Seth Rollins was forced to vacate the WWE World Heavyweight Championship back in October after suffering a torn rotator cuff, an event that became the primary domino to fall in a series of events that led to CM Punk and Roman Reigns headlining WWE WrestleMania 42. Rollins was on the WrestleMania card as he faced off with GUNTHER, but it surely’s clear he felt like he must have been within the most important event given his recent comments in an interview with “Prince St. Pizza,” stating that he was disgusted by the match.
“WrestleMania this yr was a bit tricky for me man,” Rollins said. “So I tore my rotator cuff back in October, but I used to be holding that title. I lost it, had to present the title up, didn’t get beaten in a match for it, I needed to forfeit it because I needed to go get surgery on the rotator. So I used to be out for five months, within the interim, CM Punk wins the title, takes it into WrestleMania and he’s wrestling, within the most important event mind you, my other rival, this fella named Roman Reigns right? So you have got two of my worst enemies fight one another for my title, in my most important event, and I even have to observe that, I even have to swallow that. So it’s really difficult for me to feel any which way apart from disgusted by the result.”
Rollins is not giving up on reclaiming what he thinks is rightfully is. He does have a route back to the title he never technically lost as he’ll compete on this yr’s King of the Ring tournament, together with his first round match happening on the June 8 episode of “WWE Raw” as he takes on Ricky Saints, Talla Tonga, and Je’Von Evans in a Fatal 4 Match. If he wins the tournament, he’ll earn a title shot at WWE SummerSlam, and it’s secure to say that “The Tribal Chief” will likely be on his mind.
