WWE Photo Gallery: Seth Rollins' journey

(All photo credits go to the WWE)

On his 30th birthday, here are the photos that define Seth “frickin” Rollins

Over the past year and a half, much of the spotlight has been on Seth Rollins

Unbridled Intensity

Backed up by awe-inspiring ring prowess

He has always been involved with championships

Even before setting foot on WWE soil

He stood out as part of the Shield in the ring

And created a niche for himself outside of it even after the stable broke

But success never came easy

And often times he had to climb mountains to attain his goals

But in the end it was all worth it

Through the pain

And disappointments

Often braving hell in his journey

He achieved what he had set out to

He had set his sights on his goals

In pursuit of which even his bretheren were dispensable

Some times it was all fun and games,

But most of the times it was all business

To ultimately gain what he coveted the most

No challenge was too high to hurdle

Enjoying indescribable moments of adulation

And joy along the way

But his focus was unwavering

On the way to achieve what he ultimately coveted

And even when he finally managed to capture it

His intensity was unrelenting

Putting his body through every rigour

To hang on to his prized possession

Pulling out all the stops against some of the best competitors in the industry

Being the WWE Champion has its perks

And it’s downside, as seen here by two brothers in battle

But ultimately, Rollins always found a way to prevail

The battles he had may have takenb everything out of him, but not his WWE World Heavyweight Title

He has always been a risk taker

But he did it with style

And he almost always emerged victorious
