NEW DELHI: In a year that has seen him dominate the WWE Raw brand as the World Heavyweight Champion, Seth Rollins has solidified his status as the workhorse titleholder for the majority of 2023. With a title reign marked by compelling defenses against top-tier opponents, Rollins recently achieved a significant milestone, surpassing 200 days as the reigning World Heavyweight Champion.
Seth Rollins ascended to the pinnacle of the WWE Raw brand at Night of Champions, clinching the World Heavyweight Championship with a victory over AJ Styles.
Originally, plans were in place to separate the WWE and Universal Titles after Roman Reigns' loss at WrestleMania 39. However, circumstances led to the creation of a premier title for the Raw brand, and Rollins embraced the responsibility.
