Seth Rollins is a top-tier talent who will always be in contention to compete on the biggest of cards.

During a recent interview with Claibs Online, the multi-time world champion revealed that he could eventually force his way into Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar's WrestleMania 38 match.

Seth Rollins is no stranger to raining on the parades of both Reigns and Lesnar. The Visionary famously crashed their match at WrestleMania 31, cashing in his Money in the Bank contract to win the WWE Championship.

There's still a long way to go until WrestleMania, and Rollins isn't ruling out any possibility, as he mentioned below:

"I made my presence known in a Brock-Roman match once before at WrestleMania, so who's to say I couldn't do it again? Who knows. We are roughly seven, eight weeks out from WrestleMania at this point now, so anything can happen between now and then." (07:35) H/T Danny Hart of Sportskeeda Wrestling

Seth "Freaking" Rollins will be in the Elimination Chamber match for the WWE Championship later this month, and it would be interesting to see what the creative team has in store for the RAW superstar heading into 'Mania.

Here's what Samu had to say about signing a 'WWE Nostalgia contract':

"I am truly honored to return to the company in which has been my family since I was born," Samu said. "I am also happy for the wrestling fans of Sunbury and surrounding areas who have always welcomed me, my family, my brother Afa and son Lance with open arms. I have made several friends who are now family to me, and that is priceless. I want to thank Mr. McMahon, the rest of the McMahon family, and all of the WWE officials for all they have done for me and my family."

Samu won the Tag Team Championship on one occasion with his cousin Rikishi (Fatu) during his second run with the company. The duo were collectively known as The Headshrinkers during their time in the promotion.

As part of his new deal, WWE can use his likeness and get him onboard for special appearances.
