Rollins isn't the only top WWE star who has yet to feel like the man the whole company revolves around. One example Rollins gave was Drew McIntyre, who defeated Rollins at WrestleMania 40 to become WWE World Heavyweight Champion, but was dethroned just a few minutes later by Damian Priest.

"There's some things that don't go your way all the time when you're kind of wrapped up in yourself, but Drew had a really good year after that," Rollins said. "He does deserve the spotlight. He works really hard. He's a guy who got fired and came back. He didn't leave on his own, he got let go because he didn't know what he was doing, and he went and put in the work and then came back a totally different version of himself and has continued to improve. Say what you will about him being a super troll online, when you get him out there in the ring, whether it's with a microphone or in a match, he's one of the best there is."

Both McIntyre and Rollins have had a common enemy over the past few months in the form of CM Punk, with McIntyre having most of his 2024 taken up by his quest of taking the former AEW World Champion out for good, while Rollins lost to Punk on the January 6 episode of "WWE Raw."
