Seth Rollins and AJ Styles were the finalists to compete for the World Heavyweight Championship. At Night of Champions, Rollins came out victorious after a hard-fought battle with Styles. After his win, Triple H crowned him as the new champion.

Now, mere days after winning the new title, he is already making his presence known. Out of all the people in WWE, he chose to take a dig at the superstar, who is at the top of the WWE food chain right now. Yes, he recently went after Roman Reigns and he went hard.

This is not the first time he talked about his aversion to Reigns, despite loving him like a brother. Let’s find out what he had to say.

Seth Rollins explains the importance of the new World Heavyweight title

‘The Visionary’ recently appeared as a guest on WWE The Bump podcast. During his interview, he took shots at ‘The Tribal Chief’. He indirectly pointed out that ever since Reigns seized the undisputed titles, he has not been a fighting champion. He rarely fights these days and only graces the squared circle when he deems it appropriate. 

“There was a need for a new title because everybody is so good. If you look across the board myself, AJ Styles, all the SmackDown guys really Sheamus, Drew McIntyre, Gunter, you look at Raw, you have got Cody Rhodes, you got Kevin [Owens], you got Sami [Zayn]. I mean, there are just tons of guys, tons of competition,” he said.
