8 Moments That Led Seth Rollins To WWE 2K18 Cover Star
1. The Kingslayer
In 2014, Rollins entrusted the future of his career to Triple H. Two years later, he was tossed aside by The King of Kings, the recipient of a Pedigree that shattered their relationship and set them on a collision course for The Showcase of the Immortals, WrestleMania 33.
In front of 80,000 fans in Orlando, Rollins went toe-to-toe with the measuring stick in professional wrestling. Surviving a targeted attack on his previously injured knee, he sent his opponent crashing into his lovely wife Stephanie, sending her through a table at ringside.
From there, Rollins planted his opponent with his own finishing maneuver and scored the biggest victory of his career. The match, one of the best, cemented Rollins' status as a top babyface on Raw and reaffirmed the trust management has in him to lead the company for the foreseeable future.
That trust made it possible for the newly dubbed Kingslayer to earn the cover of WWE 2K18, breaking a string of years in which nostalgia acts and Hall of Famers have dominated the promotion of the wildly popular franchise.
