Seth Rollins recently called Cody Rhodes a selfish S.O.B

Before the American Nightmare won the Royal Rumble match, he had a major feud on WWE RAW with The Visionary. Last year, Cody returned to WrestleMania 38 and defeated Seth 'Freakin' Rollins.

The two had a trilogy of matches after Rhodes' return to the company where the American Nightmare prevailed. However, Cody suffered a serious injury which led to him missing most of 2022.

Recently, WWE Superstars were promoting the Royal Rumble premium live event during which Seth Rollins called Rhodes a selfish S.O.B. who stole his spotlight ahead of WrestleMania 39. Check it out:

"Look, I never had any disrespect towards Cody Rhodes. The only disrespect I had for Cody Rhodes was that he tried to come in and steal my spotlight. I shouldn't say 'tried to steal it.' He tried to use my spotlight to catapult himself to where he wants to go. So there's nothing more selfish in the world. Don't let anything fool you. Cody Rhodes is a selfish S.O.B. He's not coming back for anything but himself." [H/T Wrestling Inc]

It will be interesting to see if the two superstars will meet each other once again after WrestleMania 39 for a fourth match.
