Seth Rollins has already main evented a WrestleMania (technically this is true!) and this year had a main event of SORTS against Triple H that was two years in the making. So in his career as a singles wrestler, Rollins has spent his two WrestleManias in the ring with Randy Orton, Brock Lesnar, Roman Reigns, and Triple H. That’s not a bad … pedigree.
So it’s perhaps no surprise that the WWE 2K18 cover star has lofty goals for his next WrestleMania opponent. While he and Dean Ambrose are currently embroiled in a feud with The Miz and his cronies over on Raw, Rollins is setting his sights much, much higher: he wants to wrestle The Rock, and he’s not afraid to take some shots while publicly calling out one of the biggest wrestling stars of all time and one of the most popular people in the world, full stop.
During an interview with Delaware 105.9, Rollins was fearless in his demand for a WrestleMania bout against The Rock, and even made a jab about Dwayne’s age.
“Obviously ‘Rocky’ is a little busy these days doing some Hollywood things, making movies, doing TV shows, all sorts of good stuff,” Rollins said. “If the opportunity came about I’d have no problem taking on The Rock at WrestleMania, sounds like a good time to me.”
“I’m in the prime of my career right now. The Rock’s past his prime, he’s had his days, he’s an old man at this point in time,” Rollins said. “I’m young, youthful, and vibrant. I’m ready to go.”
SETH, NO. THE ROCK STOPPED AN ACTUAL EARTHQUAKE, HOW CAN YOU HOPE TO DEFEAT HIM. (Note: I did not see the feature film San Andreas.)
I gotta say, of all the matches I have thought about in my lifetime, I don’t believe I’ve ever considered a singles match between Rollins and The Rock. Not to say that it would be bad, or anything. That’s just two tastes that I’ve never, ever thought about putting together. But what the hell? Let’s do it. It’ll be a lot more entertaining than Rock vs. Erick Rowan. Or a third match against John Cena. Or The Rock just blasting things with a flamethrower.
