Superstar
Since joining WWE in 2010, Rollins has done things on his own terms.
Like many claim but never accomplish, he was destined to be different,
blaze his own trail and take no prisoners along the way, even if it
meant disrespecting history. The first move on Rollins’ chess board:
become the inaugural NXT® Champion in 2012 and put everyone on high
alert. The second move: make his WWE main roster debut at Survivor
Series® later that year, align with WWE Superstars
For every calculated action and result, there is no question Rollins will prevail by any means necessary, and in doing so, embody everything it means to be like no one.
