9 Former PWG Champions Who Now Wrestle In WWE

9. Seth Rollins

Seth Rollins has not had a huge amount of luck in the last 12 months. After recovering from a knee that was destroyed at the back end of 2015, Rollins regained the WWE Championship - only to lose it moments later.

He was then screwed out of the title by the man who handed him everything, and subsequently lost all of his challenges as a result of the unbreakable (for now) friendship of Kevin Owens and Chris Jericho. To make matters worse, The Architect has now re-injured his dodgy knee.

Rollins had a whole lot more luck in PWG, back when he was still billed as Tyler Black. Over three years Black wrestled infrequently for the company, losing in the first round of the 2007 Battle of Los Angeles to Alex Shelley, and working mostly in the doubles ranks alongside current WWE writer Jimmy Jacobs.

It was that team which captured the PWG World Tag Team Championship in 2008 at Life During Wartime. The Age of the Fall (as they were known) defeated two individuals who will come up later on in the piece for the straps - but they only held them for six weeks before dropping them to The Young Bucks at All Star Weekend 7.

During his time with PWG Black was spoken of as a future superstar, albeit in a future that was a decade or so away. Glory would come to The Architect far more quickly than anyone could imagine.
