Who Needs Him? Seth Rollins On The Rock: "We Don't Need You Big Guy."

That’s good? One of the biggest stories of the wrestling year has been the surprise return of the Rock, who seems ready to face Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 40 in April. That is the kind of change that has shaken up a lot of things in WWE and several of them are not exactly positive. One WWE Superstar had something to say about the Rock’s return and it was not entirely positive.

WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins was a guest on Good Morning Football this week and discussed the Rock’s return to the company. Rollins said that while WWE is happy to have the Rock back, they do not need him, citing the recent broadcasting deals for Monday Night Raw and SmacKDown. Rollins also said that he had been carrying Monday Night Raw for years and that Rock was “riding his coattails into WrestleMania”. Rock is scheduled to appear at this week’s WrestleMania media event in Las Vegas.

“If ?@TheRock? wants to ride my coattails into Wrestlemania, that’s fine…We don’t need ya…we’d love to have ya… but we don’t need ya, big guy.”

It’s a weird combination. Check out what the two of them have been doing lately:

Opinion: This is the kind of thing that will likely get people talking and that is what matters here. WWE getting as many people paying attention to WrestleMania season is what matters most as this is the most important time of the year. WWE has a lot of work to do and if they can make it work, we could be in for one of the biggest WrestleManias in a very long time.
