In-Ring Segment: Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins
Reigns tells the crowd to acknowledge him. Rollins laughs about the look on Reigns’ face when he showed up last on SmackDown. Rollins says he knows Reigns didn’t want to see him because Reigns has never beaten him in a title match. Reigns laughs because Rollins is talking about the past. Reigns says he’s in God Mode now. Rollins says he is here to acknowledge him but with that said, Reigns didn’t do this on his own. Rollins held Reigns’ hand to get him to the level he’s at now.
Reigns stares a hole through Rollins. Rollins exclaims he created Reigns and he can destroy him. Reigns says Rollins isn’t on his level. Reigns wouldn’t have picked Rollins from RAW because he isn’t the biggest star. Hell, Rollins isn’t even the biggest star in his household. If Reigns wanted to main event the Royal Rumble, he would have picked Rollins wife (Becky Lynch). The Usos try to attack Rollins from behind but he evades them.
