 What's good Josh boros back again with another video. So we're gonna check out how good was Seth Rollins WWE world title run in 2015 not gonna lie to you. His world title run was Pretty enjoyable as the chicken shit heel that could actually go in the ring It was it was it was quite entertaining at some fantastic matches and pretty good feuds And of course he had the help of the authority behind him You know, so he would always get away in a certain in most of his matches with the help of Authority, you know backing him up, but he can also still go in the ring and it was quite enjoyable So we're gonna go back down memory lane check out one of if not some consider his best title reign We're gonna go back and check that out and kind of relive those those memories from that time when Seth Rollins was just Despicable he'll but at the same time you couldn't help but enjoy his matches. This is my super kick studios Shout out to him and always dropping some great videos great content If you haven't already go subscribe to him linked to the original video will be down below man I'm looking forward to this. It should be a good one. Let's get right into this It all started with the most iconic money in the bank cash in ever March 29th 2015 we're in the closing moments of a barn burner between Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar a match Not many thought would have the quality that it did with both men bloodied on the mat It was time for mr. Money in the bank to seize the opportunity as one of the greatest cash-ins Rollins and after an auxiliary one of the greatest money in the bank cash-ins of all time Roman Reigns gave Seth Rollins his first WWE Championship and the heist of the century was born the kickoff to what I consider the current era a Million dollars worth of pyro went off behind Rollins as he stood there and a moment for the ages was born The beginning of what was crazy because earlier that night at that WrestleMania He took one of the greatest RKO's of all time to only end up being Tony in the cashing having one of the greatest cash-ins of all time That's crazy was truly his year the next night Brock Lesnar was supposed to get his rematch But this was Seth Rollins we had gotten used to his antics He said nah, that's not gonna happen today Rollins escaped Brock But instead Brock decided to take out his rage on everyone else yeah flips over an announce table F5 to a camera man Kills Michael Cole and get suspended. Yeah, all right. He doesn't have to worry about Brock for the time being instead Michael Cole out his shoes, bro. That was a great. That was a fun Monday night Mania He was nobody was safe, bro It was Randy Orton who was gonna be Rollins his first challenger for the WWE championship after hitting that iconic RKO at WrestleMania 31 If you guys don't remember Seth and Randy were feuding after Randy left the authority cuz which was a fun You just pissing him off too much before this Rollins had a run as mr. Money in the bank And he became a focal point on Rob This was in my opinion how you should book a new superstar How you should book someone with the money in the bank I'm involved with the biggest stars in the company and he was given time to showcase his skills And in my opinion he was the last great mr. Money in the bank coming out with And slowly climbing up the ranks. How do y'all feel about that? Do y'all feel like Seth Rollins was the last great money in the bank winner? that's It's not a bad statement not a bad take I Do like the fact that biggie did win it, but I think what hurts biggie is I think they kind of rushed it and for the simple fact that when biggie Did end up cashing in it was a great moment So awesome moment, but the title reign afterwards, you know, it didn't it didn't help it didn't live up to To what we would have expected them to do for biggie And considering how you even lost the title was kind of trash, too So, I don't know y'all y'all let me know down below Rollins at this time Also had beef with Kane who was the director of operations on screen Randy Orton went on to win a triple threat number one contenders match for a shot at the WWE title at Extreme Rules The next week both men chose their stipulation for the match and Rollins is like, you know what the RKO It's pretty lethal. So let's not do that Let's ban that Orton chose a steel cage match so there couldn't be any interference from J&J security There was this fun storyline WWE ran where of course Randy Orton couldn't use the RKO at the pay-per-view But instead he told Seth that he was gonna get him by the end of the night So Randy was going around RKOing everyone Yep While Rollins was a paranoid little kid trying to hide from him There was an interwoven storyline here where Kane was getting tired of Seth because he was just a pain in the ass After all it was Kane who got Seth the money in the bank the year previous Triple H made Kane the guardian of the gate, which is the dumbest sounding shit. I've ever heard Yeah, Randy hit Seth with the RKO and the match at Extreme Rules It wasn't anything too crazy it was shenanigans littered J&J bouncing around everywhere Rollins kicked out of a pedigree Kane came in choke slamming Orton and Rollins But Seth escaped after