Ranking every former NXT Champion's run on the main roster so far

#1 Seth Rollins

No one can question the Architect's accomplishments in the WWE

Despite spending a minimal amount of time in NXT, Seth Rollins was the first NXT champion. The majority of the years Seth Rollins spent in WWE developmental was in NXT's predecessor, FCW.

Seth Rollins and his former Shield teammates Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose took the main roster by storm in 2012 by powerbombing Ryback and declaring themselves to be "the Hounds of Justice". The Shield quickly won the Raw Tag Team Championship and the U.S. Championship in 2013.

However, what propelled Rollins into a momentous push was breaking away from the Shield in 2014, where he then won Money in the Bank and historically cashed it in on Wrestlemania 35, winning the WWE Championship, and holding it for 221 days.

The "Kingslayer" continued to win championships in the forms of the U.S. Championship and the WWE Championship a second time. However, in 2017, many fans were wondering if the Architect had already peaked in his career in 2015. Despite winning the Raw Tag Team Championship with Ambrose and Jason Jordan, fans were not as invested in Rollins as before.

The "Architect" quickly turned it all around at Wrestlemania 34, where he won the Intercontinental Championship and became a Grand Slam Champion. The WWE Universe could tell that the passion and fire had returned in Seth Rollins and today he is one of the biggest WWE main roster superstars and will continue to win accolades and championships and "Burn It Down".
