The PWI top 500 rankings have been released and at the top of the list stands WWE Universal and Raw Tag Team Champion Seth Rollins.
“The Architect” topped this year’s list, which is the second time that he has earned this honor. He did so the first time in 2015.
“Those guys obviously are elite,” Rollins said in regards to the other 2x winners to WWE.com. “They are in a class all their own. They are Hall of Famers. So, to be mentioned amongst them is pretty special.”
