Cena was the dominant figure from the early 2000s onwards but since his move to part-time and eventual retirement, multiple stars have tried to fill the void.<\/p>\n<p>Cena, obviously, spent his entire career as a \u2018babyface\u2019 until a late run as a heel saw him quickly turn back face before he left the company.<\/p>\n<p>And it is because of that babyface run that Rollins believes he\u2019s so different to Cena.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p><img alt=\"Photo by Joe Maher\/WWE via Getty Images\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"standard-img\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/58fe1765bc71c4fa86209ea777f08429.jpeg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Photo by Joe Maher\/WWE via Getty Images<\/p>\n<p>Seth Rollins says he\u2019ll always be a better heel than babyface<\/p>\n<p>Rollins is often good for a quote or two in the modern era given his popularity and the in-demand nature of his stardom.<\/p>\n<p>Now, speaking about his current run in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hitc.com\/topic\/wwe\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:WWE;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;WWE&quot;}\" class=\"link \">WWE<\/a> where\u2019s mainly portrayed as a good guy, Rollins has admitted it\u2019s likely to be short-lived.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe truth is I\u2019m not very good at being the hero,\u201d Rollins told ESPN.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI can do it in short spurts, but I\u2019m not like (John) Cena, I\u2019m not like Rey Mysterio.
