Seth Rollins is one of the most dominant wrestlers in WWE today and he is also holding the World Heavyweight Championship pretty firmly since the introduction of the title. He promised to be a fighting champion even before winning the title and managed to keep his promise.
Unlike Seth Rollins, the other World Champion of WWE is Roman Reigns who is holding the WWE Universal Heavyweight Championship for three long years. Recently he became the first WWE star in 36 long years to keep a World title for 1000 days. The last year to have such an accomplishment was Hulk Hogan and that was back in 1987.

Roman Reigns might have been a very dominant champion but there had been constant complain about his title reign that he never defended his title regularly, nor he is a regular star in WWE. In these three long years, he has mostly been a part time champion which had been a big point of criticism about his title reign.
Rollins, who had been one of the biggest rivals of Roman Reigns recently shared criticism for the Tribal Chief. Rollins is the only wrestler whom Roman Reigns could never beat in spite of facing him multiple times. Rollins recently spoke on Out of Character with Ryan Satin where he said;
Roman Reigns Could Never Beat Seth Rollins
“Here’s the thing. If Roman was doing what I was doing, there wouldn’t really be a need for a secondary championship, there wouldn’t be a need for another World Heavyweight Title on ‘Raw,'” Rollins said. “But because of the route he has chosen with his schedule and what he wants to do with his title reign is not what I’m doing, somebody’s got to fill that void.
“We did our best with the United States Championship for a little while to do that, but it never really felt like a World Heavyweight Championship, and so there’s got to be that person, there’s got to be that spot for everybody to get to, to try to fight for, and I’m very happy to be the carrot that’s dangling there.”
Roman Reigns got pinned for the first time since December 2019 and he faced the pin by the hands of his own cousin Jey Uso who might challenge Reigns for the Universal title at Summerslam but it is highly unlikely that he would drop the title to him, in fact, rumours suggest that WWE has no plans of Roman dropping the title before WrestleMania 41.
