WWE Universal Champion Seth Rollins was recently interviewed by the folks from The Quad-City Times on a number of topics. During the interview, Rollins promoted this coming Sunday’s WWE Live Event which is being dubbed as “The Shield’s Last Chapter.” This event will also be a WWE Network Special that will feature The Shield (WWE Universal Champion Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns & Dean Ambrose) taking on Bobby Lashley, Drew McIntyre & Baron Corbin in the main event. Other matches are also being advertised for this event.
Rollins first said that he thought The Shield would live forever, but he is looking forward to going out together in front of friends and family in Moline, which is near his hometown.
Rollins said, “It just kind of just worked out, in an unfortunate way, obviously not something we ever wanted to say the final chapter.” “I always believed The Shield would live forever. Now we have this last weekend and it just happens to end up in Moline. It’s very poetic. It will be a cool experience to do in front of friends and family.”
Regarding his WrestleMania 35 Universal Title Matchup against Brock Lesnar, Rollins said that it “almost happened so fast.” He also said that facing Brock Lesnar never came into his realm of possibility and his WWE run has been surreal.
Rollins said, “Facing Brock Lesnar never came into my realm of possibility.” “I dreamed a lot of big dreams as a kid. But there are things that have happened I never would have even thought were possible — like being on the cover of a video game, being an action figure. It’s been pretty surreal.”
He continued with, “I try to take everything in as it comes. It’s not very often you get 80,000 people on your side, facing one of the most decorated combat sports athletes, and having my friends and family there. It will definitely go down in history for me, as my legacy.”
