Seth Rollins Wants Daniel Bryan to Win the Royal Rumble

January 24, 2015 | Posted by Jeffrey Harris

The Independent recently interviewed WWE Superstar Seth Rollins. Below are some highlights.

Rollins on his goal to win the title at the Royal Rumble: ā€œIt is certainly in my plan to walk out as the WWE World Heavyweight Champion by hook or by crook. Things donā€™t always go according to plan, but I’ve been pretty successful in putting my plans into action over the course of the last few months, so yes Iā€™m extremely excited for this opportunity. If you look at the list of guys who have had matches with Brock Lesnar since his return itā€™s pretty small to say the least, so to be in that company is quite rewarding personally and professionally. To be on the marquee with Cena and Lesnar in such a high profile PPV is pretty awesome for me as well, and another feather in my cap for what has already been an incredible run over the last year.ā€

Rollins on his hope of Daniel Bryan winning the Rumble: ā€œFor this year, itā€™s an interesting situation, as there are so many possibilities. I wouldn’t mind Daniel Bryan winning the Royal Rumble and going on to face me for the WWE Championship at Wrestlemania, because if you look at what Daniel Bryan did last year, what a tremendous story and if he does it again this year, Iā€™d like to be the guy who stomps out his dream. I think thatā€™s a great story, so it would be very interesting for me to be in that situation in the Wrestlemania main event with Daniel Bryan, considering we’ve had matches in much smaller venues in front of much less people.ā€

His thoughts on the last NXT Takeover special: ā€œI watched the last Takeover special, R-Evolution, and I thought it was pretty awesome. Itā€™s really cool to see guys Iā€™m familiar with, my friends being shown as the stars that they are. Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn, Finn Balor and Hideo Itami, these guys are people that Iā€™ve worked with in different parts of the world or that I’ve watched and respected for years, so itā€™s great to see them get to enjoy that atmosphere that is NXT, and get to really capitalize on what NXT has to offer. Iā€™m looking forward to seeing those guys on the main roster with me headlining PPVs, itā€™s a really cool time to be a part of our crew.ā€
