As I don't watch smackdown if seth moved there then I would probably stop watching altogether so personally I would rather he win the title at WM and go to RAW as champ but unfortunately I don't see him beating Brock as has been said not all three will win.

Also even if he gets drafted to SD there's no guarantee that he'll even be in the main title scene.

Seth Rollins Reveals How He Got “The Stomp” Reinstated
– Seth Rollins spoke to The Wrap this week to promote WrestleMania 35. Below are some highlights:

On Getting The Stomp Reinstated: “It was a conversation that I had to have with [Vince McMahon]. It was something where he had his reasons for why he wanted to get rid of it at the time,” Rollins told TheWrap of the initial ban and its eventual return. “That was a fine and dandy, but I was having trouble getting a finisher that I was happy with and he was happy with. The Pedigree worked for a little bit, and the Ripcord Knee worked OK. But at the end of the day, the Stomp was what I was synonymous with, it’s what I won the title with, it was part of who I was. When it came down to it, I just went and asked him a few years later. I said, ‘Hey look, I want to do this. Give me reasons not to and I will tell you why you’re wrong and hopefully, we can meet in the middle,’” Rollins recalled. “He was on my side, I caught him on a good day. Luckily it’s back and hopefully, it’s not going anywhere.”

On Having To Remove The “Curb” From The Move: “Obviously branding it is part of the deal, right? You don’t want to have any (negative) connotations– it has nothing to do with what people what think it does,” he said. “You want to remove any connotations so you don’t give anybody any reason to say, ‘Well, but.’ It was easy enough to just call it ‘The Stomp,’ just like The Spear or The Stunner, whatever. It works just fine and no one seems to care.”

On The WrestleMania 31 Stomp Into RKO Spot: “It was perfect. I was just so stoked we hit it,” Rollins reminisced with us. “We tried it a couple times– more than a couple times in rehearsal the day before, and I couldn’t really nail it down. It’s kind of complicated, obviously, the timing’s gotta be perfect.”

“Randy’s a guy that says he likes to bat 1.000 — he doesn’t want to take any chances,” he said. “It’s a huge match at WrestleMania — if there’s ever a time to try to bat 1.000. it’s that one. But I coaxed him into taking a risk and it paid off in a huge way because that’s one of those ones you’re never gonna forget. Real pleased with how that one turned out.”

“Once I got launched in the air and got flat I was like ‘Oh, thank God. We got it. Let me just lay here for a little while now,’”

some people really hate for the sake of hating! they bitched about the guy not having any intensity, tonight he comes out and do something totally out of the box for a face, and now he is a geek for doing lowblow? fuckoff these pops deserve lesnar as their chance.
also the "lol Seth is losing" thing is getting annoying, it's ok we got it, he is gonna lose we got it now
but still a partttt of me is still convinced he is somehow gonna pull it, idk...heyman acknowledging the roman thing last year with everyone being convinced gives me a vibe...
and anyone still saying Seth is crap on the mic is actually lying to himself to himself

They've been having Seth say this entire build that he 'has to do what it takes to save the industry' (bring the title back on Raw) and they had him low blow Brock. I wonder if they are going to have him win, if they have him via breaking the rules. The ref could be knocked out, and maybe there's a chair in the ring (that Heyman tried to slip Brock) and Seth uses the chair while the ref is down to get the win (or whatever way they want to have him break the rules, doesn't have to be a chair). They could have him say on Raw that like he said, he was willing to do whatever it took to 'save the industry' and that he meant it. I think it's a possibility if they're going to have him win/if they want to get the title back on TV which they could really use at this point. This show has been garbage on the road to WM, I can't imagine how bad it will be after WM, especially if the Universal Title is still MIA every week.

Every guy who beat brock actually lowblowed him , from Eddie Guerrero to triple h to the undertaker.
I think if they can give us an incredible battle bot a spotfest, a pro wrestling fight like the punk vs brock , I will love it.

According to meltzer Brock was actually supposed to stand strong in the go home show, that's how they had it written in the initial script but Vince told them to change it because since the beginning Rollins never had the upper hand hence not making him having any chance to win believable.
If brock was supposed to stand strong , then maybe that actually means it's because seth is supposed to win
So the reason brock wasnt isn't standing strong isnt because he will win but only because they didn't built the rivalry enough
Another couch of screen on the result of this match

Yep, I heard WOR today, too and he did say that. I think they went the right way considering that was the first time Seth got the upper-hand vs. Brock in this feud. And like you said, if it was originally supposed to go the other way with Brock standing tall last night, then maybe they are planning Seth to win, but just thought that him getting the upper-hand on Brock for the first time on the go-home show to give him momentum was the better idea. Which, I agree, it is the better way to go. I don't think it's written in stone that Brock is going to win like some think. And Meltzer saying what he said on WOR this morning makes me think that even more.

god both Rollins and lesnar are the best fucking seller on the roster, Jesus the way rollins sells that suppler looks absolutely gorgeous, it gives me flashback of Shawn Micheals lol. and brock Is a known goddamn seller when he is actually interested, him selling the lowblow where too great.
this match is going to be a classic, I can literally feel it. also their video already got 1.2+ millions viewers....

