Seth Rollins, widely regarded as the Visionary of WWE, has been a dominant force in the company since his debut over a decade ago. He has consistently impressed fans and critics alike with his in-ring performances and charismatic persona. Rollins has been proud to call himself a fighting champion, a moniker that suggests a willingness to put his title on the line at a moment’s notice. However, not everyone is convinced by Rollins’ claim.
Vince Russo, a former WWE writer, recently took to Legion of RAW to express his doubts about Rollins’ status as a fighting champion. Russo pointed out that Rollins had already planned to take a night off from wrestling, despite having an open challenge to defend his title. According to Russo, this was not the behavior of a true fighting champion. Instead, Rollins was behaving like a champion who was happy to coast and not put his title in danger.

Russo’s criticism of Rollins was not limited to his actions on the night of the show. He also took issue with Rollins’ claim that he would defend his title 24/7, suggesting that this was nothing more than hype and not backed up by actual actions. Russo called out Rollins for being fake and unwilling to put his title on the line when and where it mattered most.
Rollins’ next title defense is scheduled to take place at the Money In The Bank Premium Live Event, where he will face off against Finn Balor. Will Rollins be able to silence his critics and prove that he is, in fact, a fighting champion? Only time will tell.
It remains to be seen whether Rollins will be able to justify his claim of being a fighting champion in the eyes of his critics. Some fans may agree with Russo’s assessment, while others may see Rollins as a true pioneer of the fighting champion tradition. One thing is certain, however – Rollins will have the opportunity to prove himself once again in the ring, and the outcome will be eagerly awaited by fans around the world.
