WWE Star Heaps Praise On ‘Amazing’ Seth Rollins Following Recent Match

WWE Backlash is now officially in the books, with the show in Puerto Rico being considered a major success by both fans and the company.

The show saw several big matches, including the first ever singles clash between Omos and Seth Rollins.

Rollins picked up the win on the night, but those within the company were reportedly impressed by the performance of Omos, believing it to be his best performance in a big singles match.

Speaking about the match to Mike Jones on DC 101, Omos praised Rollins for the match, calling him an ‘amazing performer’.

He said:

“Me and Seth, that was our first time ever being in the ring together. We had never been on any house shows together. That was our first time in the ring and having a match, ever. To go out there and do what we did was amazing.

“I have to give Seth Rollins his props. He’s an amazing performer.”
