It's no secret that Seth Rollins is one of the most talented and over Superstars in the company today. His accomplishments go far and beyond any other Superstars' who have competed in WWE as long as he has.
Rollins was the only member of The Shield to be an NXT Champion, and therefore he was seen as a successful prospect since the beginning. With each passing year, he has become more and more successful in the company.
In 2015, Rollins joined a class of elite superstars who held two championship belts simultaneously for the company. Other notable legendary superstars who have achieved this feat include Shawn Michaels, Stone Cold Steve Austin, and Triple H.
However, Rollins seems to be above the rest at the moment as now he has achieved this feat three times in his WWE career.
In this article, we will look at the 3 times Seth Rollins became a double champion for the biggest wrestling promotion in the world:
#1 First double championships - 2015
Seth Rollins' road to becoming a double champion began at WrestleMania 31. During a match between the champion Brock Lesnar and challenger Roman Reigns for the WWE Championship, Rollins inserted himself late into the match by cashing in his Money in the Bank contract. Rollins then pinned Reigns to take home the title.
Following up this victory, The Architect was hungry for more. He crossed paths with John Cena and the two got into a feud while Cena was the United States Champion.
This resulted in a match being between the two men for SummerSlam 2015, where both the Championships were on the line in a 'winner take all' stipulation.
The match is famous because Jon Stewart ran to the ring to help John Cena during the match, but instead attacked the Leader of Cenation, helping Rollins win the match and thus become a double champion.

#2 Second double championships - 2018
Seth Rollins was put into an interesting rivalry with Dolph Ziggler and the returning Drew McIntyre during the mid and late 2018. This resulted in Seth Rollins first winning the Championship at WrestleMania 34, then losing his Intercontinental Championship to The Showoff before finally regaining it at SummerSlam 2018.
During that time, WWE was trying to bring The Shield back together after the return of Dean Ambrose from an injury. However, a heartbreaking announcement from Roman Reigns regarding his cancer resulted in The Shield not getting in the fifth gear, and Rollins and Ambrose decided to dedicate a Raw Tag Team Championship victory to their brother.
Rollins and Ambrose defeated Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre for the red straps, but Ambrose turned on Rollins right after the match.
This marked the second time Rollins became a double champion in WWE, and he was left to defend the Raw Tag Team Titles alone after Ambrose abandoned him, which resulted in him losing the titles to the Authors of Pain after just a couple of weeks.
#3 Third double championships - 2019
Seth Rollins' fortunes did not fade after Ambrose left the company, as he went on to slay 'The Beast' Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 35 to win his first Universal Championship title. After holding the title for a few months, Rollins lost it to Lesnar again courtesy of a Money in the Bank cash-in by The Beast. But he once again returned to his most successful pay-per-view, SummerSlam to win the title for the second time.
While Rollins was already on top of the WWE ladder, the company decided that it was time to once again make Rollins the most envied Superstar in the company. On the August 19 2019 edition of Raw, Rollins teamed up with Braun Strowman to face The O.C. for the Raw Tag Team titles.
The two faces were able to overcome the heel faction, and Strowman got the pin to win himself and Rollins the flagship brand's tag team titles. This also began Rollins' third journey as a double champion in WWE.
While we aren't sure how long this Rollins and Strowman partnership will last for, it surely confirms that Rollins is the company's top and most favorite Superstar!
