But he's on TV every week cutting cookie-cutter promos basically playing "grouchy coward who does his moves."
I wonder why they have Seth Rollins do story time in the opening segment and then do a backstage interview later in the show (I've noticed this double-up a lot lately). It is probably to fill time, but I always preferred his backstage segments. I used to think it might have just been the presentation, but Rollins is actually sharper in those interview segments. Could it be because they are less scripted? Here's a guy who used to pluck Jim Cornette for advice. I can't believe he's not thinking of promos for his matches all the time. Occasionally it seems like he gets one in around the times he is rehearsing lines.

Personally, I'm not a huge fan of Sheamus, but he has to be featured every week because they put the MITB on him. Obviously WWE has some long term plan with him, so gotta let that play out and see where it takes us.
