Retired professional wrestler and current WWE commentator Corey Graves who is a former WWE 24/7 champion and also a former NXT Tag Team Champion recently talked about the former four times world champion Seth Rollins and called him the best wrestler in the world right now.
Seth Rollins started his professional wrestling career back in 2005 and he worked in the independent circuit at the beginning of his career. In 2007, he signed a professional contract with Ring of Honor and became a big star of the promotion as he won the ROH World Championship one time. In 2010 he departed from ROH and joined the mighty WWE for the first time in his career.
Corey Graves Praises Seth Rollins, Calls Him The Best Wrestler In The World Right Now
Upon joining WWE in 2010 he started working in the Florida Championship Wrestling which was the development Territory of WWE back in those days and soon shifted to the NXT. He also became the inaugural NXT champion. In 2012 he joined the main roster along with Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose. Together they were known as the Shield.
The trio worked as a stable for nearly 2 years and the became one of the most famous stables in WWE history. In 2014 he turned heel for the first time in the main roster and turned on his partners. At WrestleMania 31 he won his first WWE World Championship and soon he became a four times World Champion in WWE.
Recently he is being seen working non title feuds mostly. His recent feud with Cody Rhodes has earned major praises from both the fans and the critics. It is a little strange why he had been kept out of the world championship picture for such a long time. Of course he got from World Championship matches every now and then but they were not consistent. We hope to see him back on the main event picture once again soon.
Corey Graves who is a former WWE 24/7 champion and also a former NXT Tag Team Champion recently spoke on After The Bell where he talked about the former four times world champion Seth Rollins and called him the best wrestler in the world right now. He said;
“As a fan of this business, in my not quite humble opinion, Seth Freakin’ Rollins is the best sports entertainer, professional wrestler, superstar, whatever label you want to put on him, on Earth. Not just in WWE, not just in America, in the world.”
“I believe that in my soul after watching what Rollins has done night in and night out, week in and week out, for years. When Rollins is in the ring, you’re never going to be disappointed.
“But the trilogy of matches with Cody, and then to recover after losing in Hell in a Cell, coming up on the short end of this hot rivalry, the focal point story, without missing a beat, reinsert himself in the top tier as the number one villain, bad guy, on Monday Night Raw, and continue to churn out these epic matches almost effortlessly, there’s no one that can touch Rollins, in my opinion.”
