Since the brand split, Rollins has been featured almost exclusively on WWE RAW, save the guest appearances on the Blue side. In fact, a couple of his monikers even play on his identity as a RAW guy such as Monday Night Rollins and Monday Night Messiah. Those nicknames are now a thing of the past however, with Rollins set to burn Friday nights down from now on.

Rollins to SmackDown is a huge positive for the Blue brand and the man himself. This will certainly bring a new list of opponents for the man to face and give the SmackDown heroes another challenge.

The other names drafted in the first round were Drew McIntyre to RAW. The WWE Champion was the first pick. Universal Champion Roman Reigns to SmackDown was the second pick. Asuka and Hurt Business were RAW’s other two picks in the first round.

Like most combat sports enthusiasts, his passion for watching people fight began with WWE when he witnessed a young Brock Lesnar massacre Hulk Hogan back in 2002. This very passion soon branched out to boxing and mixed martial arts. Over the years he fell in love with the theatrics that preceded the bell and the poetic carnage that followed after. Each bruise a story to tell, each wound a song of struggle, his greatest desire is to be there to witness it all. His favorite wrestler is Shawn Michaels and he believes that GSP is the greatest to ever step foot inside the octagon. Apart from wrestling, he is also fond of poetry and music.
