Seth Rollins claims he's jealous of fellow WWE Superstar; plants potential seeds
Seth Rollins has admitted that he was jealous of a WWE Superstar following his major victory. The Visionary battled Damian Priest for the World Heavyweight Championship this past Saturday night at Money in the Bank but failed to capture the title.
Cody Rhodes squared off against Roman Reigns in the main event of WrestleMania XL. Rollins showed up during the match in The Shield attire to distract Roman Reigns. It worked, and The American Nightmare was able to win the Undisputed WWE Championship after planting the Tribal Chief with three Cross Rhodes.
Speaking with Michael Cole ahead of Money in the Bank, Rollins admitted he was jealous of Rhodes after he finished his story and defeated Reigns at The Show of Shows.
"Yeah, it was interesting, there was probably a hint of jealousy in there somewhere, but I felt fulfilled for the first time in my career. I took a breath, and I said, 'I'm gonna be okay.' And I felt like I could take a rest for the first time in twelve years. I felt like I'm going to get this surgery, and everything is going to be okay," he said. [From 04:32 - 04:55]
