Seth Rollins is excited to see how it plays out.
As confirmed following the March 21st episode of WWE SmackDown, Seth Rollins will face Roman Reigns and CM Punk in a Triple Threat Match at WWE WrestleMania 41. Rollins has history with both men, and they will all clash at WrestleMania.
Speaking on The Rich Eisen Show, Rollins was asked to comment on what facing Reigns and Punk at WWE WrestleMania 41.
“I mean, you look at it, three of the biggest icons in the last 15, 20 years. I think there’s a lot of animosity between the three characters that you mentioned. Real animosity, I know, between myself and Punk and Roman and Punk. I think a lot of professional respect between myself and Roman, but also, a little bit of distrust there. We’ve got a lengthy history. So I think what you’re going to get is three very, very combustible elements, and triple threat matches don’t have rules. There no disqualifications and no count-outs, so we have really have anything and everything at our disposal to take care of the other two. So I’m really excited for it. You don’t really get the opportunity to do Triple Threat matches at WrestleMania very often. It’s often a singles, one on one contest. So there’s a lot at play, and like you mentioned, a lot of history, and we got about a month to dig into all stuff, so I think it’ll come up, and I’ll be very curious to see what kind of emotions it elicits from our audience. We’re kind of three fan-favorites, but one thing I notice, as much as these crowds love me, the minute I start talking about CM Punk or Roman Reigns, they’re not too happy about that. That’s the way it is when Punk starts talking about me or Roman, or Roman starts talking about me or Punk. They love to put the finger in the air, but when you start running down the guys they like, then they don’t know how to feel. So there’s a lot of complex emotions going on between the three of us and between the audience. So I’m very interested to see how it plays out," Rollins said.
Rollins, Punk, and Reigns are set to sign the contract for the match on the March 28th episode of WWE SmackDown.
