Seth Rollins has credited a WWE Hall of Famer as being a pivotal influence in his life in and out of the ring.

Rollins recently made his return to WWE NXT, facing Bron Breakker for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.

The match would see a peak in viewership for NXT, reaching 950,000 viewers and hitting a 0.29 rating in the 18-49 demo.

WWE would share a backstage moment between WWE Hall of Famer and Senior Vice President of Talent Development Creative Shawn Michaels and Seth Rollins.

In the short video, Michaels can be heard thanking Rollins, with the WWE World Heavyweight Champion replying that “it means a lot to him.”

Rollins has gone on social media to further express his thanks to Michaels, tweeting:

“Everybody you meet plays a part in who you are. Some more than others…

“Without Shawn, I never step foot in a wrestling ring. Probably never meet my wife. Never have my kid.

“Reflecting on this moment, I feel immense gratitude across the board. We’re nothing but lucky to be experiencing life.”

Rollins and Becky Lynch shared their first kiss over WWE Royal Rumble weekend in 2019, according to Rollins in an episode of WWE 365 from December of that year.

The couple would get married on June 29, 2021, having welcomed their first child into the world in December 2020.

Everybody you meet plays a part in who you are. Some more than others…
