‘I Will Give Him Credit…’ – WWE’s Seth Rollins Addresses Bron Breakker Attacking Him Ahead Of Backlash 2026, Responds To Paul Heyman’s Comments About Upcoming Match

WWE

WWE star Seth Rollins has addressed his upcoming match with Bron Breakker, following recent attacks.

With Breakker returning to cost Seth Rollins his match at WrestleMania 42, the two former Vision teammates will finally face off in singles action at the May 9 Premium Live Event.

Ahead of this weekend’s Backlash event, Breakker attacked Rollins multiple times on the May 4 Raw episode, which Rollins has addressed on the latest edition of ESPN Get Up.

Admitting that he didn’t have a great Monday, but explaining why he still believes he’ll have his arm raised on Saturday, Rollins said:

“Monday was not great, Monday did not go well for me. I was making an entrance, I got blindsided from behind, then I got speared. I tried to come out later, I got speared again. He was on fire. I will give him credit, he came out shooting his shot, he’s trying to get it done. 

“You know what the worst part of (getting speared) is? It’s when you see it coming and you realize there’s just nothing you can do. That is a full-size man coming full speed at you, and you’ve just got to brace and take it. 

“Tomorrow night, I get him in the ring in a match, so he can’t get me from behind. The bell is going to ring and I’ve got five, six, seven, eight, ten times more experience than he does. I think we’ll be alright once the bell rings.”

Seth Rollins was then shown a clip of Paul Heyman from a previous Get Up episode, during which Heyman stated that fans can expect to see the destruction of Rollins and the rise of Breakker to the top of WWE at Backlash.

In response to this, Rollins said:

“Oh Paul, come on now. You’ve told some lies in your life, you don’t really believe half the things that come out of your mouth.

“I know you don’t believe 100% of that I just saw come out of your mouth. The end of Seth Rollins? Sir, I am just getting started.

“I’ve got WrestleMania main events in the future lined up for me. Bron Breakker, he’s going to be your cash cow? Paulie, he ain’t ready, baby.”

The winner of Rollins vs Breakker will likely become one of the next contenders for the World Heavyweight Championship, with both stars hoping to re-enter the title picture.

With Seth Rollins forced to relinquish the title following his injury in October 2025, Rollins stated when recently talking about Roman Reigns’ upcoming championship defense against Jacob Fatu that Reigns is holding onto his title.

Bron Breakker has also stated that he hopes Backlash will mark the end of his story with Rollins, as he looks to also reach the top of the WWE mountain.

While Reigns vs Fatu is the match with the most on the line at Backlash, Rollins vs Breakker will likely reveal what’s next in the World Heavyweight Title picture.
