Who does Seth Rollins want to face at WrestleMania 40 if it were up to him?
At Elimination Chamber on February 24th, the Men’s Chamber match will determine the new number one contender for Rollins’ World Heavyweight Championship, with the title match taking place at WrestleMania. Competing for the opportunity will be Kevin Owens, Bobby Lashley, Randy Orton, Logan Paul, Drew McIntyre and LA Knight.
Although Rollins is very familiar with all the competitors in the match, The Visionary would love to run back one of his all-time great Mania matches. In 2015 at WrestleMania 31, Rollins went one-on-one with The Viper. One of the best matches on the card, fans mostly associate the match with one of the greatest RKOs of Orton’s career.
Speaking with Nathan, Nat and Shaun, Rollins discussed the classic encounter and wants a rematch:
“I want to face Randy. I owe him one. We had a WrestleMania match many moons ago. WrestleMania 31. Nine years later, we’re both in different places in our careers. Seth Rollins vs. Randy Orton on the marquee sounds beautiful,”
Although Rollins would lose the match to Orton, he would end the night on a much better note as he cashed in his Money in the Bank contract in the main event of the show.
In a separate interview, Seth Rollins discussed The Rock’s in-ring abilities.
