3. Seth Rollins (Intercontinental Champion)
If there is one superstar who has matched the excitement and entertainment that Becky’s heel turn has brought this company, it is Seth freakin’ Rollins. Monday Night Rollins has been in full effect for months now, and Seth’s reign as Intercontinental Champion has yielded PLENTY of fantastic matches. Although he and his Shield brethren Ambrose came up short at Hell in a Cell for the Raw Tag titles, The Architect’s stock has done nothing but rise since becoming IC champ.
On Monday night, Rollins was forced to defend his title against Dolph Ziggler, after both men took a hellacious fall off the cell through the announce table the night before at Hell in a Cell. Although it was clear both men were severely banged up, they put on one heck of a show. After hitting Ziggler with just about everything Seth had, it seemed Dolph may have been poised to steal his title back from the champ, when he rolled him up and grabbed a fistful of tights. However, Seth kicked out at 2, popped up, and hit a devastating Stomp to Dolph to retain his IC title.
He and The Shield are scheduled for a huge six-man tag match at Super Show-Down against Strowman, McIntyre, and Ziggler. With his reign as Intercontinental champ in full swing, Rollins putting on excellent match after excellent match, and being, arguably, the most over superstar in the company, Seth Rollins is sure to be a staple of our Rankings from here on out.
