Seth Rollins recently appeared on TalkSport’s Gorilla Position podcast and commented on speculation of Shawn Michaels getting back in the ring. It’s important to clarify there are no credible reports that Michaels plans to ever wrestle again, but some fans are fantasy booking Michaels as the ideal opponent for AJ Styles for January’s Royal Rumble PPV at the Alamo Dome.
In response to this hypothetical match up, Seth Rollins says if Michaels does wrestle again, it should be at WrestleMania – against him. Since AJ Styles’ name has been thrown around as a potential opponent for Michaels, Rollins is more than happy to fight Styles for the honor.
“If he’s ever coming out of retirement it better be at WrestleMania. Kudos to AJ for giving it a shot but he can take a backseat. I would like that match before he gets his hands on Shawn. A lot of people would pay good money to see Shawn and AJ. Me and AJ might have to fight it out. Winner gets Shawn.”
As one of the top workers in the business today, Rollins says he’s modeled himself after the Hearbreak Kid as a performer who can work wrestle any style.
“I’ve always fancied myself as the guy who can do it all pretty well. I don’t see myself in the ring as a high flyer or brawler or technical guy, but I feel I can do everything, work with everybody, and bring out the best in different people.
I would never compare myself to him, but like a Shawn Michaels, a guy who can do everything. I’ve always prided myself on doing different types of matches with different opponents.”
