Seth Rollins: 5 Things wrestling fans don't know 

#1 He has struggled with contentment

WWE Universal Champion 'The Architect' Seth Rollins

In his twenties, Seth Rollins lacked contentment, not that it was necessarily a bad thing. Rollins was driven and relentlessly pursued his dreams. Hellbent on perfecting his craft, he became one of the best professional wrestlers in the world, but wasn't happy.

Rollins explained,

"When I got to that point [of being on top] I immediately asked, 'What's next?' Then, I was lost because I had dedicated basically my entire adult life to getting to that moment. What's next? Do I stay here? There was no feeling of like, 'Now I've done it. Things are great. I'll be here for the next thirty of forty years and then I'll die.' I don't know. There's no contentment. There was no moment. There was no, 'This is it. I've won the World Series. I won the Super Bowl. I won the World Title at WrestleMania.' I did it and it was cool, but I was like, 'What's next?'"

Despite reaching the pinnacle of his profession, Rollins was unable to find what he was looking for. This prompted Rollins to engage in some serious self-reflection. He repeatedly questioned himself and came to the conclusion that he didn't really know who he was.

After coming to terms with everything, he began to make changes,

"In a sense, I was trapped in that bubble of, 'This is all I want. That's all I wanted.' I didn't want anything else and I would have sacrificed anything else, personally, to get to that point. When I got to that point, I achieved my goal, and I was the top guy in the profession I had chosen. I thought that would give me everything I wanted. It has not. It left me unfulfilled and now we've got to figure this out."

Although he admits to not having things entirely figured out just yet, he's currently in a much better place.
