Current Universal Champion voted top wrestler of the year by Pro Wrestling Illustrated
Seth Rollins has topped the PWI 500, Pro Wrestling Illustrated’s long-list of the best wrestlers from the past twelve months.

This the second time Rollins has received this honour, topping the charts in 2015. He has claimed up from finishing fifth spot last year.
Rollins has had a banner year, winning the 2019 Royal Rumble and capturing the Universal Championship twice at Wrestlemania and SummerSlam respectively. He is also one-half of the Raw Tag Team Champions with Braun Strowman.
Rollins told Pro Wrestling Illustrated:
“As difficult as it can be, this is all I ever wanted — to be in this position, to be having this conversation with you — talking about being the absolute best wrestler on the entire planet. I don’t think there is a single part of me that would trade any second of it.”
Daniel Bryan came in second, with AJ Styles, WWE Champion Kofi Kingston and IWGP Heavyweight Champion Kazuchika Okada rounding off the top five.
British wrestling has a spot in this years top ten thanks to IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion Will Ospreay, with current WWE United Kingdom Champion WALTER coming in at 14.
