Seth Rollins and Ricochet talk a possible World Heavyweight Championship match between the pair.
The two men have clashed before in 2006, where the two met years before either of them were signed to WWE. Now, they are both two of the biggest names on Monday Night RAW, and have a common enemy in Shinsuke Nakamura.
Speaking on WWE’s The Bump, Ricochet was asked to describe what a match between him and Rollins would look like in 2023.
“Definitely a lot more hard-hitting than in 2006. Definitely a lot more strategic than in 2006. I think both of us have matured obviously a lot sense then, not only as men but as performers, as wrestlers. So I think, especially everything that he’s capable of doing, alongside everything that in capable of doing, and everything we’re willing to put our bodies through to get to where we need to go, it would be pretty wild, that’s for sure,”

Rollins would be a guest on the show later on, and gave his opinion on a possible matchup between the pair with the World Title on the line.
Well, 17 years later, it looks like probably 50 more pounds of muscle between the two of us, at least, if not more. We were just two skinny kids back then. Yeah, it’s gonna look night and day compared to what it was two decades ago. Like you said, we’ve both grown so much as human beings and performers, everything’s gonna be different. You wouldn’t even be able to put the two matches up against each other. Here’s the thing, I would love to do it, though. We’ve gotta get it done at some point. I’d love to get it done one of these times while I still got the title on my shoulder. I think Ricochet has been long overdue for a World Heavyweight Championship match, so we gotta get it done. I’m gonna put in a word with Adam Pearce, see if we can’t get that thing done. Ricochet, he’s been working. I’d love to do it. I think the WWE Universe would be keen to it. I think it would be a great time. I know it would look a lot different, but I don’t know exactly what it would look like. So I would be very excited to see,”

Ricochet is scheduled to take on Shinsuke Nakamura on next Monday’s RAW in singles action.
