The Visionary has excelled in virtually every spot WWE has put him in for the last decade, even when the booking was to blame and he had no choice but to make the most of certain situations.
He’s had his fair share of success in the company and is a first-ballot Hall of Famer. The run he’s had has been nothing short of storied and decorated.
The one thing he’ll never be able to lay claim to, though, is being positioned as the face of the franchise. At this rate, it’s evident the powers-that-be don’t intend on having him fulfill that role no matter how many times he’s proved himself worthy of it.
Reigns was primed to serve as John Cena’s replacement from the beginning of his main roster run, but Rollins could have easily filled in as the No. 1 babyface once The Tribal Chief went heel.
Cody Rhodes instead swooped in and is on track to fill that vacancy (if he hasn’t already), leaving Rollins to trail behind as the runner-up of sorts yet again.
It’s been a common occurrence throughout his career and that isn’t lost on him if his 2022 interview with Ariel Helwani for BT Sport (now TNT Sports) was any indication.
For as underrated and underappreciated as Rollins is, the permanent chip on his shoulder that drives him to exceed all expectations is what makes him that much greater.
