5 WWE Superstars whose careers were saved by other wrestlers

#1 Joey Mercury saved Seth Rollins’ WWE job

Seth Rollins’ 2015 WWE Championship reign is remembered fondly by many WWE fans – not only due to the man himself but also thanks to his two villainous sidekicks, Joey Mercury and Jamie Noble (aka J&J Security).

Speaking at Wizard World in St. Louis in 2015, Rollins revealed that Mercury played a big role in saving his WWE job after he grew frustrated of spending too long in the company’s developmental system.

Mercury “put me on the right path”, according to Rollins, who spent two years in Florida Championship Wrestling and NXT before moving to RAW and SmackDown as a member of The Shield in November 2012.

Barring injury, Rollins has almost always been involved in a storyline on WWE television ever since his call-up with Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns.

He has also won nearly everything there is to win in WWE, including the Universal Championship (x2) and the Royal Rumble (2019), while the highlight of his career came when he cashed in his Money in the Bank contract at the end of WrestleMania 31 to become WWE Champion for the first time.
