“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.

Despite Being Hated by the Majority, Fans Spat on a Young Fan for Unnecessary Heat Toward Roman Reigns’ Cousin- “Respect Your Elders.”

Reigns holding both WWE and Universal titles has led Rollins to feel that he is stealing opportunities from other superstars. Therefore, the latter pointed out that it was the need of the hour to bring a new title to the roster to maintain the spirit of competition. He thinks it was necessary to challenge the status quo and feels fortunate to be the lucky one to do so.

Rollins is proud to be the new champion

Rollins also stated that he feels excited about becoming the brand-new champion. He is glad that he got the opportunity to pave the way for other superstars and guide them as a new era of change begins. This is his first world title reign in 7 years. Last time he won the WWE World Heavyweight Championship from Reigns in June 2019.

In addition, he mentioned he feels thrilled to become an inaugural champion. He was also the inaugural WWE NXT Champion. In July 2012, he beat Jinder Mahal in the tournament finals and won the gold. Just like at Night of Champions, that time too The Game, alongside Dusty Rhodes, crowned him the champion.
