Seth Rollins has already established himself as a future Hall of Famer with several WrestleMania wins. This year, he will compete in another marquee match at WrestleMania 41, facing Roman Reigns and CM Punk in a grudge-filled triple threat. In an interview, The Architect discussed the possibility of main eventing WrestleMania for the second year in a row.

In a recent interview with Front Office Sports, the former World Heavyweight Champion was asked if he considered his match against Roman Reigns and Punk a main event. He said it wasn’t necessary to label it as such and was comfortable with its position on the card. Rollins added that the match itself was a main event, given the big names involved.

The intense rivalry between the three megastars began at this year’s Royal Rumble. In the final moments, The Best in the World eliminated both Reigns and Rollins before being eliminated by Logan Paul. A brawl broke out outside the ring, setting up their eventual clash at the Showcase of the Immortals.

On the latest episode of Monday Night Raw, the 38-year-old veteran addressed the crowd. He told the WWE Universe that his two “favorite people” would be on the upcoming SmackDown in Italy. Rollins announced he would travel there to confront Punk and Reigns. Chaos is bound to erupt when these three megastars collide.

Seth Rollins talked about his wife Becky Lynch’s WWE return

Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch have built iconic careers and continue to chase greatness together. While Rollins remained a cornerstone for WWE in 2024, Lynch took a break for the majority of the year. Her last match was a Steel Cage bout against Liv Morgan following her title loss at the King and Queen of the Ring PLE.

When asked about Becky’s potential return to WWE, The Architect didn’t deny it. He assured fans they hadn’t seen the last of her in the ring. However, he clarified that she would decide for herself and return when she was ready. Rollins also admitted he understood the fans’ feelings and missed having her on the road with him.

I don’t think we’ve seen the last of her in a WWE ring, but when the timing is right, she’ll be back. I know the fans are looking forward to it. I’m just having my wife on the road with me, so I’ll be excited about it as well. But I’m not exactly sure what the timing is on that.

The 38-year-old star admitted he didn’t know when his wife would return. After her contract ended in June last year, many speculated she might join AEW. However, The Man shut down the rumors by signing a new WWE contract earlier this year. Fans are hoping she plays a major role at WrestleMania 41.

Seth Rollins sees future in helping young WWE talents and work behind the curtains

Several factors have driven WWE’s massive success over the past two years. One major reason is former wrestlers like Triple H and Shawn Michaels taking full creative control. Like his idols, Rollins has also expressed interest in joining the creative team and helping WWE as much as possible.

In the same interview, Rollins was asked if he had considered joining the creative team. He admitted that while it was still a long way off, he was interested in the idea. The former world champion said he would like to take on that role when the time is right.

“Oh yeah I mean its long way off but it’s certainly something I am interested in as well. It’s certainly something I love to be a part of, I mean I don’t know what it would look like but I would not be the first former wrestler to be in that position. I’ve always been so creatively inclined that way.”
