What's the story?
Seth Rollins is one of the most popular Superstars WWE has right now, and they have been using that star power in a lot of interesting ways lately. While the company falls flat on its face at times when doing so, there are other moments where they are able to script things just right and make an appearance meaningful.
Fortunately, for a part of the WWE Universe that attended an NXT Live event in Davenport Iowa, they were treated to a special appearance from Seth Rollins, who had a powerful message for his hometown crowd. If nothing else, it was a truly special moment for longtime fans of his and hopefully a sign that WWE will do more of this in the future.
In case you didn't know...
It may have taken three curb stomps and an absolute beating at the hands of Brock Lesnar, but Seth Rollins finally pinned The Beast to become the new Universal champion at WrestleMania 35. Not only was the title change a huge shift in WWE's booking of the championship picture, but also acted as a promise to fans that things would change.
Beyond all that, Rollins' victory finally brought an end to Brock Lesnar's latest reign of terror as Universal champion, which fans were particularly happy with. If nothing else, it gave the Universal title a fresh take and put a guy that really deserved to be at the top of the mountain.
The heart of the matter
Only weeks before his scheduled title match with AJ Styles at Money In The Bank, Rollins made a surprise appearance during an NXT Live show in Davenport Iowa. Once the shock of the moment wore off a little, Rollins started to talk about the home being where the heart is and thanking the fans for coming to see the show.
What's next?
Seth Rollins is scheduled to defend his Universal title against AJ Styles at Money in The Bank in what is believed to be one of the biggest dream matches in WWE right now. Not only is that evident by the high flying arsenal that both superstars yield in their own special way, but also by who WWE will ultimately decide to go with, when all is said and done.
What will also be interesting to see is the fallout from the match and if AJ Styles gets another shot or not, if he loses. Furthermore, one also has to wonder who Rollins' next challenger for the big red belt will be and what chance they ultimately have of dethroning The Beast slayer on Monday Night Raw.
