Seth Rollins is comfortable playing a heel on WWE television.
Speaking with ESPN’s Omar Raja, the former World Heavyweight Champion was asked whether he prefers being a babyface or a heel.
Rollins admitted that he is not very good at playing the hero and can only portray the character for short periods.
“You know, the truth is I’m not very good at being the hero. I can do it in short spurts, but I’m not like Cena. I’m not like Rey Mysterio. I get bored of myself, and I think people get bored of me. I much prefer being a bad guy. I think it suits me better. Most of my favorite moments are being a piece of trash.”
Elsewhere in the same interview, Rollins revealed he didn’t rehearse his Money in the Bank cash-in on CM Punk at WWE SummerSlam 2025 to maximize the shock value.
“I didn’t practice the crutches at all because we didn’t rehearse this because we didn’t want anybody to know what was happening,” Seth Rollins said.
“None of this was rehearsed. Talked about it briefly. I can’t take all the credit for the crutch tossing. I’ll take all the credit when it’s my idea. The idea for the crutch drop was actually a Bobby Roode idea, who’s one of the incredible performers in our industry and now is a great producer backstage.”
