A WWE Hall of Famer has changed their opinion on Seth Rollins.

Since becoming the World Heavyweight Champion, Seth Rollins’ career has gone to a whole new level. He’s defended the gold in several high-profile matches while clashing with the likes of CM Punk on the microphone.

Meanwhile, in more recent weeks Rollins has become embroiled in the storyline between Cody Rhodes, The Rock, and The Bloodline. That’s without even getting into his upcoming World Title defence against Drew McIntyre at WrestleMania 40.

Speaking on 83 Weeks, Eric Bischoff said Rollins’ recent run has given him a newfound respect for the star.

“I’ve gained a lot more respect for Seth over the last year. His character is just a little over the top for me, I like things that are just a little bit more believable. I get that this is entertainment, and we’re selling merchandise, I get all that.

But Seth’s got some range. He’s got range as a character. He can be serious and just be f**king ridiculous with those sunglasses he’s wearing, goofy as hell, but then he can be deadly serious and very effective. I love his Curb Stomp.”

Bischoff also took time to praise Drew McIntyre, commenting that he’s excited to see him get the opportunity to face Rollins at WrestleMania.

“But I’m excited for Drew. I was excited for him when he won in COVID, but this is not the same thing at all! Not even close … But I’m happy that he gets that opportunity, he’s worked hard for it and earned it.”

The Rock Blasts Seth Rollins In Mega Promo

Ahead of SmackDown, The Rock basted Seth Rollins in a 21-minute verbal attack on his rivals, but hours later, there was even more to come. On the latest episode of the blue brand, The Rock responded to the challenge Cody Rhodes made at Elimination Chamber, however, the response came in the form of a challenge of his own.

The Rock pitched a tag team match for night one of WrestleMania between himself and Roman Reigns and Rollins & Rhodes.
