Earlier today, Seth Rollins posted to Instagram to reflect on his 2018, calling it his “favorite year in professional wrestling.” He gives thanks to his supportive family, fans, and WWE family for helping him capitalize on his opportunities. See the architect’s statement below.
This year was my favorite year in professional wrestling because it was the most intentional of my career. At the start of 2018, there wasn’t a lot of buzz around me and some people were wondering (including me) if maybe my best years were behind me. With the support of my friends, my fans, and my WWE family I was able to capitalize on opportunities given and transform that doubt into momentum. I hit a stride so smooth that my confidence shot through the stratosphere. I began to flourish in the roles of general and leader. I was able to travel the world, make new friends, share the ring with some of the most talented humans on the planet, and learn a little about a lot I didn’t know before. I don’t know what 2019 is gonna look like, but I am forever grateful that I am able to experience the life I’ve been given. Thank you to everyone out there that played any part in making my 2018 what it was. It’s never too late to turn it all around.

Rollins began the year as a Raw tag team champion with Jason Jordan before becoming the Intercontinental champion at WrestleMania 34. He would feud with Dolph Ziggler over the I.C. belt culminating at SummerSlam, and even reunite with the Shield to battle the newly formed Dogs of War. Unfortunately for Rollins, fellow Shield-mate Dean Ambrose would betray Rollins on the very same night that Roman Reigns announced his battle with leukemia, leading to an extended feud that saw Ambrose defeat Rollins for the I.C. title at last Sunday’s TLC.
What do you expect to see from Seth in 2019?
