The anticipated WrestleMania main event encounter between Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns is a particularly sensitive subject for one WWE superstar who has a long history with both guys. During a recent appearance on the “Sports Guys Talking Wrestling” podcast, former world champion Seth Rollins discussed his resentment of the upcoming Undisputed WWE Universal Championship fight between Reigns and Rhodes.
When asked who he believes is the favorite to win, Rollins made his opinions known. “I don’t know the answer to that question,” Rollins said. “It’s very hard for me to look at that match unbiased. I want that match. I want that spot. I want that title. And to not have it, there’s a lot of salt in the wound having to talk about it, so it’s difficult for me to analyze.”
The four-time WWE world champion did agree that “you’re looking at a rock and a hard place” when comparing Reigns with Rhodes. And Rollins would know best, having faced Rhodes at WrestleMania last year, while he’s had years of friendship and treachery with Reigns, including Rollins turning on his old Shield colleague and cashing in his “Money In The Bank” contract during his WrestleMania 31 bout against Brock Lesnar.
“You’ve got Roman Reigns, who’s on an incredible run, but you’ve got Cody Rhodes who’s riding a lot of momentum,” Rollins pointed out. “So, when those two guys meet –- if that is the match, could be Sami Zayn in that spot, who knows, we’ll see after the [Elimination] Chamber –- it’s going to be a generational main event at WrestleMania. Again, it’s hard for me to feel any way but slighted by it. But that is what it is.”

Roman Reigns will defend his Undisputed WWE Universal Championship against Sami Zayn at Elimination Chamber PLE in Montreal, Canada later this month. Zayn is a huge fan favorite. Many are hoping he will eventually beat Reigns, but that is highly unlikely, especially with WWE setting up a Reigns vs. Rhodes match at WrestleMania 39. It seems that. Sami Zayn is reportedly planning to team up with Kevin Owens to take on The Usos for the tag team titles at WrestleMania 39.
In a recent interview with Fox Sports Radio, The Visionary claimed that no one ever gets along with Logan Paul in the dressing room. He went on to ask if Logan was here to help the business or if he was just making money for himself at the expense of his fanbase. “No one gets along with him. Is there anyone like Logan Paul? He’s a personality, he’s out there, and you see, he’s a hustler. But our industry is above passion It consists of It’s based on people who love it, want it better, and don’t want it taken away. And I want to know about Logan Paul, is he the guy? Will he fall in love with it, will he give back? Do you just want to do it for yourself?” said Seth Rollins. He also met his wife Becky Lynch, who wants to quit the business in a better place than he found himself. The visionary accused Logan of taking the opportunity and making everything about himself.
