Seth Rollins Says John Cena Was The Hardest Guy to Keep In the Dark About His ‘Injury’

Seth Rollins had to lie to a lot of people to keep his worked injury last year secret, and he says John Cena was the hardest for him to lie to. Rollins’ worked injury was one of the major focuses of WWE: Unreal, which looked at the faked injury that led to Rollins cashing in Money in the Bank at WWE SummerSlam on CM Punk.

Rollins was a guest on The Sal Licata Show and talked about keeping the secret. He noted that Cena was the toughest for him and revealed when Cena found out. You can check out the highlights below:

On Who Was the Most Difficult To Keep the Secret From:

I don’t know who they smartened up.’ So I just played dumb for as long as I could.

On When Cena Found Out:

“I think like a week later, a few days later, he texts me back and was like with — you know, unwarranted. He just texted again and was like, ‘Well played, sir. Well played.'[laughs]

“But it did did hurt my feelings. You know, I was like, ‘Oh, John’s like’ — Some of my closer friends that I was like, ‘Oh, I don’t want to have to lie to, but I don’t know who’s told who.’ And so I just had to keep it as close to the vest as possible.”
