Seth Rollins has appeared on multiple videos recently for Austin Creed’s YouTube channel: UpUpDownDown. The Champ, as he is known as on UpUpDownDown, is most notable for becoming the three time, undefeated Madden Champion. However his latest adventure saw him take on WWE 2K18 with Austin Creed.
Check out their first tag-match, joined by Corey Graves!
The main event of this feature was the Royal Rumble that they entered as their own characters in the game. While they watched the entrance of Seth Rollins, who entered at the number 1 position, Creed began an extremely interesting insight into the current state of RAW.
The host of UpUpDownDown asked whether Rollins still considered himself to be The King Slayer or whether he had moved up to the mantle of ‘The King’. Rollins replied that he slayed The King, referring to his match with Triple H at WrestleMania, but that The King Slayer doesn’t automatically become The King afterwards.
The exchange continued with Austin Creed asking if anyone had taken the throne after Triple H, with Rollins replying:
“I don’t know, no one’s really taken the throne I suppose […] RAW, there’s a lot of claims to the throne, no one has actually taken it.”
Seth went on to explain that he would take up the role of The King Slayer again, when a King returns to RAW, acting as a superhero. This suggests that Seth Rollins will remain as a face within the company after The Shield, and that he expects to challenge the main role on RAW when the time comes.
While this was a brief side thought in a video that focuses on promoting the WWE video game, it reflects the absence of Brock Lesnar and RAW’s lack of a week in week out leading star. As Rollins said, there are a lot of contenders, but no one has claimed the throne. Some would argue that The Miz fits the job description as he is RAW’s biggest heel. However The King needs to dominate and rule as the most powerful superstar on the brand, holding the leading championship or corporate power.
