Armenian-American wrestler wins WWE Universal Championship

PanARMENIAN.Net - Seth Rollins won the WWE Universal Championship by beating Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 35. Many people believe that he can become the new WWE symbol, especially after the departure of Dean Ambrose. Upon capturing his first WWE (World Heavyweight) Championship, he became the first wrestler of Armenian descent to hold the title and after winning his first Intercontinental Championship, he became the 29th Triple Crown Champion and the 18th Grand Slam Champion, Wrestling World says.

During a long interview with The Quad City Times, Rollins commented on the last match of The Shield: “It just kind of just worked out, in an unfortunate way, obviously not something we ever wanted to say the final chapter.

"I always believed The Shield would live forever. Now we have this last weekend and it just happens to end up in Moline. It’s very poetic. It will be a cool experience to do in front of friends and family”. On his match against Brock Lesnar: “Facing Brock Lesnar never came into my realm of possibility.

"I dreamed a lot of big dreams as a kid. But there are things that have happened I never would have even thought were possible — like being on the cover of a video game, being an action figure. It’s been pretty surreal”.
