Following Seth Rollins' recent win over AJ Styles to capture the World Heavyweight title, WWE Legend Mick Foley praised The Visionary on social media.

"ROLLINS IS MY MVP! I may be a little late to the party here, but I want to give my utmost congratulations to @wwerollins on his victory at Night of Champions. Rollins was already an all-time great before this recent renaissance, where his character just took an abrupt turn and became one of the most enjoyable performers in recent history. His recent run — which includes a seeming inability to have a bad match with anyone — combined with the connection that his character has made with the audience, makes him my MVP thus far in 2023," wrote Foley.

From defeating Logal Paul at WrestleMania 39, to overcoming the giant Omos at Backlash, the new World Heavyweight Champion has so far had a year to remember.
