Seth Rollins spoke at the Wizard World convention in St. Louis, Missouri last week and credited Joey Mercury for saving his WWE career.
While in WWE’s developmental system, Rollins had developed a reputation for having an ego, as he believed he was the best performer in NXT and grew frustrated with being there for so long.
The current WWE World Heavyweight Champion claimed he was almost fired by the company at one point until Mercury helped lay out everything for him and put him on the right path, which he says saved his career in WWE.
