Seth Rollins was in full sell mode regarding the fake injury he suffered last month at WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event.
Rollins returned Saturday night at SummerSlam and cashed in his Money in the Bank briefcase on CM Punk to become World Heavyweight Champion once again.
WWE Superstar Seth Rollins was a recent guest on The Rich Eisen Show. During his appearance, Rollins detailed the lengths that he went to sell the injury heading into SummerSlam.
“My wife is an unwilling participant in this ruse,” Seth Rollins said. “She was very upset at me for making me lie to all of her friends and family for the better part of three weeks. She was very upset. I said, ‘Honey, just trust me, the payoff will be great.’ My daughter thought it was a game. She thought it was a fun little game.
“I told her, ‘Daddy has a pretend boo-boo for the next few weeks. Let’s keep that on the low.’ First thing she did was go and tell her preschool teacher, Ms. Joy, immediately. Then, she had to tell me she told Ms. Joy and gave me the classic, ‘Na-na-boo-boo, I told Ms. Joy.’ I’m like, ‘How am I supposed to live my life? How am I supposed to get this through. Focus. Kayfabe, young Roux, kayfabe.’ Here we are, three weeks later, nobody went to the dirt sheets or the news. Thank you, Roux, thank you, Ms. Joy. It was an honor and a pleasure.
Three weeks of being on crutches
“The payoff was more beautiful than I could have expected. “Limping around on those crutches for three weeks was excruciating. That was painful. I went to the gym, I took my daughter to the beach for ice cream, I dropped her off at the preschool, I went for a nice steak dinner with my wife, Bianca Belair, and Montez Ford with the crutches. I did it all on crutches.
“It was excruciating. The crutches alone were painful. I thought I was going to get a shoulder injury, a real one, get surgery and go to Birmingham legit. I was getting irritable, my wife was putting up with me being grumpy. It was a tough one, but we pulled through and did it. For the greater good.” [H/T: Fightful]
