Seth Rollins Addresses His Future
WWE World Heavyweight Champion, Seth Rollins makes his way down to the ring. ‘The Architect’ is sporting a brace on his injured left knee and he allows the crowd to sing his theme song for longer than normal as he looks on pretty emotional. Rollins welcomes everyone to ‘Monday Night Rollins,’ and says he’s not going to waste anytime. Rollins says he suffered a grade two MCL tear as well as a partial medial tear of his meniscus during his successful title defense, last Monday night over Jinder Mahal.
Rollins says doctors told him that with surgery, he’ll be out three to five months, and before he can continue, GUNTHER, alongside Ludwig Kaiser and Giovanni Vinci make their way down. GUNTHER says Rollins doesn’t have to worry about Imperium attacking him, but Rollins does need to worry about him (GUNTHER). Rollins says GUNTHER never let him finish and he was about to say he doesn’t care what the doctors say, because he’ll walk into WrestleMania as World Heavyweight Champion and he’ll walk out of WrestleMania as World Heavyweight Champion.
GUNTHER says he plans on winning this weekend’s Royal Rumble and he’ll challenge Rollins at WrestleMania. GUNTHER says he’ll be honest with Rollins and tells him that he’s going to go right after his injured left leg and his injured back at WrestleMania and he’ll become the new World Heavyweight Champion.
GUNTHER and Rollins shake hands but at ringside, Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods rush Kaiser and Vinci out of nowhere and the brawl is on!
