5 World Champions WWE almost fired before they made it big

#2 Seth Rollins

Rollins rubbed people the wrong way in WWE

Seth Rollins joined WWE almost a decade ago after a good run with Ring of Honor (ROH). He was assigned to the WWE’s developmental territory Florida Championship Wrestling, soon after, and Rollins went on to win the FCW Florida Heavyweight Champion.

From there on, Rollins continued to dominate every single brand he was traded to, starting from NXT, where he became the only Shield member to become the NXT Champion.

He is now the most accomplished member of The Shield, as Roman Reigns and now-released Dean Ambrose have far lesser Championship victories as compared to him.

However, before Rollins gained much prominence in WWE, he was almost fired from the company during his time in the developmental brand.

Seth Rollins is one of the top Superstars in WWE today

According to reports, The Architect rubbed several people, including the coaches, the wrong way during his run in FCW and NXT and this did not settle well with the higher-ups. Just two years after his signing, he was under the radar to be fired before Triple H stepped in and sat down with the Superstar to guide him in the right direction.

Rollins has come a long way from then and is now among the top Superstars and merchandise movers in the company.
