Former World Heavyweight Champion discusses WrestleMania status and backstage secrets
Summary
– Rollins regrets that The Shield triple threat match took place at Battleground instead of WrestleMania
– The Visionary admits he cannot watch the Unreal series due to his old-school mentality
– He revealed a fracture in his relationship with the band Parkway Drive
Seth Rollins recently appeared on The Sal Licata Show to discuss his current injury status and reflect on his career. The interview covered several topics, ranging from his potential return to past missed opportunities.
Rollins confirmed that he is eyeing a return for WrestleMania but noted the final decision rests with the medical team. He stated that he will do everything asked of him regarding rehabilitation to be ready for the grandest stage of them all.
The conversation turned to the history of The Shield and the triple threat match at Battleground in 2016. Rollins revealed that the group opposed having the match on the secondary pay-per-view because they believed it belonged at WrestleMania. He admitted they were overruled by the previous administration and cited it as one of his biggest regrets that the match did not take place properly at the biggest event of the year.
Rollins also touched on the behind-the-scenes series Unreal. He confessed that he cannot bring himself to watch it because it goes against his upbringing in the business. He believes keeping some gray area is essential for professional wrestling and feels that knowing too much spoils the magic for viewers.
The superstar shared a story about faking an injury before SummerSlam. He noted that he did not even tell John Cena the truth initially. Cena later texted him to say, “Well played” after the ruse was revealed.
A fan asked whether he would ever use a Parkway Drive song in the future. Rollins disclosed that there has been a fracture in his relationship with the band and indicated that it is unlikely to happen.
