Seth Rollins Says Joey Mercury Saved His Career

seth rollinsAccording to The Wrestling Observer, WWE World Champion Seth Rollins did a Q&A at the Wizard World convention in St. Louis, Missouri last week and during his talk he revealed Joey Mercury (one half of J&J security) saved his WWE career.

Rollins admitted he had developed a reputation for having a big ego during his time in WWE NXT, and he had a tremendous amount of heat on him as he believed he was the best performer in developmental and he became very frustrated with how much time he had to spend in NXT.

Rollins 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 ended up saving his career in WWE.
