Seth Rollins has shared his thoughts on the factors coming into play for the triple threat Undisputed WWE Title Match at WWE Night of Champions on Saturday. The PLE will see Cody Rhodes put his title on the line against both Gunther and Sami Zayn, a heated rivalry that features plenty of animosity between all three men at the moment. Rhodes retained the title against Gunther on WWE Smackdown last week, but Sami Zayn’s involvement marred the result.
Rollins has his own match against Bron Breakker at the PLE, but he took a moment to weigh in on the title match while talking with ESPN Get Up. Rollins was asked who has the advantage and who has the most to lose in the bout, and you can see the highlights below:
On Who Has the Most To Lose:
“I think the most to lose is the champion. I mean, that’s always the case. I think Cody Rhodes [is] someone who is a fighting champion, who’s not afraid to pick a fight — as a matter of fact, he asked for this match. He asked to be put in a triple threat match with both these guys who are extremely dangerous competitors. Gunther, someone that I was in the ring with at WrestleMania — actually beat me at WrestleMania, thanks to Bron Breakker. And Sami Zayn, someone who I’ve known for over 20 years, is one of the best in the game.”
“So, I think Cody’s got the most to lose because he’s the champion, and the odds are a little bit against him. Because he does not have to be pinned or submitted to lose his title.”
On Who Has the Best Advantage:
“I think the person with the best advantage if I’m being honest, currently is Gunther. He’s got the size advantage. And also, he’s not really locked into the personal issue that seems to be going on between Cody and Sami Zayn. Sami and Cody have had — they’ve been friends, and now they’re enemies but not quite. There’s a lot of emotion that’s involved there.”
“Gunther, he’s able to isolate from that. He takes the emotion and puts it aside; he’s there to do a job, and that’s win the title. And that makes him an extremely dangerous participant in this triple threat.”
