Seth Rollins is not buying Roman Reigns’ version of history. In a new interview, Rollins flatly dismissed Reigns’ claim that he made the World Heavyweight Championship relevant, calling the narrative “complete bullsh*t” and framing his former Shield brother as a man rewriting a story Rollins himself helped build.
Reigns added to his legacy at WrestleMania 42 when he defeated CM Punk to win the World Heavyweight Championship. Since then, the “OTC” has leaned into the title talk, repeatedly boasting about how he elevated the championship.
Rollins, who has long been tied to that title’s credibility, made it clear he takes the claim personally.
Seth Rollins Calls Roman Reigns’ Title Talk “Complete Bullsh*t”
Speaking with Prince St. Pizza, ‘The Visionary’ did not hold back when describing how he feels watching Reigns parade around with the championship.
“It’s really difficult for me to feel any which way other than disgusted by the result. So now, Roman Reigns is walking around with my title, talking about how he made the title relevant, which is bullshit. I’ll just say it. It’s complete bullshit. He knows it, I know it, everybody else knows it. He sounds like an idiot when he says it.”
The comments add genuine heat to a rivalry rooted in years of shared history between the two former Shield members.
King Of The Ring Path Toward Reigns
Rollins now has a competitive route to back up the talk. He is set to compete in a first-round King of the Ring matchup on the June 8 episode of WWE Raw, with his sights set on Reigns and the World Heavyweight Championship.
