WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins spoke at the Wizard World convention in St. Louis, Missouri last week and credited Joey Mercury for saving his career in WWE.
While in NXT, Rollins had developed a reputation for having an ego, as he believed he was the best performer in WWE’s developmental system and grew frustrated with being there for longer than he felt he should have been.
Rollins said he was almost fired by the company until Mercury helped lay out everything for him and put him on the right path, which he claims ultimately saved his job.
