In the past few years, Tony Khan’s AEW came into existence and emerged as competition to WWE. Apart from hiring ex-WWE superstars, AEW also has several top wrestlers from around the world. Among them one is, Kenny Omega. The 39-year-old Canadian wrestler is arguably one of the best in the business currently and possesses one of the unique move-set. Omega has proven his worth in multiple promotions all over the world and is currently a top name in AEW. Recently, WWE legend and Hall of Famer Kurt Angle drew indirect comparisons with Kenny Omega. Angle would reply to a post on Twitter where both he and Omega were being compared. WHAT DID KURT ANGLE CLAIM WHILE COMPARING HIMSELF WITH KENNY OMEGA? A peak Kurt Angle versus Kenny Omega is something every wrestling fan wished they got to see. However, it is unfortunately something that they might not ever witness. Recently, on Twitter Angle chimed in on a comparison between him and Omega. [https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/kenny-omega-beard-315x315.jpg] He wrote, “That’s a tough one!!!!” The post compared Kenny Omega with a peak Kurt Angle. And indeed the comparison is one of the toughest ones. Kurt Angle as an active performer was a different breed and put on classics day in and day out. However, is Kurt Angle’s comparisons with Omega a sign of a future match?

KURT ANGLE OPENS UP HIS MIND ON THE NEW WWE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP At Night of Champions, fans saw Seth Rollins defeat AJ Styles with a stomp to win the new WWE World Heavyweight Championship. Rollins was one of the most deserving candidates for the title. However, as per Angle, the new world title is secondary to that of Roman Reigns’ titles. Speaking on his podcast, Angle opened up his mind on the new title. He said, “I like it. It has a good look to it. It looks innovative and new, it’s not old-fashioned. It’s definitely a new look. I mean, there’s no way around not thinking that the title is secondary.” Night of Champions 2023 began with Rollins versus Styles for the title in what was a dream match for many fans. With several dream matches potentially lined up for several superstars, can the fans also witness Kurt Angle versus Kenny Omega one day?

<h2>AJ Styles 2022: Net Worth, Salary, &amp; Endorsements</h2>
There are very few who can say that they are more accomplished than AJ Styles in the field of professional wrestling. ?The Phenomenal One? had seen and done it all even before <span style="font-weight: 400">joining Vince McMahon?s promotion, WWE</span><span style="font-weight: 400">.?</span>

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://i.pinimg.com/originals/d1/88/c6/d188c6f59d23c6b24e60e99b8a147174.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="675" data-noaft="1" />

With an array of skills, talents, and experience beyond his years, AJ Styles is inarguably one of WWE?s biggest assets. His performances have been lauded by WWE legends including The Undertaker himself.<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>

Before finally making it to WWE, Styles had a long career as a professional wrestler through various promotions. Everyone already knew who AJ Styles was.<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://i.pinimg.com/originals/20/a9/63/20a9632eee57a35967eb541b449fdb4b.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="675" data-noaft="1" />
<h2>History<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span></h2>
<h3>Early Career<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span></h3>
At the young age of 21, Styles entered the world of professional wrestling. He wrestled for NWA-based promotions and less notable promotions with a masked gimmick.

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://www.wwe.com/f/styles/wwe_16_9_s/public/video/thumb/2016/01/AJstyles_inferno_012716.png" alt="" width="640" height="360" data-noaft="1" />

However, natural talent saw Styles rise up the pecking order. His performances soon caught the eye of WCW, and the company even offered him a contract.<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>

Styles appeared on one episode of Nitro, where he lost a tag team match in an ongoing tournament. He later appeared for a WWF tryout but was not offered a contract despite winning his match.<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://www.wrestleview.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/aj-styles-in-nwa-wildside.jpg" alt="" width="700" height="394" data-noaft="1" />

He was once more offered a choice to continue in WWF but had to relocate to a development territory in another state.

Due to the interference with his wife?s college schedule, Styles turned down the offer and continued wrestling on the independent scene.<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>
<h3>ROH<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span></h3>
Styles got a foothold in ROH by quickly rising to the top of approval ratings. He was used as the main card performer and had several championship shots.<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://i.imgur.com/fzzlJr3.jpg" alt="" width="564" height="376" data-noaft="1" />

Styles competed across various formats, engaging in major singles feuds as well as Tag Team ones. Attracting a lot of eyeballs to the nascent promotion, Styles had a major showdown with a young CM Punk.

