Seth Rollins has revealed what he wants to accomplish taking the World Heavyweight Championship to WWE NXT.

On the June 20 “Gold Rush” edition of WWE NXT, Seth Rollins will return to the brand to defend the World Heavyweight Championship against Bron Breakker. This will mark Rollins’ first appearance on the brand since 2019.

“The Visionary” is one of the prolific stars to ever step into the squared circle on the brand as the first ever NXT Champion in company history.

Speaking with the New York Post, Rollins discussed what it means to make his return to his old stomping grounds as the World Heavyweight Champion. He said:

“Taking [the World Heavyweight Championship] down Florida and NXT I think makes it special. You just don’t see that very often. The last time I had a match on NXT was, God, over a decade ago [in July 2013].”

“Getting an opportunity to go down there to the place I really cut my teeth in WWE and bring a brand new world title there and defend it against someone like Bron Breakker, I think it’s gonna put more eyes on NXT, I hope, and bring some attention there.”

If Rollins is able to retain against Bron Breakker, he will defend his title against Finn Balor at WWE Money In The Bank on July 1.
