Since signing a WWE developmental contract in 2010, Seth Rollins had many high-profile feuds and has recently named his favorite match.
In the past near-thirteen years of Seth Rollins in WWE, he has been two-time WWE Champion, WWE Universal Champion, Intercontinental and United States Champion.
He’s also held the WWE Tag Team Championship on six separate occasions and was the inaugural NXT Champion.
Now, Rollins has added another milestone to his impressive record being the inaugural WWE World Heavyweight Champion.
With such a history in the company, Rollins was recently asked about his favorite match on the Impaulsive podcast, saying:
“Hard. I’ve done like, according to the interwebs I’ve had like 2000 matches, so it’s really hard for me to like, pick one, and I’m a pretty harsh critic of myself so I very rarely watch anything back.”
The host of the show, Logan Paul, would mention match in which Rollins cashed in his Money in the Bank briefcase at WrestleMania 31.
At the 2015 show, Rollins would cash in during the main event between Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns.
Reflecting on that moment, Rollins went on to say:
“Yeah, that’s the defining one right, that’s the one that changed my career. Without that Money In The Bank contract, and without that particular cash in, I’m probably not sat here having this conversation with you. So that’s the one that stands out, I think. That’s the one that’s going to like, live forever.
“I think in this industry it’s really about moments, I don’t want to toot my own horn but I have great matches every week, all the time. I’m not saying like ‘oh I’m so great!’ I’m just, I’m in a groove, the crowd is with me, we understand each other, there’s a good synergy so I can have a good match and they’ll be forgotten about in an instant.”
Rollins would go on to discuss the need for high points in the wrestling business, stating:
“The business is really about moments that can last forever. You know, WrestleMania, what’s a moment? How do we splash KSI through a table, how do we put him through a table? These are things that, what is the audience going to keep in their mind for more than 24 hours, because, especially in the age of content, where everything, I’ve heard like media executives mention this, but everything is competition when it comes to media because it’s all this one, it’s way saturated, and WWE is the king of content, we have so much content, so you have to go ‘how do you make moments that are going to last for any amount of time, that are going to register with people for years’.”
Returning his attention to his cash-in at WrestleMania, Rollins concluded:
“The cash-in at WrestleMania is the one where like, I had a guy tell me a few years ago that for him, it was like his generation’s version of Hogan slamming Andre at WrestleMania III.
“So I go ‘that’s cool’. Hogan and Andre, I was too young for that, but you know the picture, everything, you know it. 93,000, Pontiac Silverdome, main event, biggest WrestleMania, we have that one, like Hogan and Warrior WrestleMania VI, Shawn Michaels and Bret Hart WrestleMania 12, Rock and Hogan WrestleMania 18, like there’s all these big ones, and to be included in that, that you know it’s going to last for generations, very few people get the opportunity to create moments like that in our industry.
“To be part of that, like I said, if I didn’t have that, we wouldn’t be sitting here having this conversation.”
