Seth Rollins, currently holding the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, recently expressed his belief that he will secure a place on pro wrestling’s Mount Rushmore by the end of his career. Speaking on ESPN First Take ahead of WrestlePalooza, Rollins conveyed a strong sense of certainty about his lasting legacy in the industry.
Rollins Predicts Legendary Status in Wrestling
During the interview, Rollins stated,
“When I put the robe on the shelf for the very last time, I will be on the Mount Rushmore of this industry, no question about it.”
His confidence reflects the ambition he carries as one of wrestling’s leading figures today.
Anticipation Builds Around WrestlePalooza Tag Match
Rollins also turned the spotlight to his upcoming mixed tag team match at WrestlePalooza, where he teams with his wife, Becky Lynch, to face CM Punk and AJ Lee. He described Lee as a significant unknown due to her long absence from wrestling competition, calling her “the biggest wildcard” for the bout.
He elaborated,
“The biggest wildcard in all this is AJ Lee. She hasn’t been in the ring in 10 years — we don’t know what she brings to the table. We are in the prime of our careers. There is no way we lose this match.”
WrestlePalooza Match Card Overview
The updated WrestlePalooza card includes several high-profile matches: John Cena faces Brock Lesnar, the undisputed WWE Championship will be contested between Cody Rhodes and Drew McIntyre, and the Women’s World Championship will pit IYO SKY against Stephanie Vaquer.
