Pat McAfee thinks Seth Rollins made some interesting points on WWE Raw.
On the January 29 episode of WWE Raw, World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins told Cody Rhodes he wanted "The American Nightmare" to choose him as his opponent at WrestleMania 40. Rhodes had been expected to pick Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns, but Rollins argued that he had elevated his title into the WWE's top championship.
Speaking on The Pat McAfee Show, McAfee commented on his first night as a member of the WWE Raw commentary team and brought up some highlights. He pointed to WWE Intercontinental Champion before he noted that Seth Rollins made a compelling case when he told Cody Rhodes he should face him at WrestleMania 40.
“Lot of slapping last night with Gunther. Those shots, you feel them. It’s like, ‘Who the hell…?’ I’m not taking one of those. He has [had the title for a long time]. Longest of all time. We’re talking about legendary runs right now. Seth ‘Freakin’ Rollins last night made quite a case for the World Heavyweight Championship to be the one that Cody Rhodes [should challenge for]. Compelling case," McAfee said.
Seth Rollins sent another message to Cody Rhodes on social media on January 30. More information is available here.
