Seth Rollins Wishes Cameras Had Been Backstage For Hell in a Cell Match With Bray Wyatt

Seth Rollins may not be the biggest fan of WWE: Unreal, but he wishes there had been cameras to document what went down around his Hell in a Cell match with Bray Wyatt. The infamous match took place at Hell in a Cell 2019 and is legendary for how much backlash it received from fans. Seth Rollins defended the WWE Championship against Wyatt in his Fiend persona and Rollins won via referee stoppage. The finish made no sense to many fans due to the match stipulation and Wyatt’s character, and the decision to light the match with deep red lights made it literally difficult to watch.

Rollins and Becky Lynch appeared on My Mom’s Basement with Robbie Fox and were asked if they had any moments they wish had been documented in a WWE: Unreal manner. While Lynch said no, Rollins quickly picked the match with Wyatt. You can see highlights below:

On Wishing Cameras Could Have Documented the Hell in a Cell Match:

“Oh, I wish they were there for the Hell in a Cell match with Bray Wyatt. I wish they were there for that whole weekend, so they could really see what went down. You know, that’s that’s one of those where like, there’s such a terrible connotation to that experience from a outside standpoint. And I just go, ‘No one really knows what happened there.’ And I can’t describe it to a point that it makes sense where people have a different feeling about it.

“If you could have seen that from start to finish, that week all the way up till the end of that match and the next day? I think people would have a different maybe — I don’t know [about] appreciation, but a little different. There’d be a little more empathy, maybe.”

On Why That’s His Pick:

“I think it’s just hard, because there’s a — you know, there’s this narrative that gets out sometimes and then that story sticks. And when that becomes the truth, when perception becomes the reality. And that — it’s hard to to reckon with that sometimes. It’s hard to be like, you know that’s not the truth, and you know that’s not the real story. But there’s no amount of — you can’t change that narrative and it just is what it is. And that will eat you up a little bit sometimes.

“And that one specifically. And I think for me, that one I can name and say it mostly because it’s a defense for Windham, who’s not here to defend himself. And I know that that experience really bothered him. And like, he always wanted to be able to work with me and vice versa, I wanted to work with him again to be able to get a better shot at that. Because we loved each other and we loved working with each other, but like not with — that scenario was so awful for both of us. And for him to never be able to get that? I can put that out there and say, ‘I wish we would have had an opportunity to show what happened there and then come back and do it better.'”
