3 WWE matches that Seth Rollins loved and 2 that he disliked

#2 Disliked: Ironman match

WWE took the unusual approach of headlining the Extreme Rules 2018 pay-per-view with the Intercontinental Championship Ironman match between Seth Rollins and Dolph Ziggler, as opposed to the WWE Championship match between AJ Styles and Rusev.

In terms of drama, the company’s decision-makers made the right call to close the show with the 30-minute Ironman match. However, the encounter was essentially hijacked by the crowd, who counted down from 10-1 every time a new minute ticked over on the big screen.

WWE attempted to stop this from happening by removing the minutes and seconds from the screen, distracting both competitors in the process, while fans in attendance began to count along from 10-1 by using timers on their phones instead.

Rollins, who lost the match 5-4 after sudden death overtime, spoke about the chaotic match on Lilian Garcia’s ‘Chasing Glory’ podcast:

“Sometimes I don’t understand the, ‘I’m gonna be here bored, you’ve been sitting there for five hours, just trying to find anything to keep yourself entertained’, but I never understood the concept of coming to the show and doing anything other than watching the show. I don’t know, I can’t imagine it, but whatever. It is what it is. They pay the money, they can do what they want.”
