WWE Network: Seth Rollins makes The WWE List for stealing a win at WrestleMania 31

The video above showcases Rollins cashing in his Money In The Bank briefcase at ‘WrestleMania 31’ against Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar during their match for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. Have a listen at some very notable names discuss what they thought seeing Rollins cash in.

Rollins first spoke about his diet while on the road in WW. This includes the type of meals he eats, when he eats them and his basic schedule around it.

“Breakfast for me is usually some sort of omelette with some meat and veggies and potatoes and some good coffee. Then I’ll usually do that into a workout and I’ll follow my workout with a shake, which is mostly protein and a little carb. Usually my next two or three meals when I’m on the road are all Chipotle. … Usually I get a bowl from Chipotle with rice and veggies and some meat and gotta get some guac on there because that’s the best part. I don’t need extra. They’re usually pretty good with loading me up. I’ll do two or three of those bowls and then I’ll have another shake after my match. If I have a long drive after, maybe I’ll stop and get a little snack here and there. But those are my usual days on the road as far as food is concerned.”

Next, Rollins explains why he decided to call out The Rock on Twitter for a match at ‘WrestleMania.’

“I think everyone respects Rock He’s obviously been in our industry his entire life in some form or fashion. He’s a guy that works really hard and most of our performers can appreciate that one way or another, whether it’s in the movie industry or our industry. He’s a legend, Hall of Famer, dude who’s paved the way for generations of us to be pro wrestlers, so I think it’s really cool for me when he comes back and being able to work with him in any capacity.”

Rollins then explains how he felt getting told by Vince McMahon that he would be cashing in his briefcase and would successfully walk out of ‘WrestleMania 31’ as the WWE World Heavyweight Champion.

“I don’t know how people imagined it, but I reacted with excitement and a sense of responsibility knowing I was gonna be the guy leaving WrestleMania with the WWE world heavyweight championship and I was gonna be responsible moving forward for filling arenas. For me, it was a great honor and great distinction and something that I’m super proud of, but it wasn’t like all of a sudden they sat down and told me this is what was gonna happen. It was a longer story than that.”

He also clarified when he was told he would win.

“Halfway through the show.”

As Linda McMahon is in Donald Trump’s cabinet, Rollins was asked if it was tough for them to speak out on Trump.

“It’s not anything that’s ever been addressed or discussed. The guys who want to make political statements, seem to do so and the guys who want to stay away from it don’t say anything. It honestly hasn’t been brought up privately or publicly at all.”

Finally, Rollins spoke about filming an upcoming movie titled ‘Armed Response’ that is due for release August 4.

“I enjoyed the process. It was a lot different than what I do on a weekly basis, so it was cool to A) be in one place for a month; that’s unusual and B) just to see how movies are made and how it all gets done. Now that we’re almost to the release date and I’ve seen the finished product, it’s very cool and rewarding to know we put in a lot of work on it, a lot of hours. It’s definitely something I would welcome the opportunity to do more of. It’s just, who knows if they’ll be there or not.”

Editor’s Note:

I didn’t even know Rollins was starring in a movie, but I’ll be sure to check it out. As for The Rock, that could be really interesting. Good that WWE allows their competitors to have their own say.
