WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins has topped the annual PWI 500 list.
Pro Wrestling Illustrated released their 33rd list of the top 500 pro wrestlers in the world, and Rollins was ranked #1. He previously ranked #1 in 2015 and 2019.
The rankings are based on criteria that includes win-loss record, titles won, quality of competition, major feuds, prominence within a wrestler’s promotion, and overall wrestling ability.
As seen below, Rollins is featured on the PWI 500 cover with his former brothers in The Shield – the #2 ranked Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns, and the #3 ranked AEW International Champion Jon Moxley.
