He was a guest on WWE After The Bell podcast hosted by Corey Graves. The Canadian icon discussed a variety of topics while on the episode including who he thinks is closer to him in terms of style.
He said, “I mean, I think Seth Rollins is a guy that, we’ll never be fully through with each other. Like, he is the Rated R Superstar of now. He is firmly his own thing don’t get me wrong. He has carved his own path.”
“To me he’s also possibly the most entertaining thing on our shows,” the former Brood member added. It would not be an understatement to say that Seth Rollins deserves all the plaudits that have come his way.
And it becomes all the sweeter when it comes from the legendary wrestler.

He has been a level above the rest in getting over with the audience.
Rollins has become the kind of performer that is loved by the fans regardless of whether he portrays a negative or positive character. Much like how Edge fared when he was loved by the majority of quarters even after being a heel character. The legend is right to compare himself with Rollins as there is some kind of similarity in their career trajectories. Both the stars’ paths look to be set for WrestleMania 39.
