Seth Rollins was involved in the WrestleMania XL Sunday main event match between Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes. He has finally acknowledged a legendary moment from the bout.
This year's WrestleMania turned out to be one of the most anticipated in history due to the rivalry between The Bloodline and Cody Rhodes & Seth Rollins. On Night Two of The Show of Shows, Rhodes faced off against The Head of the Table in the main event with the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship on the line.
Towards the closing moments of the match, The Shield's music played and The Visionary came down to the ring with a steel chair only to be speared by Reigns. When it looked like The Tribal Chief was in control, he chose to attack Rollins with the chair instead of the American Nightmare. This allowed Cody the time to pick up the coveted win.
Seth Rollins was interviewed by Michael Cole ahead of his title match against Damian Priest at Money in the Bank. During the interview, Rollins reflected back on his moment from the Reigns vs. Rhodes match at WrestleMania. He said that if he got down to the ring, he knew Reigns would make the mistake of focusing on him, allowing Cody to win the match.

"It was a catharsis. I knew that if I could just drag myself to the ring, get the chair in there, Roman would make that mistake, give Cody the opening he needed to win the match. Thankfully, I was right again," said Rollins.
Rollins is set to face Damian Priest in a high-stakes encounter for the World Heavyweight Championship at Money in the Bank PLE tonight. If the champion retains then the challenger cannot get another title shot during the former's reign, while if Priest loses, he has to leave The Judgment Day.
