Major WWE star aspires to be a workhorse champion like Seth Rollins
Seth Rollins set a high benchmark in WWE as the inaugural World Heavyweight Champion of the Modern Era. Meanwhile, a major star aspires to be a workhorse like The Visionary after WrestleMania XL.
Seth Rollins' reign as the World Heavyweight Champion ended at WrestleMania in Philadelphia when Drew McIntyre won the title. However, Damian Priest seized the moment when The Scottish Warrior was obsessing over CM Punk and won the title.
The Archer of Infamy rules the men's division on Monday Night RAW alongside The Judgment Day. Speaking on The Rob Brown Show, Priest expressed his interest in becoming a worthy champion, as he aspires to be a workhorse like Seth Rollins when The Visionary was the World Heavyweight Champion.
"For me, right now, I want to be that type of champion that, like Seth Rollins was, you know, a workhorse. I want to defend the title; I want to take on everyone and anyone at any point. When it comes to the roster, I want a piece of everybody. I want a piece of everybody, you know, it's usually the opposite," Priest said. (From 2:42:13 to 2:42:36)
The Archer of Infamy has nothing but respect for the former champion and hopes to carry the title's legacy as a workhorse champion.
Seth Rollins reportedly signed a new deal with WWE
Seth Rollins put it all on the line at WrestleMania in Philadelphia as he became Cody Rhodes' 'Shield' against The Bloodline. The Visionary's future was uncertain, as he had not signed a new deal with WWE.
During the two-night event at Lincoln Financial Field, Seth Rollins lost the World Heavyweight Championship and finished his task of helping Cody Rhodes before going on a hiatus for a while.
According to Fightful Select, Seth Rollins has re-signed a multi-year deal with the company. The report states the deal involved big money, and the promotion had no plans to let the star leave the company.
However, there's no report on if or when Becky Lynch will sign a new deal, as her contract was set to expire around the same time as Rollins' old deal. It will be interesting to see if The Man remains or leaves WWE in the coming weeks.
Becky Lynch is the current Women's World Champion of Monday Night RAW and is set to defend her title in Saudi Arabia at WWE King & Queen of the Ring 2024 against Liv Morgan.
