Seth Rollins has a message for Triple H: give him the WrestleMania main event he still feels is missing from his career.
Speaking on The Kittle Things podcast alongside Becky Lynch, Rollins said he wants to be advertised for the match that closes Night Two. His famous Money in the Bank cash-in at WrestleMania 31 doesn’t quite tick that box.
“Would you count Money in the Bank in 2015? Does that count as a main event at WrestleMania? Most people consider it part of the main event. If you look at it on the lineup, it would be because, technically, it’s a triple threat match, because I changed the match to a triple threat. But I was not on the marquee. I wasn’t advertised as the main event.
“So, at this point, there are many, many arguments to be had. I feel like I’ve never been in a main event of WrestleMania.”
Rollins left that night as WWE World Heavyweight Champion after cashing in during Brock Lesnar’s match against Roman Reigns. But for him, stealing the show and being billed to headline it are different achievements.
“I’ve had Night One main events, and I helped in the Night Two main event at WrestleMania 40 with Cody and Roman. And I had the cash-in, but I’ve never been the person on the marquee to finish the show on Night Two.”
When hosts George and Claire Kittle backed his ambition, Rollins took his case straight to WWE’s creative boss. He also admitted his remaining opportunities could be limited.
“Mr. Triple H, let’s work on that. Whoever’s in charge. It’s a tough sell. It’s a tough sell. Maybe I’ve got a few years left. We’ll see if I can get there.”
Rollins understands why fans already consider him a WrestleMania headliner, particularly given his prominent role in the build to WrestleMania 40.
“Everybody has a different perspective on that, especially now that it’s gone to two nights. She’s like, ‘Oh yeah, you’ve main-evented WrestleMania 40 because the poster material is me, Cody, Roman and Rock.’ So, you know, I’m there. I was World Heavyweight Champion.”
Still, his ambition couldn’t be clearer.
“I want another one.”
