"The Pivot" was a great opportunity for Seth Rollins to reflect on what's been happening in WWE and share his impressions of the current season, which is almost coming to an end. The 38-year-old wrestler is satisfied with the current situation, highlighting that names like his own, Cody Rhodes, Sami Zayn, and others are doing an excellent job as babyfaces. The new era of wrestling is unique in many ways, but the most important thing is that the fans love what is being done. Rollins wants things to continue flowing in the same rhythm moving forward.
“Some of our bigger booms have been with face champions. You look at the last four years, Roman Reigns has been the guy, the Tribal Chief, and he’s been the biggest heel. Right now, we’re riding with Cody Rhodes and we’re sort of in this era of babyfaces. You have guys like myself, Cody, Randy Orton, Sami Zayn, Roman is back as a babyface. You have this era where everything is clicking and people are loving so much of what is going on."-Rhodes said, as quoted by Pwmania.
Seth Rollins explained that he’s been noticing a lack of strong heels (villains) in WWE right now. He pointed out that wrestling goes through cycles, and you have to adapt to whatever is happening at the time, making the best of the situation to maximize opportunities. He also mentioned how some of the biggest names in wrestling history; like Hulk Hogan, Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels, and Bruno Sammartino; helped drive massive success in the business, largely because they were top babyfaces (heroes). In other words, the biggest draws in the industry have often been the good guys, and that’s something he sees as a key factor in WWE’s success.
WWE often changes its philosophy and ideas from year to year, and it seems that the company’s leaders want to continue this trend moving forward. The goal is to adapt to new and old audiences, presenting them with things they never could have imagined. Over the years, a lot of interesting things have happened in WWE, and this kind of innovation should become a regular part of the company’s approach. Seth Rollins could very well be one of the key figures shaping WWE's future.
Seth Rollins stressed that he loves wrestling; everything about it. He enjoys coming up with new ideas and the thrill of performing. But when the time comes for him to slow down in the ring, he sees himself moving into a behind-the-scenes role, similar to what Triple H has done.
While he might try his hand at movies or other projects here and there, his main focus will be to help WWE continue to grow. Rollins knows he's closer to the end of his in-ring career than the beginning, but when that time comes, he’s confident there will still be a place for him in WWE. He sees this as the path he wants to follow moving forward.
38-year-old wants to make the most of the time he has left in his career to give WWE everything it needs to continue progressing. Even after his wrestling days are over, Rollins has exciting plans for the future, and there’s no doubt that WWE’s leaders could offer him an important role. Seth is a highly creative individual, full of ideas, and someone who could truly help open a new chapter for the company.
Seth Rollins: I feel like I’m just hitting my prime
It is also interesting to point out that Rollins was optimistic about his career and form a few months ago, pointing out that he is only now in his prime. The 38-year-old pointed out that he is only now in his prime, but he again shared the same opinion, which is that there is certainly less time ahead of him than behind him when it comes to his WWE career.
“I mean, I feel like I’m just hitting my prime. Let’s make that clear. I feel like I’m just starting my prime. But yeah, I do think more of my career is in the past than in the future. That’s no doubt.”
Seth Rollins shared that he's been reflecting a lot on his legacy and what he wants to leave behind in wrestling. He’s focused on winning the World Heavyweight Championship, seeing it as an important addition to his legacy. Rollins is determined to continue building on everything he has already accomplished in his career, aiming to add even more to his storied legacy moving forward.
We will enjoy what is left of his career, and we have no doubt that Seth will offer us a lot in the coming period.
