WWE: 10 Things You Need To Know About Seth Rollins

8. He Made Quite A Few Friends On The Way Up

Although Lopez described choosing WWE over ROH and TNA as €œan easy choice€, it was a choice that a friend helped him make. Matt Sydal was a veteran of the independent scene who€™d been wrestling with WWE for a few years under the name Evan Bourne. But growing up in the indies from 2006 to 2010 was a perfect way to work with some of the best talent around. As Tyler Black, Lopez became close friends with El Generico (NXT€™s current standout star Sami Zayn), Claudio Castagnoli (now known as rising WWE star Cesaro), CM Punk€™s best friend Colt Cabana, future TNA World Champion Austin Aries, and Bryan Danielson, otherwise known as WWE€™s babyface sensation Daniel Bryan, amongst many others. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JhywAx6jy4I
