Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns are likely to always be compared.
Debuting as The Shield (w/ Dean Ambrose), Rollins and Reigns have been the backbone of WWE programming for over a decade. Now, with both men as the top champion on their respective brand, it was inevitable that Seth's Heavyweight Championship reign would be compared to that of Roman's 1000+ days as Universal Champion.
Speaking with the New York Post, Rollins shared how he feels about being compared to Roman, saying that he loves it.
"Immediately people are going to compare whatever my title reign is gonna be to what his title reign is gonna be, my stories to his stories, my character to his character, my promo to his promo and it’s inevitable. It’s awesome. Great, I love it. Let’s talk about it. It’s only gonna make things more exciting. It’s only gonna polarize people more. It’s only gonna give people stronger opinions. Let’s go. I love it. Whatever you got to say, you think about, I’m excited to hear it. I’m excited that we are both in great positions in the prime of our careers. Two different titles. Two different approaches," he said.
Continuing on, Seth commented on a possible showdown between himself and Reigns, arguing that interest will always be there for that matchup.
"It’s always there and it’s always gonna be a matchup people are interested in seeing, and the further we get away from it I think the more people will want to see it when you start to touch on it again. I think that it’s just inevitable. We came up together. We grew into WWE together. We built the industry into what it is over the last decade. We are really going to make it in our image over the next decade and hopefully, we’ll leave the place better than we found it. That matchup is always gonna be huge. Whenever we get back to it, I hope it’s at the right place at the right time," Rollins said.
Seth and Roman have only had two televised singles matches since 2019, one on SmackDown in October 2019, and the other at the 2022 Royal Rumble. Both matches ended with Rollins winning via disqualification.
