WWE Intercontinental Champion Seth Rollins spoke on the Greg Atoms Show on 1130-KWKH after Survivor Series. Among other things, he talked about his respect for Shinsuke Nakamura, what he’ll do after retirement from wrestling.
On him wrestling Nakamura and respect for him:
“Yes, we had mingled a little bit in the Royal Rumble last year, but first time in a single match for sure. For me, you know I can’t speak for him, but for me a lot of respect, he’s someone who I’ve admired from afar.
To be able to get into the ring with him, test myself against him, really get to find out how good I am. It’s a treat, he was an excellent opponent and I was glad that we got that first out of the way successfully.”
Plans after retirement from wrestling:
“I’ve already kind of got something going with my wrestling school back home in Iowa. I think once I get off the road and my in-ring career is done take probably at least take a few years off and relax a little bit. You know, but who knows I always like giving back to the business.
It’s been my passion, like you said, my entire life. So it’s certainly something I feel like I’ll be involved in one way or another for as long as I can as long as I’m giving something and you know making progress, not just kind of stagnating.”
Rollins’ initial reaction to the following WWE superstars:
* Braun Strowman – “Monster.”
* WWE Raw Women’s Champion Ronda Rousey – “She’s an aberration.”
* Drew McIntyre – “Freak, and I applaud his work ethic.”
* Alexa Bliss – “Sour Patch Kid. She’s sweet and sour.”
He would also talk about action figures, video games, and travelling with WWE. You can check out the entire interview in the video below.
