Seth Rollins has gone through many characters changes throughout his entire career. His most recent gimmick depicts him as an arrogant figure with a smug laugh and some weird dancing moves. It is supposed to be showcased as a heel persona, but then the reverse happened.

WWE fans are quite unpredictable. It is not very easy to know what actually impresses them in the long run. While The Architect didn’t expect his latest run as a violent heel to take a sudden shift at all, he seems to be quite okay with his new Babyface turn too.

Being a Babyface in WWE is not an effortless task. It takes a wrestler a lot of effort to be in the good book of the fanbase. It takes even more to continue for long as a baby face as the fans frequently change their minds. But for ‘The Visionary’, it came easy.

During a recent video posted by WWE’s official YouTube Chanel, Rollins described a lot of things, including his new character and his feelings about it. Mentioning the exact moment from when he came to know that it has all changed for him, the 2 times former Intercontinental Champion noted, ‘But to me, the one moment that I really went, I see where this is going is we are in Madison Square Garden. I believe for a Raw and the end of the show is Riddle’s out there. Matt riddle’s out there doing something and I came out to stomp his head into steel steps and and I am wearing this shiny beautiful black suit and I end the episode by stomping his head into steel steps, thinking I am going to hear a chorus of boos, when in fact, the choir is singing my song and I go okay.’

However, even before that particular moment, Rollins had an instinct about his new character when he was engaged in feuds with Edge and Cody Rhodes. According to him, his visit to Edge’s ‘lovely house’ gained huge positive reactions from the fans. The former US Champion also reflected how the post-pandemic live crowd performances starting in 2021 marked the very beginning of the change.

With WrestleMania 39 approaching near, it officially set Seth Rollins to face the social media sensation Logan Paul on April 1-2 at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles.
