In a recent interview with Jimmy Traina of the Sports Illustrated Media Podcast, WWE RAW superstar Seth Rollins discussed several topics, including his storyline heading into WrestleMania 38 where he will face off against a mystery opponent.
“You do what I’ve been doing and you try to make it work, that’s what I’ve done the last few weeks, try to work my way into WrestleMania. People will say this is ridiculous, this is preposterous, you’re Seth “Freakin” Rollins, how can you miss WrestleMania. If you only knew how close to the truth this storyline was, your mind would be blown, this is a very legitimate situation for me, the pieces went haywire at Day 1 in Atlanta, COVID blew the whole thing up, you see Brock Lesnar walk out with the WWE Championship, all hell broke loose and it’s dominoes, everything has to fall, Bobby Lashley gets hurt, everything is chaos after that.
This is a very legitimate situation that has translated to screen time every Monday, and it’s been a fun story, because it’s the only match that is up in the air, it’s the only thing you can follow every week and go, what’s going to happen next, what are these weird crossroads we’re going to get into to get to the finish line. It’s been fun, not my ideal way to go into WrestleMania, it’s a lot of extra stress, but it’s been a party and we’re going to get there one way or another. I’m very excited to get to Dallas and I’m going to have my WrestleMania moment one way or the other. It’s going to be a moment. One thing I’ve learned on this journey to try and find my way to WrestleMania is that I am Seth “Freakin” Rollins and I am the moment.
You look at WrestleMania over the last 8 to 10 years and all I do is make moments, it doesn’t matter who I’m in the ring with, or what we’ve got going on, I find a way to make moments, I am the moment, I am my own main event at WrestleMania, anybody lucky enough to share the ring with me has a good chance to steal the show. You can run down the laundry list of my past WrestleMania accomplishments, but it’s right there in front of you, it took me a while to see that, but I am WrestleMania, I’m the new Mr. WrestleMania, Shawn Michaels had his time, he’ll always be the original Mr. WrestleMania, but look at the track record over the last decade, they don’t get no better than me.”
