5 current WWE Superstars who were almost fired while in NXT

#4 Former WWE Champion Seth Rollins

Seth Rollins is now a former WWE Champion and has proved his worth over the past few years. However, there was a time when The Messiah was stuck down in developmental and was becoming frustrated with what he was being given by the company.

Rollins revealed in an interview with WWE.com a few years ago that there was a time when he became so frustrated that he almost lost his job and it was Triple H who helped him remain part of the company.

“I literally almost lost my job. I had been there for almost two years. I was very frustrated. I couldn’t get along with anyone. I thought I deserved more than I did...We sat down and talked for a good couple hours. That was an eye-opener for me, I think, in a lot of ways, because it really felt like that was going to be it. And if I don’t do this now [and] make this work now, I may not get another chance.”

Rollins recently made his return to the company following paternity leave, where the former WWE Champion and his fiance, Becky Lynch, welcomed their daughter, Roux.
