Former four times WWE World Champion Seth Rollins who is currently involved in a feud with the former eleven times WWE World Champion The Rated R Superstar Edge recently talked about his infamous WWE Universal Championship match the Fiend Bray Wyatt.
Seth Rollins vs. The Fiend Bray Wyatt was scheduled for the WWE Universal Championship inside Hell in a Cell in the Hell in a Cell pay per view event of 2019. The character of the Fiend was a newly invented back then and it was one of the most famous characters among the fans back in the time. Everyone was waiting for The Fiend challenge for the World Championship.
Seth Rollins Speaks On His Match Against Fiend From Hell In A Cell 2019
The time finally arrived at Hell in a Cell pay per view event of 2019 where the Fiend challenged Seth for the WWE Universal Championship. And the match was booked inside Hell in a Cell. What else could you want more? It was a dream match and it had to be one of the best matches of the year, right?
This match turned out to be the worst worked match of the year. It was a Hell in a Cell match which went to no contest. It was like a Last Man Standing match ending in a submission victory.
The match was even considered worse than the botch filled Goldberg vs. Undertaker match. And it was all because of the The Hell in a Cell which was not needed at all. This is one of the biggest reasons why WWE needs to stop these gimmick pay per views. These gimmick pay per views are getting totally obsolete.
Seth Rollins who is a former four times WWE World Champion recently spoke to Stone Cold Steve Austin’s Broken Skull Sessions where he talked about his infamous WWE Universal Championship match the Fiend Bray Wyatt. He said;
“My vision for what that was going to be was a lot different than what we had to go out there and do. We went out there, and did what we were told to do, to the best of our ability.”
“I put a positive spin on it now that I can look back at it a year and a half later, but at the time — I came through that curtain and I was ready to strangle Vince McMahon. I’m not kidding you. I’m not kidding you, TJ Willson was there to hold me back. I stared right into Vince’s eyes — you know where he sits in that chair over there [in Gorilla] — I look at him, he looked at me, we didn’t say a single word to each other and he walked out.
“I sat there with Paul Heyman — and also, he was Creative Director at the time of RAW — so I sat down there with him and we had a conversation. He was ‘Paul Heyman’ing’ me, if you will. Then, the next day I went into Vince’s office — much calmer — and I said, ‘Let’s talk about this.
“We need to figure out what we’re doing here, because that can’t happen again.’ It was civil, but it took me a night [to calm down], but I was ready to go. Man, if somebody wasn’t there making sure I was okay — my temper, I mean, the adrenaline. In my head, if you go back to that match, I’m convinced if it would have went our way, this wouldn’t be on that [worst matches] list.”
