When Seth Rollins Found Out About WWE Return Plans Revealed

WWE

Ahead of Money In The Bank, former World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins has revealed when he found out about WWE return.

On the June 17 edition of Monday Night Raw, Seth Rollins made his surprise return to the company for the first time since WWE WrestleMania 40.

Coming off the heels of knee surgery, Rollins was confronted by World Heavyweight Champion Damian Priest who eventually challenged him for a title match on Sunday, July 6 at Money In The Bank.

Speaking with Matt Aguilar of ComicBook Nation, Seth Rollins revealed that he was given a few weeks’ notice about his WWE return. He said:

“A little fluctuation. I had a few weeks’ notice (that I’d be coming back to TV).

“We kind of looked at the timeline of the injury and looked at the stories and where I fell back into place. You never really know, you never know how things are gonna go.

“But, the top of the card here on Raw is pretty stacked. You got guys like Damian Priest, you got Drew McIntyre, CM Punk whenever he’s around and able.

“You’ve got GUNTHER kind of waiting in the wings as well. You have Rey Mysterio, you got the whole Judgment Day so it’s stacked so, it was very interesting to see where I could slide in, but yeah man, the time felt right and coming off a huge event overseas, Clash at the Castle in Scotland, it was ripe for the picking. Damian Priest needed a challenger so I hopped right in.”

Seth Rollins is scheduled to challenge Damian Priest for the World Heavyweight Championship at WWE Money In The Bank.

If Priest wins, Rollins will not get another shot at the title while Priest is champion, while if Seth wins, Priest must leave The Judgment Day. For the full lineup for Money In The Bank, click here.
