During a recent appearance on “The Pivot” podcast, WWE Superstar Seth Rollins commented on WWE’s current roster and his belief that the company needs some additional top heels.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On WWE’s current era of babyfaces: “Some of our bigger booms have been with face champions. You look at the last four years, Roman Reigns has been the guy, the Tribal Chief, and he’s been the biggest heel. Right now, we’re riding with Cody Rhodes and we’re sort of in this era of babyfaces. You have guys like myself, Cody, Randy Orton, Sami Zayn, Roman is back as a babyface. You have this era where everything is clicking and people are loving so much of what is going on.”
On WWE missing top heels: “I’m looking around and thinking, ‘We’re missing some good heels around here.’ The business is cyclical and you have to ride the waves given to you and figure out how to make the most money you can off of that. You look at guys like Hulk Hogan, Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels, (Bruno) Sammartino. A lot of the biggest box offices have been built on top babyfaces.”
During a recent interview with Collider, WWE Superstar Bo Dallas commented on the horror movie inspirations for The Wyatt Sicks faction. He said,
“Growing up, me and Windham were obsessed with horror movies. We loved everything from the classics to the really obscure stuff. One of our biggest influences was the ‘90s version of The Stand by Stephen King. We both loved that, and it’s funny because when we were coming up with ideas for characters, we both independently decided to draw inspiration from Randall Flagg without even realizing the other was doing it.”
