The Monday Night Messiah Seth Rollins has a new home on SmackDown. From late November 2012 until early November 2015, Seth Rollins held a record for the most-consecutive appearances on Monday Night RAW. Being the workhorse that he is, the former Universal Champion was appropriately given the name "Monday Night Rollins".

Even after the 2016 WWE Draft, Seth Rollins was one of the few superstars who was never drafted to SmackDown. He remained on RAW and became the face of the brand in 2019 once Roman Reigns had to temporarily step down from his spot.

Seth Rollins appeared on SmackDown when he interrupted the returning Daniel Bryan and a feud was teased instantly. However, the demons of his past, i.e, Rey Mysterio, Dominik Mysterio, and even Murphy came back to haunt him.

While the father-son duo had cornered Seth Rollins, Murphy proceeded to attacked his former leader, ensuring that their alliance wouldn't pour on to SmackDown from RAW.

The big confusion is as to who Seth Rollins will be feuding with. Wouldn't it make sense for WWE to wrap up the Mysterio-Rollins-Murphy story on SmackDown before teasing a new feud with Daniel Bryan?
