Seth Rollins has been one of WWE's most prominent superstars since joining the main roster in 2012. Vince Russo, the company's former head writer, believes the RAW talent is not as good as he thinks.
On the August 5, episode of RAW, Bronson Reed took out Rollins with six top-rope Tsunami splashes. The former World Heavyweight Champion was absent for eight weeks before returning to hit Reed with a Stomp on the September 30, episode of RAW.
Russo discussed Reed's Tsunami move with host Dr. Chris Featherstone on Sportskeeda Wrestling's Writing With Russo. Asked about the Aussie's August 5, attack on Rollins, Russo made his feelings clear:
"I think first of all it was new. That was like the first time he had done it. And, bro, I just gotta tell you, man, I think Seth Rollins is annoying to a lot of people. I just really do, bro. That voice and that twang, the way he dresses. He carries himself, whether he is or not in real life I don't know, I don't know the dude, but he kinda carries himself like he's full of himself and he thinks he's more over than he really is. There's a lot of reasons not to like Seth Rollins." [5:17 – 5:52]

Vince Russo on Braun Strowman and Seth Rollins' lack of popularity
Although Seth Rollins performs as a babyface, fans encouraged Bronson Reed to continue attacking him on August 5. Every time the villainous superstar hit his rival with a Tsunami, the audience chanted, "One more time!"
Vince Russo thinks Reed's moments with Braun Strowman and Rollins prove that WWE's creative team needs to make fans care more about babyfaces:
"You're not gonna get that type of response if he's doing it to people they [fans] care about. That's the problem, bro. You've gotta have babyfaces over that they care about. Braun Strowman is not over. They don't care about Braun Strowman. So if they don't care about the people, they're gonna wanna see another one, another one, another one." [4:27 – 4:52]
Russo also disclosed details about a conversation he had with someone in WWE about Reed after the September 30, episode of RAW.