He managed to beat Punk twice, with the second match involving Ricky Steamboat as Guest Referee.<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://www.ringsidenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/aj-styles-cm-punk-8.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="500" data-noaft="1" />
<h3>TNA<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span></h3>
AJ Styles took his popularity to another level at TNA where he made ripples into waves. Quickly making his presence felt, Styles became the first X-Division Champion.<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://www.ewrestlingnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/aj-styles-x-division-champion-1931392-1280x720.jpg" alt="" width="1280" height="720" data-noaft="1" />

Unlike other belts, it was the wrestler that made the belt known, and Styles elevated the status of the X Division Championship. He went on to conquer a series of belts during his time in TNA.<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>

?The Phenomenal One? found himself alongside WWE legends such as Kurt Angle, Booker T, Jeff Hardy, and Christian. He would also compete with future stars such as Samoa Joe.

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://www.wrestlerant.com/uploads/5/7/3/2/5732092/9217654_orig.jpg?342" alt="" width="750" height="500" data-noaft="1" />

While the former WWE stars like Jeff Hardy often took the driver's seat, Styles proved his mettle time and again by giving them wrestling of the highest quality.<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>

He even had a memorable Tag Team run with Kurt Angle and was widely praised for his work then. Styles was the face of TNA at one point and became the dominant Champion during all his reigns.<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://www.ewrestlingnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/ajstyles-1280x720.jpg" alt="" width="1280" height="720" data-noaft="1" />

While Styles had a lot of forgettable moments like being the protege of Ric Flair, he was a star and a living legend in TNA. His work with former WWE Superstars got him a lot of attention from the fans and critics.<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>

AJ Styles had a number of appearances in Mexican and Japanese Wrestling promotions as part of TNA partnerships that further elevated his skills. The diversity of moves at his disposal increased.<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://www.ringsidenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/aj-styles-jeff-hardy-488-600x375.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="375" data-noaft="1" />

After nearly 12 years at TNA, Styles parted ways with the promotion. There were reports that negotiations had broken down early on. Styles later revealed that the new contract offer <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/wwe-news-they-wanted-me-to-take-less-money-aj-styles-reveals-why-he-parted-ways-with-tna/">involved</a>?reducing his salary by 60%.<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>
<h3>Return to ROH, NJPW, and Independent Scene</h3>
Styles briefly returned to ROH for two years and began competing regularly. He also competed in the Independent scene during this time and worked every chance he got.<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://d2isjg8ovcm7q0.cloudfront.net/sites/default/files/styles/roh_slider/public/aj1.jpg" alt="" width="1600" height="691" data-noaft="1" />

Appearing across various promotions, Styles made it to Chikara, CZW, and Revolution Pro Wrestling. He took his services to England as well where he had a match against Lionheart.<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>

Styles even went all the way to Japan to compete in the NJPW. There, he beat Tanahashi and Shinsuke Nakamura respectively to become a two-time IWGP World Heavyweight Champion.<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-CkcWNz8I58k/Vx0vqmL3yoI/AAAAAAAAAU4/1UT5iw4iG7o78Hdt3GKz6dM82ija8TUVQCLcB/s1600/AJ-Styles-IWGP.jpg" alt="" width="960" height="640" data-noaft="1" />

At this point, ?The Phenomenal One? had developed top-level skills and different wrestling styles. In fact, he was being recognized as the best professional wrestler in the world.

He was beyond his time in experience and finally caught the eye of WWE who immediately sought his services.<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>
<h3>WWE</h3>
AJ Styles finally found himself in the biggest scene at WWE. Styles made an epic <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubZR-cfkSDQ" target="_blank" rel="noopener">debut</a> at Royal Rumble in 2016 which earned him one of the biggest crowd pops in WWE history.

