He came from the independent scene with long black locks and a fierce snarl. Utilizing a mix of stiff striking, technical wrestling and a mean streak a mile wide, he quickly rose to the top of the independent wrestling scene and beyond.
In ROH he was known as Tyler Black. He captured both the coveted Ring of Honor world title and the tag team titles during his tenure. Rollins developed a reputation as a man who could go out and put on a stellar match in spite of injuries or a weak angle.
Sportskeeda is the one-stop destination for latest WWE rumors and wrestling news.
It was little surprise when the WWE snapped him up in 2010, and he quickly became a grand slam champion on FCW. When that promotion morphed into NXT, he also won that world title as well.
His career resume is the envy of many other athletes, but is he the man to beat Brock Lesnar?
Here are five reasons why that might be the case.
#1 Collecting belts are what he's best at
When wrestling promotions can't wait to put their gold around your waist, you must be something special.
Seth Rollins ends up with the gold everywhere he wrestles. It doesn't matter if he's on Raw, ROH, PWG, FCW or Smackdown, sooner or later Seth is going to end up with a championship.
Brock's Universal title might just be up next on his list of conquests.
#2 The bigger they are, the more he likes it
Seth Rollins may not be the largest wrestler on WWE's roster, but he's far from a pushover.
He will match his skills against any opponent, even giants like Kane and Braun Strowman. With his outstanding athletic acumen, he is capable of taking down an opponent of any size or shape. In fact, it's when the odds are seemingly stacked against him that Seth turns it up another notch.
#3 He has the experience edge
Brock Lesnar may have debuted earlier, but he has spent many years either not involved in pro wrestling or only wrestling part-time.
Contrast that to Seth Rollins, who has wrestled more than three hundred days a year, every year, since he began his career. Simply put, Seth has more experience in more types of matches against more varied opposition than Lesnar could dream of.
His experience might be the edge he needs to take down the Beast Incarnate.
#4 The fans rally behind him
Most fans are familiar with WWE's headaches involving getting Roman Reigns and John Cena over with the entire audience. Those two athletes strain to get the same wall to wall cheers that superstars such as Hulk Hogan and Ultimate Warrior enjoyed.
But Rollins appeals to a wide swath of the modern wrestling audience. The hardcore wrestling fans appreciate his climb through the indies and his Ring of Honor days, while the more casual fans are smitten with his tremendous athleticism and exciting ring style.
Even the women and children--the only segment who seem to care for Cena or Reigns--are enthralled with Seth Rollins. If WWE wants a champion the universe can get behind, they need look no further than Seth Rollins.
#5 Lesnar's reign has become stale
With all respect to Brock Lesnar, his tenure as Universal Champion has grown rather stale. His part-time schedule means he can't be deeply involved in the match build up or more intricate storylines. Also, his ring skills have grown rusty due to the large amounts of time spent outside of wrestling, and he isn't the dynamic, exciting Beast he was ten years ago.
Seth Rollins is in his prime, the fans are behind him, and he has everything it takes to be a great Universal champion. It just might be time to crown a new king of Raw, and that King could be Seth Rollins.
