Seth Rollins has been one of the top performers in WWE for the past decade. He is also known to be one of the safest in-ring wrestlers with excellent technical knowledge. However, two-time WWE Hall of Famer Bret “The Hitman” Hart had different opinions when Rollins was rising up the ranks on the main roster.

Seth Rollins was an established name in the independent circuit before signing with WWE. He became the first NXT Champion when the brand changed from a game show to a developmental one for WWE. He debuted on the main roster in 2012 as a member of an iconic trio along with Roman Reigns, and Dean Ambrose. They went on to become the top stars in pro wrestling.

In an interview with Alex McCarthy, Rollins talked about Bret Hart’s comments about him back in 2016. The Hitman had said during an interview that Rollins was an unsafe worker and did not care about his opponents’ well-being. In response to this, the 37-year-old said that Hart has been his idol, and Rollins has been looking up to him since his childhood.

The World Heavyweight Champion revealed that he confronted Bret Hart following his comments at a WWE Hall of Fame ceremony. He told Hart that his comments had hurt his feelings, and Hart has always been his favorite. The 65-year-old responded to Rollins by saying that he did not mean it that way.

The WWE legend also apologized for his comments and said that he did not have any intentions to hurt Rollins’ work ethic. The Visionary revealed that he was glad that he confronted Hart and that helped their relationship get better. The two have been great friends ever since and are in touch regularly.

When Seth Rollins defeated AJ Styles for the re-introduced World Heavyweight Championship, he promised that he would be a fighting champion. He also issued open challenges for his championship on Raw. The Visionary is scheduled to defend his title at Money In The Bank against Finn Balor.

During an episode of NXT, former NXT Champion Bron Breakker challenged Rollins to come down to NXT and defend his title there. The Champion would accept Breakker’s challenge and announce that he would fight him on NXT. The two had an incredible match on the latest episode of NXT and fans loved the fight that Breakker brought.

Seth Rollins retained his title but was attacked by Finn Balor, who knocked him out. This week’s edition of NXT proved a huge success as it drew unfathomable numbers in terms of viewership. The show averaged over 773,000 viewers, which was the first time since 2020. Seth Rollins was clearly the reason for the numbers.
