Seth Rollins Will “Scorch The Earth” In Last Man Standing Match
Seth Rollins has never been in a Last Man Standing match but he’s confident that he won’t leave much behind once he’s finished with Shinsuke Nakamura.
In an inversion of WWE’s usual booking, Rollins, the champion, has been trying to get the man he wants to face – Nakamura – to accept his offer for a match. Yet Nakamura has refused Rollins’ offer several times and has instead continued to mock Rollins and his family.
Nakamura kept bringing up the theme of Rollins’ back injury and that, once he’s finished with Rollins, the current World Heavyweight Champion won’t be able to stand. It was at that point that Nakamura offered to face Rollins, but only if he agreed to a Last Man Standing stipulation.
Rollins accepted the stipulation moments later on RAW, but soon after some fans began pointing out that Rollins has never been in such a match before.
Rollins, however, isn’t worried, as he expressed his confidence in a concise statement posted to Twitter/X.
“First ever LMS. Gonna scorch the earth.”
