Seth Rollins spoke with MLive.com ahead of last night’s WWE RAW taping in Detroit; you can read a few highlights below:
Rollins comments on making a statement in the Elimination Chamber gauntlet match on RAW:
“It was a long time. You’re out there and try to do your best and make a statement. I think it’s the longest I’ve ever gone in all of my career. I had a Ring Of Honor title match with Austin Aries that went to an hour draw and maybe an overtime. I can’t recall. But that gauntlet match was something. I was happy I got to make a statement and show the wrestling world, hey, don’t forget about me. I’m still elite.”
Rollins comments on Dean Ambrose missing Wrestlemania with a major injury:
“Neither of us, myself and Dean, had ever suffered any major injuries. For me in the months I was recovering, it was a good experience to step back away from being a pro wrestler and be myself and live my life and experience some things I never had the time for. If you’re going to get hurt, the period around Wrestlemania is the worst time. Ambrose is the man. He’ll be back. It’s not about Wrestlemania this year, it’s about Wrestlemania next year and the year after that. It’s about the long term.”
Rollins comments on how he’s become more aware of his own health after being injured:
“I think I’m just more aware of the little things with my body than I was before. I felt so invincible. I took for granted the little nagging injuries and didn’t treat them the way I should have. Not that I could have prevented the major injury. It was a freak accident. It’s not like my body wasn’t prepared. It didn’t just give out on me. I think for me my physical awareness has gotten better and I’m better at keeping up with the little injuries.”
