PWI ELECTS SETH ROLLINS THE BEST WRESTLER
The prestigious magazine Pro Wrestling Illustrated always releases its annual Top 500, and after Roman Reigns ranked 1st last year, this year's 1st place remains with WWE.
Seth Rollins was considered fighter of the year by PWI, leading the magazine's ranking of 500 fighters for the second time in his career, after coming in 1st place in 2019.
The evaluation period for PWI was from July 1, 2022 to June 31, 2023, and takes into account several criteria, most of which are related to kayfabe, such as wins and losses, titles, influence, etc.
In any case, Seth Rollins won this award for the second time in his career, in a year in which he won the WWE United States Championship and also became the first World Heavyweight Champion.
This is the 2023 PWI 500 Top 10:
1. Seth Rollins
2. Roman Reigns
3. Jon Moxley
4. GUNTHER
5. El Hijo Del Vikingo
6. MJF
7. Kazuchika Okada
8. Orange Cassidy
9. Josh Alexander
10. Cody Rhodes
As revealed on @BustedOpenRadio: @WWERollins tops the #PWI500 for a record-tying third time. He's followed by his Shield brothers @WWERomanReigns and @JonMoxley at #2 and #3, respectively.
