We have previously reported that there might have been some changes in the role of Seth Rollins on WWE Raw. He might have received promotions in terms of status in recent times. Such type of roles is famous in the WWE in the name of locker room leaders. The Architect of the WWE has received the same kind of role, as per the reports. Now he confirmed the same with an update on the social media.
Roman Reigns was the former locker room leader in the WWE for the past several years. This was evident as he is the current franchise player of the company. Prior to that, John Cena played the role for over a decade before the Big Dog arrived in the scene and took it over. But we all know that Roman Reigns is out of the scene due to his fight with Leukemia. The disease that can even cause death will not allow him to return to the WWE for a long time.
Hence, WWE gave his duties to Seth Rollins making him the new locker room leader. We witnessed the evidence when WWE.com changed the poster for WWE Raw, a few days ago. Roman Reigns used to be the center of attention in it. But now, Seth Rollins took the spot over. In turn, Drew McIntyre received the spot of Seth Rollins right after coming back on the main roster from NXT.
However, the beginning of the year was not much pleasant for Seth Rollins. He has been a prime champion a couple of years ago and was nowhere near to go back to the main event scene. He himself addressed the situation by saying,
“At the start of 2018, there wasn’t a lot of buzz around me and some people were wondering (including me) if maybe my best years were behind me.”
It was his work ethic that saved the day for him. The nickname of being the workhorse of the WWE is appropriate for him as he wrestled the most number of matches in the year 2018 without taking any time off. This is the best quality of a locker room leader who becomes an example to fellow superstars and fans. This allowed him to get a smooth transition,
“I hit a stride so smooth that my confidence shot through the stratosphere. I began to flourish in the roles of general and leader. I was able to travel the world, make new friends, share the ring with some of the most talented humans on the planet, and learn a little about a lot I didn’t know before.”
If he can keep the current position intact then it’s certain that Seth Rollins is going to the main event of Wrestlemania 35. A beast incarnate will be waiting for him with the Universal Championship hanging in the balance.
