#2. Seth Rollins was almost fired before he became the WWE NXT Champion
Seth Rollins is one of the biggest main-eventers WWE has today. His career took off during his time in NXT, where he was the inaugural champion.
Rollins is one of the best in-ring workers in the industry today. Even though he's extremely talented, his attitude almost got him fired from early on. In an interview with WWE.com, Rollins spoke about his position in WWE and how close he was to being fired:

“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.”
Triple H stepped in and made Rollins realize that he needed to change his attitude if he wanted to make it big in the company:
“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.”
The Architect pushed Triple H to make him the inaugural NXT Champion if he wanted to make his brand take off. Hunter agreed, and the decision helped NXT reach new heights. WWE made a wise decision by not firing Seth Rollins early in his career.
