Seth Rollins Justifies Attacking Roman Reigns At WWE Royal Rumble
Seth Rollins feels like he did the right thing when he attacked Roman Reigns at the WWE Royal Rumble.
One of the most shocking during the Men’s Royal Rumble match in Indianapolis happened after CM Punk eliminated Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns at the same time. As Punk looked down on both men, Logan Paul was there to dump Punk out of the match as well.
While they were on the floor, Rollins saw Reigns on his knees and Rollins delivered a devastating version of The Stomp on Reigns on the floor. Rollins also brawled with Punk and hit Punk with a superkick. This allowed Rollins to hit another Stomp on Reigns, this time on the steel steps.
That shocking attack by Rollins was a way to write Reigns off WWE TV for at least the next month since he won’t be part of the Elimination Chamber PLE and will likely return at some point in March to build to a WrestleMania 41 match.
During an appearance on The Rich Eisen Show, Rollins tried to explain to the young son of one of the hosts why he went after the “Tribal Chief” Reigns the way he did.
“You’ve got to understand the history. He doesn’t know, he doesn’t know. For the last four years, the Tribal Chief has not been very kind to the people closest to him, okay?
So, you know, people get what they deserve sometimes. They’ve got to make apologies, they’ve got to make amends, they’ve got to do things right. Roman Reigns gets what’s coming to him. You’ve got to understand that. So maybe this will be a teaching moment for you as a father.”
Seth Rollins Has His Eyes On The WWE Title
In the same interview, Seth Rollins made it clear that his dream WrestleMania opponent is Cody Rhodes, the WWE Champion.
“I personally would love to get into the Elimination Chamber. I got a qualifying match coming up here in a couple weeks on Monday Night Raw on Netflix. Get into the Chamber, stomp CM Punk’s head into the mat, eliminate everybody in that chamber, John Cena included, go to WrestleMania, and my dream opponent is Cody Rhodes for that title.
Cody is a guy that, when he came back to WWE, we had a series of matches. He won all of them, three in a row. I lost all of them to Cody Rhodes. I helped Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania last year win the WWE Championship. I think it would be very poetic if I was able to take the WWE Championship from Cody Rhodes this year at WrestleMania.
So that’s my perfect plan. That’s what I’d love to see happen. Lots of variables at play, so we’ll see how it goes.”
Following what happened at the Royal Rumble, it has been rumored that Seth Rollins will be against Roman Reigns and CM Punk in a triple threat grudge match at WrestleMania 41. Nothing is official yet.
