Who should Seth face at WrestleMania?

[@RB-Tuber7]

Drew of course 🎉

[@MatthewBreck]

Sean Ross Sapp

[@michaelmartinez3893]

The Rock

[@KenLantern]

Drew or LA Knight

[@childishbuendeeno]

Drew

[@ajrollins1757]

Respect to Seth for speaking on the lawsuit.

[@greenbluntern1168]

Simple, accurate, spoke his mind, told it like it is and didn’t make the company look bad, a true spokesman for WWE. Triple H did not look so well doing it but I guess it’s much more difficult for him to talk about it in the position he is.

[@ParadiseDB7]

​​He doesn't want to talk about. Nobody can force him.​ You are not OWED anything @@greenbluntern1168

[@idkanymore3382]

Has to be a first choice hall of famer!

It does though.

[@Rodimusprimerib]

Seth seems to be a awesome person to interview, answers questions and gives great answers. You love to see & hear it

[@lpn8585]

That’s the best current belt in the industry. Love it being on Seth’s shoulder.

[@Yoni123]

An incredible lineage of one champion....

[@Yoni123]

@@xddddddddddd4646 current belts always have a lineage that should be considered

[@lossiiburns]

😂😂😂😂

[@arijitjayaswal]

He handled the Vince question so much better than Triple H

[@jamesarnold7253]

That's because he legitimately wants any guilty party to be punished fairly. HHH wants the whole thing to be paid off and go away without consequences

[@powerofthejuice45]

Not to mention he has a closer connection to vince then seth. It is his father-in-law after all.

[@tylerblair318]

​@powerofthejuice45 still doesn't excuse the response, it seemed largely dismissive in a way that attracted more attention than anything. There's a way to shut things down without just handwaving it. I'd imagine TKO let him hang himself on that because he'd either sink or swim and that would tell the new execs a lot about his personal involvement.

[@chriss790]

​@jamesarnold7253 easy cowboy. HHH may have many views on the matter. It's his family

[@dinozzo97]

@@jamesarnold7253Well Triple H is up against a wall. Triple H also has his 3 daughters to think about. Vince is still their grandfather. Even if he wants to say something, Triple H has his kids to protect and that probably the reason he’s avoiding saying anything on that matter. He has a “No Comment” attitude right now and as a Parent. If I had a Father-In-Law who was handed allegations/law suit like that…I don’t think I would say much either because anything I say can cause a ripple effect towards my kids. I wouldn’t want that.

[@myaccount__7269]

“It’s a crap situation” really good choice of words Seth hahahaha

[@majinpvegeta]

Video presentation in these little interviews are great. Glad you got to be there live to witness probably the best press conference ever.

[@danielsolorzano8623]

Honestly I am surprised he said that much about the Vince situation. I expected a no comment

[@Untitled-sb4ft]

He’s got an actual backbone. Could of added more venom tho

[@IPlayGamesMate]

He's not afraid. Man almost killed his WWE run in 2018 by talking trash about other indie wrestling show and he was the universal champ back then

[@jamesarnold7253]

You can tell he wants to see actual justice done. A lot of the others who have been asked about it had responsibilities that could see themselves involved

[@Yoni123]

What trash did he talk in 2018? I didn't really watch much at a point. Now I'm watching every week! ​@@IPlayGamesMate

[@YourXellency]

Vince is still in charge. If you don’t believe it, then just don’t. Respects to you. Hahahaha!😊

[@SheriffOutlaw]

Not gonna lie. That suit is on point. Emerald Green is my favorite color and Rollins rocks those colors well

[@christopherd2889]

Great questions and really classy answers. Good work, Sean.

[@Fightful]

Thank you

[@myemail2418]

Love, Seth man

[@Fightful]

He's great

[@danillosilva210]

I want a serious seth again.

[@firstpersonwinner7404]

I know not everyone agrees but I like the current Seth: flashy on the surface but still serious and feisty underneath

[@mblair5327]

I respect Seth for speaking about Vince like a pro.

[@jeffreypridemore100]

SRS looking pretty slick out there

[@Fightful]

Thanks!

[@LillPopp]

Respect for Seth for being honest about the fact that he wants the guilty parties to be punished in the lawsuit and actually speaking the truth when asked.

[@Jawad-wq5yk]

Seth Rollins ❤❤❤

[@sanketsb758]

Respect for Seth Rollins

[@jimbobdc]

It's good to hear someone speak about the lawsuit. Everyone's been so quiet, now finally we know that the wrestlers are pissed off too.

