Seth Rollins steps in to open this edition of ‘Monday Night Rollins’. “It’s my favorite time of the year because WrestleMania season is about to start. And this starts with me winning the Royal Rumble Match ,” says ‘The Visionary’, and then goes on to recall ‘the most embarrassing defeat’ of his professional career, when he fell to CM Punk at the beginning of the year. Rollins comments that he questioned himself, coming to the conclusion that he is a man who, when he sets his mind to it, is unstoppable. This will be the Rumble with the most stars in history, and that doesn’t matter to Rollins. John Cena? He will be eliminated. Jey Uso, Drew McIntyre, Sami Zayn, everyone, will be eliminated. Roman Reigns? He especially will be eliminated.
Rollins dreams of a final one-on-one against CM Punk to take away his WrestleMania dream for good. What championship will he chase after winning? Gunther’s World Heavyweight Championship sounds good , though that would be a bit too obvious since Seth has held that title in the past. But then there’s also the Undisputed WWE Championship… wouldn’t it be poetic for Rollins to take the same title from Cody Rhodes that he helped him win at last year’s WrestleMania? Who should Seth Rollins face? Gunther interrupts! “The Ring General” wonders where Seth Rollins has been the past few months, while he was just this past weekend in San Antonio facing that clown Jey Uso.
Gunther mentions that Seth has been whining, forgetting what really matters in this company; the Austrian suggests to Rollins that he get away from the noise and focus on winning the Royal Rumble, although he thinks that he no longer has what it takes to do it . Rollins responds, reminding Gunther that the World Title he wears, is synonymous with him; and he is not Damian Priest or Jey Uso… Gunther knows perfectly well who Seth Freakin’ Rollins is, but it is 2025, and he is no longer the best wrestler in WWE. Gunther is the best wrestler, and the belt he wears around his waist proves it. “The Ring General” challenges Rollins to go win the Royal Rumble, choose to face him and thus, he will be able to realize that the World Title is only synonymous with GUNTHER.
