Seth Rollins recalls WrestleMania 40.
Cody Rhodes was finally able to cash in on his lifelong dream of being a world champion in WWE earlier this year, as he defeated Roman Reigns to win the Undisputed WWE Championship. Earlier in the night, Seth Rollins lost his gold, dropping the World Heavyweight Championship to Drew McIntyre.
As it turns out, Rollins was very happy with 'The American Nightmare' and his title win, saying that it brought him joy and jealousy.
"I had a different experience watching Cody win the title. I felt joy, probably a little bit of jealousy. Rollins said while speaking to Chris Van Vliet for a new interview. "I’ve never really been the guy who has been handed the ball that way. For the last ten years, it’s been Roman, for the most part, and then Cody comes back and he kind of gets that treatment as well. I’ve always felt like I wanted to be that person, and I could be that guy, but it just wasn’t for me in the eyes of the people who were making those decisions. There was this joy and happiness that we cross a proverbial finish line, certainly a little bit of professional jealousy as well. Look, Roman doesn’t get to where he’s at without me, I don’t think. I think he’d tell you that as well. Certainly Cody coming back, there is a reason why when he came back, I was the person they put him with. I don’t think he’s where he’s at if it’s not for me. I don’t mean that in a way that is arrogant, but I’ve always been the person who wanted to put the industry and company before my own personal desires. I was okay with it. If all did better, if the company did better, and the business as a whole was healthier, I felt like I was doing my part, even if it was kind of an ensemble."
Elsewhere in the interview, Rollins confirmed that he is not in the final cut of 'Captain America: Brave New World'. Learn more by clicking here.