hitting an RKO on Orton and retaining his WWE title Seth had to start using the pedigree because Vince thought the stomp was something too brutal for a champion to be doing on a Yep, I remember that even though it's not if it's done correctly, but yeah He started bringing that into his his repertoire weekly basis saying that kids could injure themselves while doing the move Which is basically any Anyways, half blonde half brunette Seth Rollins was so much fun to watch And Kane was saying the worst WWE dialogue ever calling Seth the WWE's version of Justin Bieber I don't exactly know what the company was trying to do here Maybe they wanted to work with him or get him to appear on TV Anyways, out came Roman and out came Randy to lay their claim to the WWE Championship the audience voted for Seth to be in a triple threat match with both Roman and Randy at payback The one thing I really noticed while watching this title running back was that Rollins ate quite a few pins He wasn't booked to be a strong champion at all and honestly at points eight pins from people He shouldn't have as you'll see later in the video when you're trying to Someone as a champion. I don't think that's the best thing you should know for sure He shouldn't have been eating pins, but the crazy thing is crazy thing is the dude Was still entertaining as a heel Hey, you wanted to see who was gonna take the title off of him that's and I think that's kind of where Good intrigue was obviously the authority starting to crumble You wanted to see who was gonna take the title off this guy I get it with the chicken shit he'll booking, but you should at least make them look strong Just a few weeks before payback. He got pinned by Randy Orton The whole story was that Seth was a chump the triple threat match became a fatal four way when Kane made Rollins take on Ambrose and here Rollins lost again What was funny about the build to payback was Rollins was beefing Kane and then Reigns and Orton were fighting each other While Ambrose was just kind of there. This was the most 2015 thrown together thing ever Interference by Joey Mercury and Jamie Novelin Rollins' matches was actually funny because you're not supposed to take them as a threat Everyone's bigger than them, but it went along with his booking However, the gripe I have was the interference was so redundant the story going into payback was Kane's allegiance Would he help Rollins keep the title in the authority or would he stand against him first? He did stand against him because bro just stood there watching him get The fatal four-way was just pure chaos with the J&J security interfering Roman diving around everywhere Rollins doing the same It was constant action a match. That's really forgotten. I don't really ever see anybody talking about it Kane and the fellas constantly interfering of course that brief moment where Ambrose Rollins and Reigns powerbombed Randy through the announce table having a Didn't last long Ambrose and Reigns then powerbombed Kane through the announce table and into Rollins The finish came when Kane wrecked Ambrose wrecked Roman and Aiden RKO from Randy Which helped Rollins hit the pedigree and get the win so two title defenses both solid in-ring work That was never really the issue the start to this rain I didn't enjoy so much. It felt kind of clunky. The promos weren't the best the storylines Not so good either but that being said it was that period after WrestleMania, which is usually pretty dry now Things started to get better headed into the summer of 2015 and that started with a program with Dean Ambrose Who came into the ring with like five guys in there and decided to bring back some cinder blocks and repay the favor from a few years previous Murder he had murdered his mind and dad gave Ambrose what he wanted and that was a WWE world title match at Elimination chamber Rollins continued to take more pins when Roman and Ambrose beat him in a tag match storyline wise This was entertaining Ambrose beating down Joey and Jamie and then assaulting a cameraman So what ends up happening is Triple H got him arrested the running storyline for the night Was that Ambrose would have to sign the contract to get his elimination chamber match since he was arrested There's no way that could happen Well low and behold at the end of the night out of the paddy wagon comes Ambrose with a night stick signs the contract after a YouTube video Showed Seth shoving the cameraman into Ambrose Elimination chamber to me had two great matches and that was Cena versus Owens and then these two in the main event Ambrose versus Rollins I don't think these guys ever missed and this one wasn't any different the finish came when the official was wiped out Ambrose hit a dirty deeds out came a new ref to make the count one two three It was over Dean Ambrose had just won his first ever WWE championship and so quickly they did it so quickly Seth's reign was over. They saw the reactions growing for Ambrose Only problem was the original referee said that Ambrose did win But by DQ cuz Rollins pulled the ref in the way. So still the WWE champion was Seth Rollins But uh Dean Ambrose didn't want to hand over the WWE title. Yep. He stole it Triple H was about to remember that You