Staying true to his current character, Rollins targeted Edge’s eye and nearly popped it out with the help of a steel rod. Why does Seth Rollins keep targeting his opponent’s eye? Was it a wise move to target Edge’s eye at Crown Jewel?
It’s great to see that WWE is building on some past spots to continue some superstars’ current characters. However, dangerous moves like these could badly influence the younger audience.
Rollins must think this is an eye for an eye match as well 😅 #WWECrownJewel
The spot could have gone very wrong had Rollins not been such a trained professional. Such dangerous moves could force some fans away from their screens. WWE could look to find something else to build Rollins’ character around.