Yeah, last night's segment was really good and both guys did a great job in it. Seth cut a good promo and Brock's facial expressions during the promo were great, IMO. Then, Rollins selling of the German Suplex was great; not too much and not too little, just right. Brock's selling of the nut shots, superkick, and curbstomp were all good, too. Crowd was hot for the entire segment from start to finish, too, with the crowd 100% being behind Seth and major heat for Brock; the way it should be. Really well done segment. Nothing against Heyman, but he wasn't even needed last night. Seth and Brock did all of the heavy-lifting last night and killed it.

Just got an email from WWE Network advertising a WWE Network First Look Seth Rollins Wrestlemania interview that will air Sunday night. I wonder if that means anything about the result? :hmm

Here is the email I received with the pic in it about the Rollins WM interview airing this Sunday night:

The timing is very interesting.

Now I want Rollins to win man , idc about it being the worst era , just the pure amount of saltiness and people bitching meaning while he just through the roof would be incredible. He has gotten a lot better on the mic , and if they let him be himself he can be such an awesome character , let the man portray both his goofy and arrogant side and that would be a perfect mix. Also yep the interview seems suspicious, and if he actually wins then damn! Because right now brock is beating him in the odds. Rollins was on top, I am sure it changed due to the raw segment. I would prefer his victory to be something shocking and not just a " we expected it" one , it heavily affected his rumble win.
Let them put on a classic , and knowing both Rollins and Brock I'd they go at it really with their all, then they will fuckimg overshadow the whole wrestlemania. It wouldn't be the first ppv Rollins does that , same for Lesnar. And seeing how Lesnar sells his kick I can definitely tell they have a very very good chemistry. Lesnar actually sells the curb stomp perfectly and Rollins' selling of both the F5 and the suplex is a damn perfect one, like the exact right proportion. I think it's simple a guy like ziggler oversell the whole move , seth does oversell too, but not the whole thing , he heavily exaggerates the projection the move creates , by bouncing but the impact and the shock on the ground is toned down hence giving it a very realistic feeling, perfect.
Everyone been sleeping on this match, thinking that kofi/Bryan or becky/charlotte/Ronda can actually be better , no disrespect to all those performers but a "not lazy fuck" Lesnar going on with a 100% Rollins If they don't do the same old bullshit brock match booking , but actually let them fight, there is nothing on this card that could top it. And I damn hope Vince and all his guys let them go at it.

Hey, I just wanted to say, I hope you guys enjoy WrestleMania Weekend. I'm not going to be around Wrestling Forum much of April, because I really don't enjoy the vibe on this site around this time of year. A lot of complaining and whining, which really genuinely ruins the show for me. I don't expect the entire 7 hours or whatever to be enjoyable, but I really hope the big matches deliver for the most part.

I hope you guys try to enjoy the show, and don't get caught up in the results too much. I know we all want Seth to win, but either way it's great to see him in a big title match at WrestleMania, I'm sure he's amped over it main event or not.

I know @Ambrose Girl ; is attending in-person, right? Really hope you have a blast seeing all the Shield guys. :anna Not sure if anyone else in here is going in-person too, really wish I had the money to do so. This year's card is one I'd absolutely love to see as there is a lot of wrestlers I really appreciate. Seeing Batista, Seth, Becky etc. There's a lot of this show I'm excited about.

Seth is LIVE on WWE's official Youtube page being interviewed about his career and his path to WM right now:



:mark: :mark: :mark:

SETH is gonna be on Jimmy Fallon's show tonight, along with some others from WWE:

So I was able to get a sneak peek at Axxess.

I don't want to spoil the moment for those who start attending today but wow! As it relates to Seth, there's this Wrestlemania strip/walk thing. It showcases all these iconic moments. And boom! There's Rollins, holding up the belt at WM 31. It gave me a bit of chills to see him there, taking his rightful place in what was an iconic and defining moment in his career. I have my doubts if Brock/Rollins will live up to that standard. Outside of the last segment on RAW, this feud has felt very throwaway but it was really cool seeing Rollins singled out that way. I think each Mania was represented by one pic and he was it for 31.

I know somewhat of a hot topic in this thread has been Seth's all-white gear that everyone loves. Here is what he said about it today:



Sucks. But I am looking forward to what he will be wearing this Sunday. No doubt I'm sure it will be awesome like 99% of his gear.

Becky also said Seth should be Champion:



There's been LOTS of praise for Seth from others going into this weekend. I like that.

I met Seth again and it was absolutely amazing!

I have a new favourite meeting! I gave him the NZ beanie I bought for him and Seth seemed genuinely surprised and thankful to get a gift <3 We then chatted a bit about how far I’d come for Mania and he thanked me for coming over for it. We took the photo and Seth thanked me for the beanie and called me sweetheart :) Then I asked for a hug and he gave me one <3

I love him so much, he is so lovely and friendly and seemed extremely happy to be there, despite it being early in the morning. Seth, you’re the man.
 
#952 ·
It’s awesome to see that you met Seth Rollins himself (again)! :mark: :mark:

Besides the fact that he’s probably stoked to see tons of fans who want to see him in person, I really hope that Rollins being extremely happy also means that he knows he’s winning the Universal title tomorrow night :lol
