Seth Rollins makes a bold claim about The Rock.
WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins has made some buzzworthy comments about The Rock since the latter returned to WWE, and he was at it again ahead of WWE Elimination Chamber.
In an interview with Alex McCarthy for Mail Sport, Seth Rollins stated that The Rock could not lace his boots, even at his best.
“He is a specimen, he is a specimen. But he hasn’t had a match in a decade,” Seth Rollins said. “John Cena, two times at WrestleMania. Had a couple of stuff, a tag team match and a couple of appearances here and there.
“I’m on a different level right now. I am in my prime. I am operating at a level so high above any level he’s ever operated at. He couldn’t lace my boots in the best years of his career, let alone now. I’m just saying.”
Seth Rollins On The Rock: Happy To Have Him, Happier To See Him Go
During the interview, Seth Rollins also noted that The Rock was afterthought. as WWE had entered a new era. He stated that he was happy to have The Rock come back, but’d be happier tp see him go.
“Yeah, he’s gonna open his mouth, run his mouth, say the same old crap he’s been saying for the last two decades because he can’t come up with any new material,” he said. “Bottom line is, he is an afterthought. This is our story, our era. We’ve built the last decade of WWE, this Elimination Chamber show, this WrestleMania will be the biggest ever; we built it without him.
“He’s been off doing his own thing and I’m not taking anything away from him; he laid the groundwork for it but we built it, man. We built the wall, we built the roof, we’ve got this sorted. He can come in and have a little tea but we will shoe him on the way out. Happy to have him, happier to see him go.”
WrestleZone will have full coverage of WWE Elimination Chamber as it airs on February 24.
