Ahead of this Sunday’s WWE SummerSlam 2018 pay-per-view, Seth Rollins spoke with the folks from Sports Illustrated’s “Extra Mustard” section for an interview. Featured below are some of the highlights.
On the rumor that Roman Reigns may face The Rock at WrestleMania: “I’d like it to be Roman Reigns vs. Seth Rollins.”
On if he would want to face The Rock at WrestleMania: “That’s cool, too. Don’t get me wrong. I love Rocky. I think he’s great. Love everything he’s done for this business. But my gut, my first instinct, says we don’t need him. We don’t need him. If we’re not the guys who can main event WrestleMania, then how are we ever gonna be The Rock? How are we gonna be Stone Cold Steve Austin? We can’t hold onto these guys forever. We just can’t. To me, let’s do Seth Rollins-Roman Reigns before we do Seth Rollins-The Rock. That’s me.”
On if he thinks Roman Reigns should turn heel: “I don’t know. He’s in an interesting spot as a character. Until there’s something that really feels like, ‘OK we should push it one way or the other,’ he still gets one of the loudest reactions one way or the other every single night no matter where were at, in whatever town were at. If we’re in Paducah, Kent., on a Sunday afternoon and there are a billion kids in the crowd, he’s gonna be universally praised and when he hits a spear and they’ll go bananas. When he’s in Brooklyn, N.Y. at SummerSlam, the place might turn their back and boo him out of the building, but he’s still getting a reaction, so I don’t know. I don’t know what the right answer is, but I’m happy it’s not my decision to make.”
