Now, Rollins is back on SmackDown and has already tried to establish himself as the leader of the pack. Unfortunately, he received a lackluster response from the other Superstars on the roster.
Interestingly, Rollins entered the ring using his old entrance music. This possibly means that the Messiah character is over, and he will soon unleash another side of his personality for the WWE Universe.

However, his change of character won’t stray too far from his current character. He has always shown himself as someone who wants to lead everybody else towards the greater good. In fact, as mentioned above, he has already tried to establish himself as the leader.
