10 Things WWE Wants You To Forget About Seth Rollins

9. TNA Superstar

Going back to the start of Rollins' wrestling career, he actually worked briefly for WWE's nemesis TNA in 2006. He worked a tag match under his real name Colby Lopez, alongside Jeff Luxon, battling The Latin American Xchange (Homicide and Hernandez) at the October 2006 Impact tapings. The result was a loss and he didn't really feel too comfortable in the TNA environment. But he still came close to signing a TNA deal. It was definitely an option. History could have ended up being very different if he had signed there. As it happened, there was a flourishing independent scene, which offered Rollins the option to pursue his craft in a more open and expressive environment. He worked his way through Full Impact Pro, Pro Wrestling Guerrilla and of course Ring Of Honor.
