Seth Rollins made history at WrestleMania a couple of years ago when he cashed in his Money in the Bank briefcase to become WWE Champion. It's widely considered one of the most exciting WrestleMania moments of all-time and has yet to be topped after two underwhelming endings to the Showcase of the Immortals (thanks, Roman Reigns).
Here's what Rollins had to say about the experience of cashing in and whether or not it's a moment he believes he can top somewhere down the line.
"I’m definitely striving to top it. For me to walk out of WrestleMania with the world championship over my head was the childhood dream but at the same time, I also want to be the guy billed in the main event of WrestleMania so that’s a future goal of mine as well. Looking back on it, it’s hard to put into words how it felt, man. It happened so fast, it almost seems like a bit of a dream or fiction. It’s interesting to see it in a highlight reel or video package as you look at it and almost look at it like it’s not you and that it happened to someone else. It was a special moment that I don’t think will be recreated maybe ever. It’s cool that it’s going to go down in history, like you said, as one of the most exciting and greatest WrestleMania moments of all-time."
After missing last year's WrestleMania due to injury, Rollins battled Triple H in Orlando back in April and that's a bit match it could be hard to beat. While Rollins wasn't sure who he'd like to square off with when the show hits New Orleans next year, he made it clear that his main goal is finding his way into the actual main event without having to just cash in.
"Like I said, for me, it’s all about the main event. I want to be the guy on the poster, I want to be the guy who’s going on last at WrestleMania and in the match not just doing the run in or the cash in or what have you. That’s my goal; to be that guy. To be the Hulk Hogan, the John Cena, the Roman Reigns (the guy who’s been in that spot for the past few years now). For me, that’s always the goal, it always has been the goal, and I won’t rest until I get it."
Right now, Rollins looks poised to win the RAW Tag Team Championships with Dean Ambrose at SummerSlam so it's hard to say what could be in store for him come WrestleMania season.
