But he lost this match as well. Next night challenged AJ Styles with the hope of facing Edge at WrestleMania 38. And he lost again.
On the go home show of Monday night RAW before WrestleMania 38, Vince McMahon and told him that he would be on WrestleMania 38 and he would get an opponent of McMahon’s choosing. The opponent turned out to be the returning star Cody Rhodes. This was all of the storyline and was quite cool.
Seth Rollins who is also a former two times WWE Intercontinental Champion and a former WWE United States champion recently spoke to Sports Illustrated Media podcast where he talked about his storyline for WrestleMania 38 in which the returning star Cody Rhodes was also involved. He said;
“You do what I’ve been doing and you try to make it work. That’s what I’ve done the last few weeks, try to work my way into WrestleMania,” Rollins said. “People say, ‘this is ridiculous, this is preposterous, you’re Seth Freakin Rollins, how can you miss WrestleMania?’
“If you only knew how close to the truth this storyline was, your mind would be blown. This is a very legitimate situation for me. The pieces went haywire at Day 1 in Atlanta. COVID blew the whole thing up, you see Brock Lesnar walk out with the WWE Championship, all hell broke loose, and its dominoes. Everything has to fall. Bobby Lashley gets hurt. Everything is chaos after that.
“This is a very legitimate situation that has translated to screen time every Monday and it’s been a fun story because it’s the only match that is up in the air. It’s the only thing you can follow every week and go, ‘what’s going to happen next? What are these weird crossroads we’re going to get into to get into the finish line?’
“It’s been fun. Not my ideal way to go into WrestleMania, it’s a lot of extra stress, but it’s been a party and we’re going to get there one way or another. I’m very excited to get to Dallas and I’m going to have my WrestleMania moment one way or the other.”