The debut was named the best of the decade by WWE.<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://www.wwe.com/f/styles/og_image/public/2019/02/ajstyles--1dc3279de967216d4f52838f36f379aa.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="675" data-noaft="1" />

Styles went on to be a major PPV contender and ignited a feud against Chris Jericho himself as his first major storyline. Styles went on to make an explosive first appearance at WrestleMania, where he faced off against Jericho.<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>

Styles then set his sights on the gold. After defeating John Cena twice in two dream matches, Styles went on to challenge Dean Ambrose (now Jon Moxley) for his WWE World Championship. After a 140 day-reign, Styles lost the title to Cena, ending their feud.<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://talksport.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2020/07/ena-styles.jpg?strip=all&amp;w=960&amp;quality=100" alt="" width="960" height="540" data-noaft="1" />

?The New Face of WWE? then went on to have a memorable feud against Shane McMahon that went on to WrestleMania 33 and a successive feud with Kevin Owens in which Styles ended up winning the United States Championship.<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>
<h3>Year-long WWE Championship reign</h3>
<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/zpQSX8OEpdW9rX_qrDZgqqRN4yc=/0x0:1200x675/1200x800/filters:focal(751x247:943x439)/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_image/image/58020967/180_COC_12172017ej_4966__c9809ba566b8290d943700769ca176b0.0.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="800" data-noaft="1" />

AJ Styles managed to win the WWE Championship once more by taking down Jinder Mahal. He then went on to the biggest challenge of his career in Brock Lesnar at Survivor Series.<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>

?The Phenomenal One? gave fans the best showdown they had witnessed in recent years as he faced ?The Beast Incarnate? Brock Lesnar.

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://i.pinimg.com/originals/00/4b/b8/004bb8a0f9571b51a9d938c0aa39a05b.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="1200" data-noaft="1" />

Despite being the visible underdog in the match, Styles did his best damage and surprised a lot of fans. Unfortunately, the relentless force in Lesnar overpowered Styles. The loss was actually a win, as AJ Styles was now known far and wide for his talent.<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>

The Superstar went on to hold the WWE Championship for over a year. He lost the title against Daniel Bryan on an episode of SmackDown, ending his reign at a massive 371 days.

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://wrestlingworld.co/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Styles.png" alt="" width="920" height="615" data-noaft="1" />
<h3>Feud with The Undertaker</h3>
Styles found himself at a new height when he ignited a feud against The Undertaker himself. ?The Deadman? neared the end of his career, and Styles in his heel role was becoming the talk of the WWE Universe.<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/OX1OFJhJGa8/maxresdefault.jpg" alt="" width="1280" height="720" data-noaft="1" />

The two had a long feud that was supposed to end at Clash of Champions but went on to WrestleMania! AJ Styles fought ?The Deadman? in the first-ever Cinematic match and made his mark in WWE history.<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>

Later, The Undertaker announced his retirement from WWE. This meant that AJ Styles is the last man to ever face ?The Deadman?, a fitting end to a long and illustrious career. This is yet another badge on the brilliant run of Styles.<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://fansided.com/files/2020/04/WM36_HM_28886.jpg" alt="" width="3871" height="2581" data-noaft="1" />

The Intercontinental Championship found Styles tussling with Sami Zayn and Jeff Hardy in a feud that would end up in Zayn?s favor. Styles was then drafted to Raw, the brand on which he performs today.<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>

Styles led his team to victory at Survivor Series when Team Raw defeated Team SmackDown with ease. He roamed Raw with a humongous bodyguard called Omos, who kept the enemies away quite effectively.<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">With his new partner Omos, AJ Styles started dominating the Raw tag division. The biggest prize for the duo came when they </span><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQrIqJH4uLk"><span style="font-weight: 400">won </span></a><span style="font-weight: 400">the Raw Tag Team titles at </span><span style="font-weight: 400">WrestleMania 37. The duo kept the title around their waists for a total of 133 days, before dropping the titles to </span><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lt9jPH7vVK8"><span style="font-weight: 400">Rk-Bro </span></a><span style="font-weight: 400">at the SummerSlam PPV.</span>

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://i1.wp.com/www.theilluminerdi.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Aj-and-Omos.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="675" data-noaft="1" />

Following that, Styles and Omos faced RK-Bro in a rematch at Crown Jewel and lost again. Omos and Styles broke up after Omos attacked Styles on the December 20 episode of Raw.
<h2>AJ Styles 2022 Achievements<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span></h2>

