Seth Rollins felt guilty about lying to John Cena about the injury

John Cena is one of the most talented and compassionate individuals in the industry. So when Rollins got “injured”, The Champ reached out.

While speaking to Sports Illustrated, Seth Rollins revealed that he didn’t feel any guilt about lying and pulling off the angle. However, he did feel slightly guilty about lying to John Cena when he reached out. However, The Leader of Cenation was happy with the outcome!

Maybe John Cena. John reached out and I had to do my best to wiggle around it. But John and I are cut from the same cloth, so when John saw the final outcome, he was happy. He was proud in a way. So, at the end of the day, it all works itself out. [h/t: Sports Illustrated]
