Seth Rollins was interviewed by Iridian Fierro last night prior to Monday Night Raw. During the interview, he expressed his disappointment with his match against Dean Ambrose at TLC, not being happy with his lengthy title run following Wrestlemania 31 and how often he talks to Roman Reigns. Here are the highlights:
On Being Disappointed With His Match Against Dean Ambrose At TLC:
I’m feeling disappointed, to say the least. I let my emotions get the better of me. It really put me in a position where Ambrose was able to capitalize, drop me on my head for the Dirty Deeds and pick up the win. Unfortunately for Dean Ambrose, every champion has a right to a rematch and so sooner or later he’s gonna have to answer to me. So, I’m not envious of Dean Ambrose’s position right now.
I have my eye on Dean Ambrose, that’s where it’s at. There’s definitely a personal issue there that I don’t feel like was resolved last night. Obviously, I got my hands on him, I got to express to him in a very physical manner exactly how I felt about what he did to me, and Roman, and The Shield. At the end of the day, I don’t think that I accomplished what I wanted to, so I would definitely love to get back in there with Ambrose and finish what I started.
On How Often He And Roman Reigns Speak:
I talk to [Roman] once a week or so just to see how he’s doing. And mostly it’s about that, at the end of the day, he doesn’t want to worry about work. He doesn’t want to deal with that right now, so it’s mostly just about how he’s doing, seeing how he’s feeling, and how his recovery is coming and stuff like that. It’s nice to hear from him and every once in a while I do have a question about how things are, but for the most part, it’s just two friends keeping up with each other and making sure everyone is doing alright.
On Not Being Happy With His 220 Day Championship Reign:
I didn’t really feel like [my WWE World Championship reign] was as fulfilling as I would have liked it to be. Based on kinda how I went about things, how I got the title and all that stuff. For me, I think this recent Intercontinental Championship run with two different title runs over the past, since Wrestlemania basically, so the past like 8 months. But with the absence of the Universal Championship on RAW, it’s really elevated the Intercontinental Championship being more than this kinda, fiddle-of-the-road title.
On The Need To Carry Raw While Roman Is On The Sidelines:
Monday nights are my home, for now. Obviously, you never know what’s gonna happen here in WWE. But truth is, I love it here. I love Mondays and I feel like this is my show, and I feel a lot of pressure now that Roman’s on the shelf and trying to get better to carry that load, and to carry that torch. And so, I’m looking forward to 2019. 2018 was a great year for me.
