2018's Best-of-the-Best: Top 7 WWE Superstars from the first-half of 2018

#5 Seth Rollins

Enter captio — The Kingslayer is in his zone

Seth Rollins came into 2018 as a wildcard, so to speak. There was no clear direction for Rollins, but his drive and determination pushed him over the top and into a top spot as a contender for the WWE Intercontinental Championship, a title he would eventually capture.

2018 has been, in my opinion, one of Seth's best years overall. Rollins was able to capitalize on the elevation The Miz had given to the Intercontinental Title.

The way these guys have been able to bring back the prestige to the Intercontinental Championship is something we haven't seen since the late 1980's when the strap was highly regarded as one of the top titles in the world.

The ceiling is incredibly high for Seth Rollins. If he continues on this current course he's on, he will surpass anything he ever imagined he would do.

The Kingslayer is on a roll, with no signs of slowing down at all. This could be the catalyst for a historic era in Rollins' career.
