It’s been a happy hour for Seth Rollins in the WWE as he has won his first singles championship since his Universal Championship loss in 2019. It seems that Rollins has got his next challenger too, as Mustafa Ali confronted Rollins and attacked him on the October 17th edition of RAW.

Thereafter, on the October 24th edition of RAW, Seth Rollins and Ali were involved in a brawl after Ali lost the match against Austin Theory. As of now, there hasn’t been any update on a possible match between Ali and Rollins for the US Championship.

During a recent edition of The Kurt Angle Show, Angle compared Rollins with The Heartbreak Kid, Shawn Michaels. He said that Rollins will be undoubtedly the next Shawn Michaels, but he is still not at that level as Shawn’s career spanned 30 something years.

“You know what? It’s not too much of a leap to say that he is the next Shawn Michaels. I believe he will be eventually. He is not there yet because Shawn put in a lot more years. So, you know, 30-something years.”
