The PWI rankings have been released and sitting atop the group this year is WWE Universal Champion Seth Rollins. “The Architect” of the Shield also topped the rankings in 2015.
Rollins joins Bret Hart, Steve Austin, Triple H and John Cena as the only wrestlers to top the list on multiple occasions.
“Those guys obviously are elite,” Rollins said in regards to the other 2x winners to WWE.com. “They are in a class all their own. They are Hall of Famers. So, to be mentioned amongst them is pretty special.”
