“I Had To Ask Myself Why I Picked You Over Roman Reigns”, Paul Heyman Warns Seth Rollins, Seth Rollins’ Position in Locker Room at Stake

Paul Heyman had some harsh words for Seth Rollins tonight when the latter asked him what if he loses to Cody Rhodes at Crown Jewel. Seth Rollins has been in the ring with Cody Rhodes three times in his career and has never won. It’s legitimate that he has doubts, and to know what’s at stake if he loses, and that is what Seth Rollins wanted to know.

Paul Heyman initially told him that he won’t lose to Cody Rhodes at Crown Jewel, but Seth Rollins wanted to know the repercussions of losing. Paul Heyman told him that he would lose his position in the locker room and also the trust of Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed. He told Seth Rollins that his vision for the future of WWE depends on his win, and it will end if Cody Rhodes wins.

Paul Heyman Questions His WrestleMania 41 Judgment

Paul Heyman betraying Roman Reigns and choosing Seth Rollins over him was one of the most shocking moments at Wrestlemania 41, but it seems Paul Heyman questions his judgment now. Seth Rollins pushed Paul Heyman into telling him what it would mean to him if he loses at Crown Jewel.

Paul Heyman didn’t pull his punches this time. He told Seth Rollins that he would question his Judgment of picking him over Roman Reigns at WrestleMania if Seth Rollins loses to Cody Rhodes at Crown Jewel. Everything Seth Rollins has earned from Wrestlemania will be at stake at Crown Jewel. The 3-0 streak against Cody Rhodes is also not in his favor, but Seth Rollins always has a plan for any situation.

We have seen it many a time since Wrestlemania. Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch might have lost the match against CM Punk and AJ Lee, but with everything on the line, it seems unlikely for Seth Rollins to lose this time.