[@franksequeira23]

Seth could just walkout at Mania with no fixed opponent and just say he's giving an open invitation to anyone in the back who's he's never faced.

[@popopeepee4218]

He's a great talent. Wish seth was utilized better these past few weeks tho.

[@brianmcdonald7017]

Hes literally injured lol

[@popopeepee4218]

@@brianmcdonald7017 i mean not get buried with the title. He also looked like he didn't belong in the confrontation with roman rock and cody. That's why i said he should've been utilized better

[@MrEast111]

@@popopeepee4218 Yeah, I totally agree! The Rock and Cody were so focused on Roman, while Seth, as a world champion, seemed to be doing absolutely nothing. It's like his title doesn't even matter. Personally, I'm not a big fan of his current gimmick, but I can't help but feel sorry for him.

[@IPlayGamesMate]

​​@@MrEast111i thought he was gonna turn heel because of the CM punk storyline. Punk wins the rumble and Seth comes out and beats him up I want the rollins from cody vs seth or edge vs seth

[@MrSolomon21368]

Hes injured ????

[@thedopeboy]

Him not wanting too much from wwe other then what’s fair and he wants to stay with wwe forever is very respectable

[@GrymmJymm]

Seth injured his knee by carrying Raw and that title on the weekly. They have roasted him and the belt the last week and change, but that isn’t any real shadow cast on Seth’s talent and ability. They just need to adjust and recalibrate his treatment in the storyline.

[@ItsJustUsEnt]

He bern bashing Roman the whole time he was on that long ass Vacation. He called it the Hulk Hogan Poser Belt. And Hogan always talks good snd says he likes Rollins. If he dishin it out why he cant get Roasted back

[@GrymmJymm]

@@ItsJustUsEnt oh he can absolutely get roasted like anyone else on that roster, but if they want to keep using him and that belt they still have to keep him looking strong. Show he can take the burns.

[@stevenkim6812]

Seth is putting out amazing work - one of the most consistent high level wrestlers out there

[@idkanymore3382]

Seth is a second tier champion

[@williambaez5902]

Rollins is great he is the champ

[@omarintraffic2385]

My favorite wrestler

[@44Mag]

Seth is one of the best Champions of all time, and is a good ambassador of the sport. I have seen him at live shows, and when the cameras are turned off, he still spends time with the fans.... I hope he continues to hold the belt and represent the WWE when so much negative things are going on. The ultimate situation would be for Seth to retain the title, and his wife Becky win the belt from Ripley, so we have a Super Power Couple - Both holding the belts, and then they tag together against other couples.... What a ratings blow-out!!!

[@AndrewsOpinion15]

HAPPY 38TH BIRTHDAY SETH ROLLINS !!!!

[@chrisszyyy]

That belt look gorgeous!

[@CryptoMischief]

SRS is so freaking tall!

[@nataliescott2261]

Same bro same

[@user-hq1cl4jj2o]

Great way of talking and honestb

[@oktover3031]

that title looks so much better than the undisputed title. It sucks it doenst share any legacy with the old WH title then maybe it would have a little bit more of legacy

[@dex8624]

Seth been underrated for a few months now. Gonna cook soon

[@gregorynelson4609]

Sean, you need a jacket like Seth!

It would

I'll say this Seth and drew that's all there is to it 💪💪💪👍😎

[@Flipper0509]

As much as seth has been in the background, i really want him to unload on rock and roman. He needs his truth to be heard

[@TheMattGilbert]

What a guy. SRS is doing great, superb questions and confidence.

[@Fightful]

Appreciate it

[@ShinyMew76]

I’m super glad Cody choose Roman, I’m also happy we have a second world championship. Drew McIntyre and Seth Rollins are gonna put on a show at WM for RAW’s top prize!

Glad to hear it!

[@lyrca1309]

watching WWF/WWE over 30 years, i honestly can say, SETH IS THE MAN, he is the true Champion, love him so much! and i really hope that The Rock will not abuse his Power on the Board of D... i like him very much heel or face IT DOESNT MATTER... just do the right thing Rock. pls!!! The Future is now, WWE was never is such a good term and shape. Vince is leaving now finally!!! and pls we dont need another 15 Years of BS, and Power abuse... we are sick of it Seth, Trips, and Cody... give them some free space pls

4k video looks great

My favorite is Sean Ross blocking people on X because he can't take criticism. Should learn from the best at Pwinsider on how to not be so sensitive

[@rollwithdynamite]

it is a crap situation indeed.
