Seth Rollins On The Rock’s Return: We Love To Have Him, But We Don’t Need Him

Seth Rollins is happy to let The Rock ride his coattails for a bit.

Rollins appeared on NFL Network’s Good Morning Football to promote WrestleMania 40. During the conversation, Rollins commented on The Rock’s return and what it could mean for WrestleMania and moving forward.

“Hey look man, if The Rock wants to jump on the bandwagon, ride my coattails into WrestleMania, that’s totally fine with me, man. That’s fine with me. Look, I get it; WWE is as hot as its ever been. We are selling out arenas, stadiums, any place we go is huge. We just inked two massive deals, SmackDown to USA Network and RAW — my show, which I’ve been anchoring for the last decade — just signed the most lucrative television deal in the history — in the history — of professional wrestling with Netflix, which is going to be a game changer starting next year.

So we are living life right now, we are huge. And for The Rock to want to come on board now, jump on my Wrestlemania, get his toes wet? I get it, I get it. So mad respect to him and everything he’s done outside of here and everything he’s done in our industry. So I’ve got no problem with The Rock jumping on and doing his business for us. We appreciate having him. But like I said, he’s riding my coattails, he just needs to remember that.”

One of the hosts joked that they got a “heel” vibe from Rollins’ comments, but the WWE World Champion said he was just speaking the truth.

“Look it up, there’s data behind that. Look at the numbers. Who has been on Monday Night RAW in the last ten years more than anybody? It’s me, it’s this guy. I get the credit, not him. So he can come in and take what he wants, he can take his little piece and go back to Hollywood and do his thing because we got this thing — we don’t need you. We love to have you, but we don’t need you, big guy.”
