Seth Rollins recalled nearly being fired from WWE developmental back in the early 2010s. The currently injured Superstar told the story while appearing on Mohr Stories.

"I was on the chopping block. [Triple H] told me, 'Yeah, one more. One more and you're gone. One more. I don't care how good you are. You're not going to get a chance to show the world. We will fire you.' I had that conversation with Triple H," Rollins explained.

"I was sitting in Full Sail University. I remember sitting in the back, and he [Triple H] was like, 'You're being difficult with this guy. This guy thinks you're difficult.' I butted heads quite a bit when I got down to Florida. And, you know, Triple H didn't appreciate it, and my attitude wasn't appreciated, and it was like, if one more negative report comes back, we will fire you."

While guesting on Broken Skull Sessions with Stone Cold Steve Austin, Rollins revealed the person he rubbed the wrong way was trainer and former WWE wrestler Terry Taylor.

“I had to have that confidence to be who I was and to get to where I wanted to go, I knew that, but that would rub some people the wrong way," Rollins said. "One person who it rubbed the wrong way, and maybe this is some leftover heat from me shunning him during contract talks, is Terry Taylor.

"Once the music hit, and that reaction... I mean, I truly feel like I could have beat King Kong's ass," Edge told ESPN about his 2020 surprise return. "It was all surreal, kind of like a dream sequence, but everything's so focused and hyper-focused that I can't really explain it. But I think when you look at the video of me walking out, I think you see it in my eyes."

Iconic moments like these only come once in a while, but they're unforgettable every time! Check out these incredibly emotional moments when wrestlers returned after suffering career-threatening injuries.
