Seth Rollins won the World Heavyweight Championship at Night of Champions and since winning the title he had been defending his Championship regularly. He has even defended the title on NXT against the former two times WWE NXT champion Bron Breakker. He is a fighting champion unlike Roman Reigns.
Even before winning the Championship, Rollins promised that he would be a fighting champion and he would defend his title regularly. While unveiling the title, Triple H also promise that the fans would be proud of this Championship. Rollins actually managed to keep his promise, he had been a fighting champion ever since winning the title.
A Legend’s Review: WWE Hall Of Famer Discusses the Future Implications of Seth Rollins vs. Bron Breakker Match in NXT
Rollins even defended his World Heavyweight Championship at the NXT against the former two times WWE NXT Champion Bron Breakker. It is very rare in WWE to defend the main roster world title in the NXT. WWE Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels recently spoke to the “Sports Guys Talking Wrestling” podcast where he explained how impactful this match was;
On the Bron Breakker vs. Seth Rollins match: “I will say this, all of us in this business got better because we were in the ring, especially when we first started out, with people that were better than us.
Seth Rollins Defeated Bron Breakker At NXT
“Now, we’re very fortunate to have other men and women that have come from NXT UK and some that have been out there on the independent scene that has been doing it for a little longer that also obviously help our young athletes that come through here from college. At the same time, when a main roster person comes down, that’s now seeds of knowledge for them as well.
“It’s great to be out there getting reps, but a lot of times, if you’re out there with somebody who needs as many reps as you do, you’re still learning, but you’re not going to learn at the rate you are if you’re out there with a Finn Balor, for instance.
“That’s been huge for us. Again, you think about Bron Breakker being out there with Seth Rollins, for me that was like when I was out there very early on with [Ric] Flair, you just take in so much, it’s like getting a Ph.D. in one night. So again, it’s a huge help for us here in NXT. To have that synergy now with the main roster.”
Seth Rollins might have been a fighting champion but is title is still not on the same level of the Universal Championship as WWE is still treating it as the prime title of the show. Monday night RAW creative team is not doing a very good job we must say. But we hope the situation for the title improves soon.
