Tuesday was a very special night for a famous WWE star Seth Rollins. Seth returned to NXT, the place where he started his professional wrestling career. Seth won the NXT Title about 10 years ago.
Seth Rollins Returns to NXT To Speak About The Future
Seth recently fought Bron Breakker.
Bron challenged Seth for the World Heavyweight Title. After retaining the title, Seth spoke to the NXT fans after the show ended and suggested that he might appear across all three brands. "The reason I come down here to NXT is because I love this, and this title deserves that respect," Rollins said.
"There are champions like Harley Race, Ric Flair, Bret 'The Hitman' Hart, and 'Mr. Five-Time' Booker T who took pride in taking the heavyweight title to every city and every town in every single country they could, and putting on a fight to raise the prestige of a world heavyweight champion.
If I can even lace those boots for two seconds, and if I can be a part of that lineage, then I'm doing something right”. Seth shared his thoughts about returning to the WWE Performance Center and accepting Bron Breakker’s challenge.
Seth spoke about the feeling of nostalgia when he stepped into an NXT arena. "When I accepted [Breakker's challenge], I had a lot of people asking me, 'Seth, does it feel nostalgic? Are you getting emotional?'" Rollins revealed.
"To be honest, it had been so long since I'd stepped foot in an NXT ring, and I've been fortunate enough to do so much across the world, that my honest answer was 'no.' It wasn't hitting me like I thought it would. Until I got out here!" Seth also received the famous ‘welcome back’ chants.
This seemed to make Seth even more emotional while he was speaking to the crowd. "That right there, all of you, you guys embody the same energy that I left NXT with a decade ago," Rollins stressed. "You guys are still the proving ground for every single person back there, you guys and your vitality, your love, your energy is what has made me a visionary, it is what has made me a revolutionary, it is what has made me [crowd chants Seth Freakin' Rollins]." This post-show speech was delivered after Trick Williams and Carmerlo Hayes saved Seth from getting beaten by Finn Balor. Finn Balor is next in line to challenge Seth for the World Heavyweight Title.
