3 WWE Superstars Seth Rollins requested to work with and 2 he didn't

#4 Seth Rollins did not request to face “The Fiend” Bray Wyatt

Seth Rollins’ eight-month storyline with Brock Lesnar came to an end when the former Shield member conquered “The Beast” in the main event of SummerSlam 2019 to win the Universal Championship for the second time.

In the weeks leading up to SummerSlam, it had become clear that Seth Rollins had gradually started to lose momentum, especially when fans barely reacted to his babyface promo on the final episode of RAW before the pay-per-view.

Following his win over Lesnar, Seth Rollins regained momentum as a babyface with a statement victory over Braun Strowman at Clash of Champions. Meanwhile, around the same time, Bray Wyatt’s new “The Fiend” character had become one of the most popular acts on RAW, even though he was mostly booked as a heel.

The title rivalry between the two Superstars resulted in the majority of WWE fans turning against Seth Rollins, who later said on the Cheap Heat podcast that he did not agree with the decision to book him against “The Fiend” at that time.

“I feel like I got a raw end of the deal, a raw shake, when it came to what I was doing at the time and the position I was put in with The Fiend character and the Hell in a Cell and the Super ShowDown [Crown Jewel] matches after I had just come off what I thought was an incredible match and long story with Brock Lesnar from SummerSlam.”

“The Fiend” took the Universal Championship to SmackDown after winning it at Crown Jewel, while Seth Rollins turned heel and transformed into the “Monday Night Messiah” character.
