Seth Rollins already knows who he wants to face at WWE WrestleMania 41, and if he had his way, he’d be going after the biggest prize in WWE.
Speaking during an appearance on The Rich Eisen Show, Rollins said that, in an ideal world, he’d be going after one of the world titles at WWE WrestleMania 41. He then said that his dream match would be to face Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes.
“In a perfect world, I’m challenging for one of the world championships,” said Rollins. “Whether that’s Gunther or Cody Rhodes…Jey Uso won the Royal Rumble. When you win the Royal Rumble in our world, you get the opportunity to challenge a champion at WrestleMania. Whether that’s Cody Rhodes or Gunther, who’s our champion on Monday Night Raw, Cody is the champion on SmackDown, the winner of the Elimination Chamber generally gets the opportunity to challenge the leftover champion, whoever hasn’t been selected.
“I don’t know which Jey’s gonna swing. It could be Gunther, could be Cody. I personally would love to get into the Elimination Chamber. I got a qualifying match coming up here in a couple weeks on Monday Night Raw on Netflix. Get into the Chamber, stomp CM Punk’s head into the mat, eliminate everybody in that chamber, John Cena included, go to WrestleMania, and my dream opponent is Cody Rhodes for that title.”
Although Rollins sounded open to any match, he did clarify that he believes it would be “very poetic” if he and Rhodes were to get back into the ring, especially after their feud when Rhodes came back turned into Rollins helping Rhodes win the Undisputed WWE Championship at last year’s WrestleMania 40.
“Cody is a guy that, when he came back to WWE, we had a series of matches,” Rollins said. “He won all of them, three in a row. I lost all of them to Cody Rhodes. I helped Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania last year win the WWE Championship, [and] I think it would be very poetic if I was able to take the WWE Championship from Cody Rhodes this year at WrestleMania. So that’s my perfect plan. That’s what I’d love to see happen. Lots of variables at play, so we’ll see how it goes.”