know what I'm witchy Dean give me this day. I'm tired. It's mine You want to come back and fight me for it? Papa blood vessel cuz he wanted Ambrose to give it back instead out came Roman Reigns who at this point I genuinely have no clue what they were doing with the guy He was basically helping out Ambrose at every point and directionless after his WrestleMania main event They were still really trying with him He told the authority that Ambrose was only coming back if he got a rematch at Money in the Bank and in a ladder match And Seth accepted saying that he could do it all on his own the look on triple H and Steph's face was priceless Here the story they were trying to tell is Seth coming into his own and that he can prove to everyone that he can Win without help bro was in his rebellious teenager phase Delivered this really cool promo where he used a steel chair as symbolism It really felt like something that belonged in a proper shield rivalry where he talked about how the chair ended it all There's a spotlight on him. You should check it out. It's really well done Man just told everyone that he didn't need anyone anymore only for Ambrose to troll him with the title The bill to money in the bank upon a rewatch wasn't anything too special It was only a two-week window But Ambrose really shined here in this Rollins then burned bridges with J and J and Kane This guy was eating pinfall losses to Joey Mercury in 2015 as the W Yeah, that that is Will you say it like that? That is kind of That's that's a questionable booking Even for your top chicken shit heel for him to be losing to his cronies. That's It's kind of interesting Champion like I said some points in his booking just baffled me the match at Money in the Bank was brutal Filled with a ton of high spots weapon spots and the finish was pretty creative as well Both guys falling off had a good few to hand only for Rollins to barely get a grip on it and emerge with it I'd show just that that he could barely retain the championship So now Ambrose was out of the way and of course the win went to Rollins his head the night after money in the bank He went around crapping on everyone who helped him in the authority at the end of the night Triple H and Steph were gonna announce a brand new opponent for Seth telling him that they want to see if their investment is Paying off and at that moment Seth knew that he Suspension the night after WrestleMania and the match was made Lesnar versus Rollins WWE title battleground And now realizing that he's got Lesnar on his case Rollins was trying to make up with everyone who he was just So Seth was begging and pleading for everyone to take him back Rollins did end up getting everyone back and things were looking up I went back and I rewatch every segment this man had and oh my god I remember Smackdown in 2015 having this fire opening theme with black and blue, but man this show was god awful Just unwatchable the most thrown together WWE nonsense You'll ever see Rollins was barely appearing on that show the storylines were all mainly on raw and Smackdown was raw fallout It was terrible Seth now that he had the band back together showed his appreciation for J and J and Kane brand new Apple watches for all of them And Kane a vacation to Hawaii since he saw J and J arriving a crappy rental car But in between the sucking up and the chaos Seth broke the 11th commandment he intentionally provoked the beast So naturally revenge was coming J and J were just cruising around Chicago in their new Cadillac Seth Rollins decides to call out Brock Lesnar and of course J and J bring out their car with them and leave it Right at the top of the ramp So you already know what's gonna happen Outcomes Brock and he destroys this Cadillac into oblivion almost launches the door into a fan Which could have easily been a lawsuit instead They ended up moving the kid to the front row and even gave him some merch because he was startled Parading out the broken car to piss off Seth. Oh, he destroyed that vehicle I mean any grown man launching a door that far Is not to be messed with Seth here birthed the line of burn it down giving us the earliest glimpses of a future character He would have at battleground Seth retained the title when undertakers showed up looking for revenge from WrestleMania 30 So Brock was out of the picture the match wasn't anything of no really It was the David versus Goliath story with Seth running away and trying to avoid the overpowered offense of Brock Lesnar Brock hit a pin and had Rollins down the gong hit Yeah over so alright Ambrose done Orton done Brock out of the picture Reigns technically gone to what could be next The night after battleground out came Seth Rollins cutting the classic Seth Rollins promo Forcing Lillian Garcia to make the announcement that the crowd was robbed of the night previous and out came his next Opponent John Cena He was the US champion at the time and really on a remarkable run at that too to me the match against Ambrose and money The bank was his best match of this title reign But the rivalry with Cena was the best overall program Cena came out calling Rollins a coward calling his title reign a fluke that the US title actually meant something the next week Cena