Colby Daniel Lopez, better known by his ring name Seth Rollins, is a professional wrestler currently signed to World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE). Rollins is a part of the new generation of WWE wrestlers who have proven their mettle on the independent circuit. He is the <span style="font-weight: 400">current World Heavyweight Champion, which is his 5th world title in the WWE.</span>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Seth Rollins’ early life</b></h2>
Rollins was born on May 28, 1986, and has Holly Franklin and Ron Lopez as his mother and stepfather. The wrestler did not have any interaction with his biological father and it was only his stepfather who fulfilled the role of a father figure in his life. To showcase his love and respect towards Ron Lopez, Seth decided to adopt his surname and thus became Colby Daniel Lopez. The wrestler has a brother and sister named Brandon Lopez and Diandra Demi Lopez.

Meanwhile, it was in 2019 that Rollins decided to undergo DNA testing only to find out that he had another elder brother and sister. He took to Twitter to share his joy with his followers but the wrestler has kept the details of his long-lost siblings under wraps. Also, he has been a huge fan of rock music since his childhood and thus his ring name Seth Rollins pays tribute to the famous former Black Flag singer Henry Rollins. Speaking of the Davenport native's education, he graduated in 2004 from the Davenport West High School while his wrestling training took place in Illinois.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Seth Rollins’ wife and children</b></h2>

<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Seth Rollins net worth 2024</b></h2>
As per Zacjohnson.com, the net worth of Seth Rollins stands at a staggering $12 million. His income comes from his wrestling and movie endeavors. The <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/wrestling/wwe/wwe-news-from-being-part-of-hollywood-to-ranking-one-on-pwi-five-hundred-how-much-does-seth-rollins-earn-in-a-year/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrestler earns $3 million per year from WWE</a>, while he also gets a handsome amount from WWE promotions and WWE stock.

<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Seth Rollins' career timeline</b></h2>
Long before Rollins was running through WWE competition, he was a top star for Ring Of Honor, a small American wrestling promotion with a cult following. Alongside him were big names like Daniel Bryan, <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/aj-styles/">AJ Styles</a>, and Roderick Strong. Back then, he was known as Tyler Black and had a 210-day reign with the World Championship.

Rollins made his WWE debut with its developmental territory, Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW). After impressing with his immaculate wrestling skills and affable personality, WWE made him the inaugural NXT champion. The company saw him as their future. Hence, after he dropped his NXT title to Big E, he made his WWE main roster debut as a part of one of the most dominant groups in its history - The Shield. The group also comprised Dean Ambrose and <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/roman-reigns/">Roman Reigns</a>.

Their feud with the legendary WWE faction evolution pushed them to the stratosphere. However, soon after, Seth Rollins completed one of the biggest heel turns in WWE history when he betrayed his Shield brothers to join hands with The Authority led by <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/triple-h/">Triple H</a>. The resultant heel turn made Seth Rollins a superstar, and he soon became the WWE Champion. He had a feud with big names like <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/john-cena">John Cena</a>, Kane, and even a debuting Sting. After a knee injury that sidelined him for almost a year, Rollins returned to a big ovation.

He soon turned Babyface and became one of the biggest stars of the company. However, he turned heel after a dominant run. As 'The Monday Night Messiah', Rollins took on a sort of cult role, forming his divine partnership with Murphy. The two indulged in rituals and incurred the wrath of Rey Mysterio when they blinded him in one eye following a fight. With the help of his son Dominik, Rey Mysterio managed to topple Rollins and put down the Monday/Friday Night Messiah once and for all.

Rollins took a break from wrestling after this storyline to take care of his newborn daughter with his wife Becky Lynch. Since his return to the main roster, Rollins wasted no time in getting into the main event picture and almost won the Money in the Bank ladder match.

From time to time, Rollins has managed to keep himself fresh with the WWE Universe. In 2021, he entered into a legendary feud with the WWE Hall of Famer Edge, which ended in a brutal Hell in a Cell match at the Crown Jewel PPV in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. At Survivor Series, Rollins was a part of Team Raw for the traditional 5-on-5 elimination match where he was the sole survivor and helped attain victory for Raw.
