Seth Rollins as the Monday Night Messiah is here to stay

Rollins recently spoke about his character on RAW, and how he is enjoying his time as the Monday Night Messiah. “I don’t know when it happened. I don’t know what the moment is, I don’t know if it’s been this quarantine and the way we’ve produced these wrestling shows. For some reason, I’ve been so in tune with this character, especially these last few months. I just feel like I’m clicking on all cylinders”. 

The Superstar has been playing his role on RAW to the fullest of his abilities, successfully amassing two followers already. The cult-leader like character, coupled with his moral ambiguity, makes for an extremely interesting performer inside and outside the ring.

Rollins’ ability as a showman and his excellent mic work also makes for a fully realized character, who fans can rally behind or repudiate.

Seth feels like he’s embodying the Monday Night Messiah, and is completely emersed in the performance.

“Once you feel it, you’re there and everything just comes to you so easily. Every promo, every match, every piece of character work when you’re out there. It’s the weirdest thing, but once I hit that stride I’m just riding, man. It’s like a runner’s high.” he stated.
