Why Wrestling Thread? Why?! Why?!

[The Chris]

Rollins turned? What possible good reason would any of them turn after what happened last night?

 

[runawayboulder]

This made zero sense.

 

[E-Man]

How did the Wrestling Thread get to Seth Rollins?

 

[MMMMM...Pancakes]

There just isn't any sound reason why Rollins would betray the unstoppable friends he's had since day one for the guys they beat twice in a row.

This. I wonder what'll they come up with to explain this.

 

[TheNextNolan22]

Rollins vs. Bryan for the title. Book it.

 

[Donnie Darko]

Would have worked soooo much better if Ambrose turned. Waaaaay better fit for that role and a natural heel. They better have a damn good explanation for this because this doesn't make any sense whatsoever.

I agree that it doesn't really make sense for him to join HHH, but I also don't see Ambrose being a good fit with Evolution for some reason, although it could lead to interesting developments of HHH not knowing if he can actually control or trust the lunatic he just aligned himself with (if it was Ambrose).

 

[X Knight]

just tuned in to the tail end of RAW......

WTF happened??!! Rollins!!

 

[TheNextNolan22]

Moving Sheamus into Evolution a few weeks ago would have been a better move IMO. The Shield were not at their apex.

 

[Benstamania]

Well.. That was dumb.

 

[H.U.S.T.L.E.]

I don't have any clue how they're going to explain the turn for Rollins... but there's two amazing things that can happen from this:

1) Rollins vs. Ambrose feud - We might finally see Dean devolve into the psychotic madman he's fully capable of portraying with one of his brothers betraying him. Oh boy, I can't wait for this.

2) HEEL ROLLINS VS. DANIEL BRYAN FOR THE WWE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP = AWESOMESAUCE

 

[Van Petrol]

Thought both Ambrose and Rollins were going to switch on Reigns.

Well we have Evolution 2.0 now.

Past: Haitch
Present: Orton
Future: Rollins

 

[runawayboulder]

We all knew it was coming one day but after months of being at war with Evolution, Rollins just ups and joins them...?

More proof that creative is anything but creative.

 

[Hunter Rider]

I don't know what to make of that, it got over so it wasn't a bust and I had a feeling when Reigns cut the "brothers" promo and Rollins got the chairs that the betrayal was gonna happen, although I figured Ambrose would turn as well.

If this is a case of Triple H sees Rollins as the next piece of coal he can mold into a diamond and it leads to Rollins winning the WWE title as a result, maybe even setting up Rollins vs Reigns for Mania 31, then it'll be good booking, but there's a LONG road ahead and Rollins explanation needs to have some logic to it.

 

[Heretic]

Funny...Riley (I think) on the Network just called it the dumbest move ever...I dont think he knows that he's right on more than one level.

However...MAYBE it would make sense if they had promised Rollins a world title shot at the PPV...but they've already said it would be wasted on Kane.

 

[Wheels]

This is bizarre. I don't get it.

 

[The Chris]

We all knew it was coming one day but after months of being at war with Evolution, Rollins just ups and joins them...?

More proof that creative is anything but creative.

Not only at war but beat them twice. Swept them last night 3-0. This is like a high profile player from the super bowl champion going to one of those 3 win teams in the offseason. He switched to the losing team.

 

[TheNextNolan22]

Glad Rollins is getting a push though.

 

[SuperBatman]

Thought both Ambrose and Rollins were going to switch on Reigns.

Well we have Evolution 2.0 now.

Past: Haitch
Present: Orton
Future: Rollins

I thought that Too I thought Ambrose was going to smile after acting so shocked about what Rollins did and they both were going to beat down Reigns.

 

[Benstamania]

I think it would have made MORE sense if one of them trend last night when Triple H was the last one.. But no.. What does Rollins have to gain from Evolution now? Unless this is some trick to take Evolution apart from the inside this is a terrible waste of the best stable in years.

 

[Hunter Rider]

The weird thing was Rollins reaction, three times Triple H smiled at him and I was waiting for a grin or something, but he just stared blankly.

 

[TheNextNolan22]

But how awesome would have it been to have Rollins bust Ambrose open and hung him upside down, like when the Age of the Fall began? That would've been much better.

 

[Dr. Evil]

The Divas Lockeroom is breathing a sigh of relief that Batista is gone....for the time being.

 

[H.U.S.T.L.E.]

I'm as confused as anybody else as for the potential explanation, but I see far more positives coming out of this.

- The main event is SEVERELY lacking top heels to challenge Bryan. Boom, you've got a brand new challenger at the top of the card in Rollins (and one who's already got awesome chemistry with the champ).

- Rollins has shown that he can be a great singles heel already (he proved that during the Shield's first run). Now, he's the guy who can put both Ambrose & Reigns over the top because he's going to sell his butt off for those guys. He'll make them look awesome.

- Down the line, when Rollins has his eventual face turn we'll possibly get good stuff against Orton & HHH.

- For the immediate future, Rollins/Orton vs. Ambrose/Reigns should be some super fun tag matches.

EDIT: Also, I felt that following this program with Evolution, there wasn't going to be much left for The Shield to accomplish together. What would they have done next? Beaten another group of HHH's hand-picked goons? I feel like anything else would have been a step down. Now they can keep them all in the main event, where they belong.

 

[runawayboulder]

Chrisley Knows Best has already been better than Raw tonight and I have no f***ing clue what's going on there.

 

[The Apocalypse]

The Divas Lockeroom is breathing a sigh of relief that Batista is gone....for the time being.

The real winners.
