At Summerslam, Seth Rollins is set to take on Dolph Ziggler for the Intercontinental title once again in a sure-fire great match. “The Kingslayer” has been on a role since that Gauntlet match back in February and that opportunity probably wouldn’t have been possible if Dean Ambrose wasn’t injured.
Rollins spoke with South China Morning Post and talked about how Ambrose’s injury helped him:
“Being part of the Shield is a special thing. Any time the three of us are healthy and in the same place we can get into some trouble. Not that I would wish injury on Ambrose at all, but that was something that lit a fire underneath me. It’s definitely been a blessing in disguise for my singles career. It was like OK, I’ve got to kind of refocus, reset my priorities and move forward. I was presented with some cool opportunities early in the year.”
Along with winning the IC title back at Summerslam, his other goals in the future:
“Right now my focus is Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre, but I’d be lying if I didn’t say I want all the gold because I do. I’m definitely focused on winning back the Intercontinental championship, but the Universal championship is in my sight some point in the future. I would love to ride that wave to maybe a champ versus champ match depending on who comes out on top between Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns at SummerSlam. We’ll see. At the end of day it’s all about wining and building a legacy, and I’ve been a dual champion before.”