came out looking for a WWE title match against Rollins But it instead became a US championship match an enjoyable rewatch where Rollins legit broke Cena's nose with But Cena ended up retaining this was used in storyline where Rollins wore a shirt that said you can't see me Were really good as well Sometimes you can tell when a competitor is feeling it and he looked in his element being a chicken shit he'll a title for title Winner take all match was me yeah summer slam Rollins that that was actually cool Bo the United States championship on the line the WWE championship from online The United States championship hadn't felt that damn important quite some time and it was cool to see It's main event in the show and it's all on the line Like the winner takes all this was this was actually pretty pretty enjoyable I was hyped for this also issued a open challenge for the WWE title mocking John Cena This was accepted by Neville, you know the one with the really close near fall He retained in that match retained against Randy Orton on raw and even avoided a cash in from Seamus in the short Robbery between him and Cena the promos were intense The build to the match was carried on who would be the first ever person to hold both the US title and the WWE title at the same time when we got to Brooklyn for summer slam Let me tell you I remember watching this live and loving it Rollins in all white one of his most legendary attires But then came this shitty ass finish with John Stewart making an appearance. Yes TV show host John Stewart that who had an on-screen beef with Seth Rollins and this man instead screws over John Cena and this amazing man that Bad was yeah, that That's once again WWE jumping the shark They didn't need to do that with so much riding on it ends with one of the worst possible finishes This match didn't need Stewart at all to end like that. I still don't know why they did that This was honestly so dumb especially because literally nothing happened afterwards Stewart never got in the ring There wasn't a program. Yeah, it's a huge stain on a big championship match He did nothing aside from Eden AA the next night really dumb way for someone to become a double champion and to end John Cena's US Championship reign which was killer There were also rumors going into summer slam that Rollins would lose the title at battleground and would face Triple H at Summer slam, but that never ended up happening. Nonetheless, your new US champion will also being the WWE champion Was Seth Rollins, but before this match Stephanie and Triple H promised Seth a statue so the time came to unveil said statue Once that curtain went up Underneath was a legend and that was sting telling Rollins that he was fighting for all the legends that Seth said that he was as Good as only problem for Seth now was that at night of champions He had two championship matches one against John Cena for the US title and then sting for the WWE championship The storyline here was sting held Rollins a statue hostage and eventually threw it in a garbage truck I don't know why this is the best they could come up with for sting Yeah In the process tapped to him in a tag match when we got to night of champions He lost the US championship back to John Cena right after that he faced sting Rollins hit him with a buckle bomb and suffered a neck injury which would prove to be his last match in the WWE Which is crazy soldiered on and finished the match He also stated that he has no ill will towards Rollins Well, Bret Hart said that Rollins needed to improve his technique and become safer after injuring both sting and Cena Yeah, I remember he got a lot of criticism During that time Because of that Yes, that's blondie if you can hear in the back It's just one of those type of things where obviously, you know I don't he wasn't trying to intentionally hurt them and and sting just being the guy that he is He knew he wouldn't try to hurt him so he doesn't hold no ill will towards him But, you know, it was one of those things that was pretty much like a you know You got to find a way to be more careful in the ring granted He fantastic in the ring even now I don't think Seth is one of those guys that you have to be that. Oh god watch out for him He likes to hurt people or he tends to hurt people or whatnot. I wouldn't say that granted, you know, he ended up hurting Finn Balor Years later too. So that was a thing. So I'm not making my case stronger, but Obviously, I don't think the guy is one of those people you have to worry about when it comes to in ring competition and injuring people but I do remember that being a very big talking point around this time Him being a safe worker or not Jamis attempted a money in the bank cash in on Rollins But Kane made his return and Chokesland both of them a few months previous Brock and Seth had storyline injured Kane with Rollins stomping out his ankle So since he'd been beefing him for so long this made sense Rollins lost his championship rematch to John Cena and then got dragged down to hell by Kane who had this split personality deal going on Yeah, Rollins was making complaints to HR about Kane, but it was all okay. I didn't really enjoy this It made sense. No, I wouldn't enjoy the split