2023 has been an incredible year for Seth ‘Freakin’ Rollins, who will end this year with a record no other Superstar can match.
Rollins is the reigning WWE World Heavyweight Champion, a title he won at WWE Night of Champions in May. The title was introduced due to Roman Reigns’s lax schedule and stranglehold over the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship. Rollins defeated AJ Styles in the finals of a 12-man tournament to win the gold.
Seth Rollins’ Unique Record
This year will go down as one of the best in Rollins’ wrestling career and he is ending 2023 with a very unique record. The reigning WWE World Heavyweight Champion is the only WWE Superstar to have competed at every WWE Premium Live Event this year. Rollins’ impressive 12 months is as follows:
- WWE Royal Rumble: Competed in the Men’s Royal Rumble Match
- WWE Elimination Chamber: Competed in the Men’s Elimination Chamber Match.
- WrestleMania 39: Defeated Logan Paul
- WWE Backlash: Defeated Omos
- WWE Night of Champions: Defeated AJ Styles to win the World Heavyweight Championship
- WWE Money in the Bank: Defeated Finn Balor to retain the World Heavyweight Championship

Rollins’ next match will see him defend the World Heavyweight Championship against Drew McIntyre on the ‘Day 1’ edition of Raw. Should he retain against the Scottish Warrior, Rollins will likely defend at the 2024 Royal Rumble on January 27.
