Just hours away from his 37th birthday, Seth Rollins received a memorable gift from WWE. The Visionary became the inaugural title holder of the newly unveiled World Heavyweight Championship after he defeated AJ Styles at the Night of Champions in Saudi Arabia. However, as per the stipulation, Rollins will now have to defend his belt without any prior notice. This requires him to work differently than past and present champions and so far, The Monday Night Messiah is headed in the right direction.

Recently, Rollins revealed his future plans in the promotion, and fans couldn’t help but poke fun at another superstar.

Fans come down hard on Roman Reigns

Fans have often accused Roman Reigns, the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion, of being reluctant to defend his belt. Despite his record-breaking 1,000-day run as a champion, a common criticism that The Tribal Chief endures is hand-picking his opponents. During his recent chat with WWE’s The Bump, Rollins himself accused his former Shield mate of it.

On the other hand, Rollins has already had a title defense match so far. On Saturday Night’s Main Event in White Plains, the World Heavyweight Champion defended his title against The Miz. He is set to have another bout on the upcoming episode of RAW, against Damian Priest. He has also revealed his entire schedule for the month of June, on social media.

According to it, Rollins is set to appear in 12 events. Fans just couldn’t keep calm. While they praised him, shots were simultaneously fired at Reigns.

This fan really tried to rub it in.

Shots fired.

That is not the acknowledgment The Tribal Chief asked for.

Talk about killing two birds with one stone.

Someone’s keeping a count.

Meanwhile, the new heavyweight champion had shown a glimpse of his title run during the aforementioned chat.

Seth Rollins reveals the nature of his reign

Just days after his title win, Seth Rollins was busy training future pro-wrestling prospects, showing his dedication towards the craft. The 37-year-old will need to grind hard as per the strict stipulation of his belt. That said, Rollins is not afraid to meet the challenge head-on.

Speaking to The Bump, he said, “I don’t care if it’s SmackDown, RAW, NXT, I don’t care if it’s from anywhere across the globe.” Rollins further said that he was waiting for people to call him out for the match. He spoke about raising the scene and vowed to have a different run than Reigns.

Ironically, Rollins is also filming a movie. While he has had several movie credits in the past, this one is bigger. It marks his Marvel debut and places him in the big leagues, alongside hallowed colleagues Dwayne Johnson, John Cena, and Dave Bautista. Rollins has weighed in on the full-time vs part-time performer debate several times. He has been critical of Logan Paul in the past, owing to the latter’s part-time contract in WWE. Now, he himself risks being one, much like the wrestler-turned-actor trifecta.

But, for now, he has a busy schedule and hopefully will compete in all 12 events. Did his future plans excite you? Let us know in the comments.
