– Seth Rollins spoke in a new WWE video talking about tomorrow’s Greatest Royal Rumble event. You can see the video below, as well as some highlights:

On the energy in Saudi Arabia leading up to the event: “There’s a lot of energy, this event is really unprecedented and you can kind of feel that. Our crew along with the local people here, it’s really been an incredible experience so far.”

On the fans in the country: “The fanbase is just super excited. I think they’re as, almost nervous and excited and anxious as we are just because it’s such an unprecedented event. We’ve never done anything like this, definitely never had a pay-per-view broadcast out of the Middle East. We’re going to put 10’s of thousands of people in that arena, the card is stacked…it’s really going to be an incredible experience and the energy has been off the wall.”

On his match: “It’s really my first Intercontinental Championship defense since I won the title at WrestleMania. You’ve got three guys – Samoa Joe, The Miz and Finn Balor, all of who’d love to go back home as Intercontinental Champion but I really plan on defending this title for a long time. It’s got a storied history and I’d like to be a huge part of that.”
