What did Seth Rollins say about Dusty Rhodes?

Sam Roberts and wrestler Johnny Gargano hosted the star-studded panel which featured WWE superstars. One of the event’s highlights came in the form of an interview with the revolutionary wherein he addressed his former rival’s father and his mentor Dusty Rhodes.

While talking about getting a new action figure Rollins quoted saying- “the fact that I get to pay homage to the late great Dusty Rhodes and be immortalised in action figure form, it’s big double whammy in a good way.”

Calling it a double whammy, Rollins was evidently thrilled with the honor of getting an action figure based on the Dusty Rhodes polka dot outfit.

Rhodes made his comeback to WWE at WrestleMania 38, facing and defeating a game Rollins in what marked the first match of their trilogy, for those unversed.

During their Hell in a Cell match, ‘The Architect’ played mind games with Rhodes, by wearing the classic Dusty Rhodes polka dot outfit to get inside Rhodes’ head, his way of paying homage.

Rollins targeted Rhodes who suffered a pectoral muscle injury before the matchup, but Rhodes sunk in deep and picked up the biggest victory of his career by overcoming yet another battle.
