Seth Rollins: Logan Paul Gave Me One Of My Favorite WrestleMania Matches I’ve Ever Had

Seth Rollins is grateful for the opportunity he had to step into the ring with Logan Paul at WrestleMania in an attempt to bring two fanbases closer together.

WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth “Freakin” Rollins was a recent guest on Out of Character with Ryan Satin. When asked how he felt when he was told that he’d be working with Logan Paul at WrestleMania, Rollins said while he was disappointed he wasn’t going to get the chance to close the show, he called it one of his favorite WrestleMania matches he’s ever had.

“I’m always disappointed if I feel like my match isn’t going to close the show,” Seth Rollins admitted. “I think anybody in my shoes that’s a normal experience to have. If you’ve been at it for this long, kind of grinding away, you want that spotlight. You want to be the name on the marquee, and you want to close the show.

“But with that said, I knew that wrestling against Logan Paul was going to be huge in its own way because there are so many people that know who Logan Paul is that have no idea what WWE is, and so we’re still in the kind of ongoing stages of melding those two fan bases, and so I knew that it was going to be a great opportunity for me to have a spotlight with a guy who has just a megaphone on him no matter what he does.

“So to be a part of that and to try to really take my act to the next level and to get it in front of people that may have never seen it before, I was really looking forward to that. Obviously, Logan, I didn’t know what to expect entirely. I had not really worked with him at all prior to the Royal Rumble. He’s super athletic. I knew going in we were going to be able to kind of work with that. It turned out to be one of my favorite WrestleMania matches I’ve ever had actually.”

All-Around Win

Satin gave Rollins credit for getting out there in the media during the build to WrestleMania 39 in an attempt to bring Logan Paul’s fanbase to the WWE product for the first time. Rollins said he was proud of the company placing so much trust in him.

“There’s not a lot of people that the company would trust with a situation like that,” Seth Rollins said. “And so to be able to be one of his first matches and on the biggest stage, a singles match. I felt like there was a lot of trust placed in me to be able to handle the situation well and be that ambassador representative for our industry again to people who may not know and maybe their first introduction, we got to involve KSI who again has another fan base that’s totally foreign to what we do so I thought all around win win win everybody came out of it looking better including the industry as a whole.”
