“I Was the Only One”: Seth Rollins Breaks Silence on WWE Throwing Him Under the Bus for Roman Reigns After Their Controversial Finish at Royal Rumble 2022

At Royal Rumble 2022, Seth Rollins shocked the world by entering the ring through the crowd to The Shield’s entrance theme and vest mocking Roman Reigns. Just with the entrance, WWE Universe was sure that the match is going to be phenomenal. And, the ‘Visionary’ didn’t disappoint fans. He delivered an excellent performance that everyone loved.

Seth Rollins won the match but via disqualification. And, while fans were expecting a second shot for their ‘Messiah’, WWE dropped another storyline and Rollins didn’t get his rematch. This question has been roaming in everyone’s mind for more than a year. However, in his recent interview, Seth Rollins finally pulled the drapes off it.

Seth Rollins on why he never got a rematch against Roman Reigns

Recently, the WWE world heavyweight champion Seth Rollins gave an interview to ‘Dailymail UK’. There, he talked about several ongoing topics. He opens up about being the first heavyweight champion and his debut in the Hollywood industry.

The ‘Visionary’ also put light on why he didn’t get his rematch for the Undisputed WWE Universal title, even after delivering a phenomenal performance at Royal Rumble 2022.

Seth Rollins revealed that he was very close to beating Reigns, and that’s the reason he didn’t get another shot. Rollins said that Reigns knew if he’d face him again inside the ring, he would lose for sure.

The World Heavyweight champion also mentioned that he was the only opponent whom Roman Reigns didn’t get “smashed, stacked and pinned”, so he definitely deserved a second chance. 

Recalling his Royal Rumble match, Seth Rollins said, “I never got another shot at that title. There’s a reason why I never got a shot at that title: I was the closest person to beating Roman Reigns. I was the only one that escaped on a PPV in a title match that didn’t – as he says – smashed, stacked, and pinned. I was the only one and there was a reason I never got another crack at that title and there’s a reason he’s stood far, far away from me in the last year and a half. If I could go back and do it again, I’d beat his a**, absolutely.”

In the interview, the host also asked Rollins if he is also among the millions who were not happy with the ending of that match. And, if he wants to change it if possible.

To this, the ‘Visionary’ laughed and said if he could turn back the clock then he would go back and beat Roman Reigns. He also mentioned that nothing could happen now as you can’t change the past.

If we talk about the current scenario then right now, Seth Rollins is busy being a workhorse. He is currently feuding with Finn Balor and will defend his title against him at Money in the Bank.

Although, Seth Rollins never got his rematch against the ‘Tribal Chief’, he ended up getting a whole new title. And, we might soon see him and Reigns against each other once again, in a champion vs champion match.
