WWE RAW – Seth Rollins Discusses His Character
He won a lot of Championship on the independent circuit and also at the ROH where he won the ROH World Championship one time and other championships as well. He had been quite a famous name in the independent circuit throughout his Indie days. He was quite famous during his Ring Of Honor days as well.
In 2010 he came to WWE and in 2012 he made his main water debut after short spells in the story The Florida Championship Wrestling and NXT, both of which were the development territory of WWE back in the time. He first made his debut as a member of the iconic WWE stable the Shield which also consisted Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose.
In 2014 the team split up and they started working solo. Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose remained babyfaces whereas Seth turned heel. He was the first of the three wrestlers to win the World Championship in WWE.
Seth played both babyface and heel gimmicks in WWE but he became mostly famous as a heel. He was a heel that fans love to hate. In a very short amount of time he earned a lot of championships in WWE including a total of four world championships, two of them were the WWE Championships and the other two are the WWE Universal Heavyweight Championships.
Apart from that he also won the WWE United States Championship, the Intercontinental Championship, a total of six Tag Team championships, Money in the Bank and also the men’s Royal Rumble match in 2019. Surely, he will win many other championships in future.
Seth Rollins who is also a former two times WWE Intercontinental Champion and a former WWE United States Champion recently spoke to where he described his on screen character. He said;
“God, it’s as if — it’s as if this crazy — if The Joker were a narcissist going through a midlife crisis. I guess that’s the best way to really put it [description of his character]. I don’t really know any other way to do it. But yeah, it’s a lot. It’s a lot happening but the cool thing about the character is it can kind of go any which way.
There’s a lot of unpredictability with it and I think that’s fun, you know? You can have matches like a Hell In A Cell match with Edge, but you can also have television segments where I just laugh with my best friend Bayley for five minutes.
So, you know, I just think that there’s not a lot of characters on our television program that can do all these different things and so, that’s kind of just my approach to where I’m at right now.”
