Yet, because it's pro wrestling "... You're asking why a pro wrestling character would become evil and corrupt. Jesus Christ." is somehow a "winning" argument.

Fuck just pro wrestling. What form of entertainment DOESN'T feature good guys becoming corrupt and turning evil. How is this such an insane fucking concept!? lol
Hulk Hogan was the greatest good guy wrestling had ever seen. He had everything he could have possibly wanted and he became evil and corrupt. Did that drive you as nuts?
Rollins wasn't even that far removed from being a heel henchman for the authority, FFS. How is it so hard to buy him turning his back on his friends and turning into a selfish prick for money and power? Something just about every wrestler has done at some point in the history of the business to keep stories and characters progressing.
