When asked about his WWE return, Rollins said that he has been waiting for that for seven months, and it was a special moment for him. Coachman asked him about his injury. Rollins explained that he didn’t feel the pain when it happened, so he just pushed through the match and finished it.

When asked about his recovery. Rollins praised his doctor for the surgery and the rehab process. He made it back in six months and not the normal nine to twelve months.
Rollins said that he had to get back inside the ring because he missed it. Rollins explained that it was really hard for him to miss WrestleMania 32 because of the all work he has put in. He said that he is back and is not trying to dwell on it. When asked about being back in the title picture. Rollins explained that there is pressure of being a top guy and that’s where he thrives. He will just be himself and he will be champion again.
When asked about the NXT stars being on the main roster. Rollins thinks having new guys on the roster is great and that it will just make WWE better and hopes more fans will tune into the show. He can’t wait to wrestle some of the new guys. Rollins revealed that he wanted to wrestle Apollo Crews, Sami Zayn, and AJ Styles. Rollins said he wrestled Styles one time, which was ten years ago. Rollins can’t wait to wrestle Styles in a series of matches.
When asked about the status of his knee, Rollins says that his knee is 100% and is he ready to go.
