Seth Rollins Comments on His First Match Back From Injury at WrestleMania 42 Being “Nerve-Wracking”
Seth Rollins is currently scheduled to compete in a singles match against Gunther at next weekend’s WrestleMania 42 event in Las Vegas, Nevada. This will be Rollins’ first match since his shoulder injury this past October.
ESPN held a recent interview with Rollins. One of the topics discussed included Rollins’ thoughts about his history with Gunther in their wrestling careers.
“He’s the real deal, that guy there’s no joke there. He’s legitimate. I mean you watch his body of work and I’ve been, this is a guy that I’ve known since he was Walter back in his wXw days in Germany. I crossed paths with him and he’s one of those guys that we have something very similar in that we came from kind of nowhere. No one really thought that we were going to be huge, major stars in the industry when we were young cats. And now we’re at a point where ‘here we are at Wrestlemania’, the Grandest Stage, two of the most renowned in-ring performers, the last two decades.
And this will be our first real go at it. We’ve had one in-ring encounter which was like seven years ago and this will be this will be an interesting test and especially for my first match back”
Rollins also gave his thoughts about his mindset ahead of his match at WrestleMania 42 and him wrestling for the first time since his shoulder injury.
“As far as outcome is concerned. What I will predict is that I will put on a show because it’s Wrestlemania and that’s what I do. And so, if anybody out there is wondering what version of Seth Rollins we’re going to get, I promise you right now, I will look you dead in the eye. You are going to get the very best version. You are going to get the Wrestlemania version of Seth Rollins that you know and are accustomed to.
I’ve been jonesing for it. Yeah, it’s exciting. I mean, it’s nerve-wracking anytime you come back and your first match is at WrestleMania. You don’t even get a couple of trial runs or anything like that. You’re just into the fire.”
