Seth Rollins explains who he wants to emulate as WWE World Heavyweight Champion.
Rollins captured the title back at Night Of Champions 2023, defeating AJ Styles to become the first ever World Heavyweight Champion.
While speaking to Alex McCarthy of the Daily Mail, Seth Rollins explained his vision for the type of champion he wants to be, remarking that he wants to be like not only CM Punk, but John Cena as a world champion rather than a champion like Roman Reigns.
‘I was a fan of the old champions growing up, the NWA champions that took the title around all the towns and defended it in every city. That’s just what I grew up with and that’s what part of being a champion.
Guys like Ric Flair, Harley Race and even Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels and even if you [look] all the way to John Cena and CM Punk as the WWE Champion, these were guys who were my examples when I was growing up and what fixated in my mind.”