personality stuff. I just Get it off my screen. It wasn't all great split personality stuff with Kane It's from a storytelling perspective though Rollins and Kane two members of the Authority Rollins Overstepping his boundaries for months only for Kane to come back and fight him He retained the title at Hell in a Cell this step being that if Kane lost corporate Kane would be relieved of his duties Roman Reigns then won a number one contenders fiddle four-way match to become Well the number one contender and now it all came full circle the man Rollins pinned to win the WWE Championship at 31 and the same man he hit in the back with a chair over a year ago These two were gonna face off at Survivor Series for the WWE title Only problem is it never ended up happening Seth got injured at a live event in Dublin when he landed on the instep of his right knee while going for a powerbomb on Kane tearing His ACL MCL and meniscus causing him to miss six months of action It's kind of ironic how that was the same knee that broke John Cena's nose a few months previous as well So the WWE title was vacated and instead a tournament was started to crown a new WWE World Heavyweight Champion And that ended up being Roman Reigns. I do wonder what would have ended up happening Yeah, I think it made sense for Roman to beat Rollins because his title reign had kind of ran its course by this point This has also been something that had been in the works for a long time But Reigns spent the majority of the summer busy with the Wyatt family. It was such a shitty way to go out Yeah, what's weird to me is yes, he did win the WWE Championship again after but he didn't have a proper reign with it He lost it on the same night his universal championship run started off strong Then became one of the most poorly booked world title reigns in recent This was Seth Rollins his year though the superstar of the year. There's parts in this title reign Which I really enjoy I like the matches with Cena and Ambrose in the spring and summer Whereas the stuff with Kane and staying upon a rewatch wasn't anything noteworthy or fun The title reign was mostly good But at some points felt very directionless the one key thing that I should point out is Basically everyone he faced in the title reign He had a problem with on screen in the previous year So the continuation of those stories was very well done But if I'm being real here, he wasn't booked to be a strong champion This was such an up-and-down title reign sometimes we get so clouded with nostalgia and I do understand that But this wasn't a remarkable run by any means a copy-paste formula at points Weird finishes that didn't make a lot of sense I feel as though when WWE pushes new stars usually their first title reigns are these ugly duckling finding your way sort of runs Where yeah, you might be great in the ring But maybe it doesn't all align like it should from a storyline standpoint that critique being made the thing that I did enjoy But this title reign was the variety of challengers and also been trying to be different with the stories It wasn't just a run of challengers. Let's try something different. All right, let's ban the RKO Let's have Seth kind of come into his own and then by the end of the title reign J&J weren't really interfering The one thing he also did well was promo work with his little cackle The wildest tidbit in this entire reign to me is when the cash in happened Roman's dad told him to quit the WWE Which is just wild to me anyways I figured with the World Heavyweight Championship making a return and many picking Rollins as the guy who Right fun to go back and look at his first right around this time championship run for I thought it was all right. Nothing too crazy, but it wasn't bad by any standards. It's kind of in that middle It's got peaks and valleys and then there's a lot of high points as well But I hope you guys enjoyed the video do take very good care of yourself Very interesting man very interesting point the question is is this his best title reign so far And we're talking about at least major title reign when he had to enter continental championship I think that was one of his better reigns like work like work rate wise. That was one of his better reigns But we're talking about just major titles This in my opinion Even though it definitely had its flaws and he was losing matches. He shouldn't have been losing this was Better than what they did with him as the universal champion in that dad Yeah, that did not work It was not landing so and right now his world heavyweight championship run has been okay It's been it's been serviceable hasn't been anything where it's like there's been some good matches for sure But it's it's early. So he's had a few opponents. So it hasn't been anything. There's a all man. This is this is Revolutionary but at the same time, it's been solid. It's been pretty good. So the question becomes is this his 2015 WWE world title run. Is this his best major title run ever in WWE y'all? Let me know down below But I appreciate all the love and support you guys have shown on the channel wrote to one fifty K Now I'm still young to speedy youtuber son champ of the world Appreciate y'all kicking me. See y'all next one. Peace
