Rollins and Paul’s WrestleMania 39 match was filled with aerial stunts and a fun script. The general audience also seemed to like it till the end. Even though Rollins was able to pin his opponent, he wasn’t quite happy while recalling the match.
To make things clear, his dissatisfaction wasn’t related to the huge difference in their paycheck either. The sole reason that he gives for the same is that he wished to be in the main event of WrestleMania.
Seth Rollins appeared in an official interview with ‘WWE on Fox’. While the interviewer was talking about WrestleMania in SoFi this year, he couldn’t help but ask Rollins for his reaction when he got to know the first time about facing Logan Paul.
Rollins confessed, “I mean, I think at first I’m always disappointed if I feel like my match isn’t gonna close the show. I think anybody in my shoes, that’s a normal experience to have. If you’ve been at this for long, kinda grinding away. You want that main spotlight and you want your name on the marquee and you want to close the show.”

After mentioning what he found unacceptable about the match, Rollins also revealed what he liked about it. He admitted that even though the two of them were not getting to close the main event, there was room for a lot of recognition. This is because Rollins believes that a huge number of the YouTuber’s fanbase “have no idea what WWE is.” So, Rollins had something to look forward to.
Rollins even complimented his former opponent by calling him “a guy who has just a megaphone on him, no matter what he does.” By this, he means that despite how good or bad Paul is at something, his supporters are always going to have his back. In turn, making him a profitable asset for a company like WWE.
