Seth Rollins’ last run at the top of the card came in 2019 when he was Universal Champion. His impressive 2019 began with him winning the men’s Royal Rumble match and later defeating Brock Lesnar twice in the same year.
However, things soured for Rollins during a feud with Bray Wyatt in the latter half of the year. But, through some stark character reinvention, Rollins is once again receiving the adulation of the fans, in spite of the often over-the-top nature of his current on-screen persona.
Foley sees similarities between Rollins’ current character to that of a WWE Hall of Famer.
“He reminds me of Edge. At the peak of Edge’s character prowess, where he just bit into everything, he did it with gusto. It didn’t matter how silly it was, he was going to make the very most out of it,” he said. “In the beginning, the new Seth Rollins seemed to be a little silly, and he just kept going with it, believing it. I don’t watch wrestling nearly as much as I used to, but I watch it enough to know that this guy is at a point where it’s the perfect marriage of in-ring talent and character.”
