Seth Rollins doesn’t think he’s done with Cody Rhodes yet.
Rhodes returned to WWE at WrestleMania 38, where he was revealed as Rollins’ mystery opponent. “The American Nightmare” then defeated Rollins at both WrestleMania Backlash and at Hell in a Cell. Before their third match, Rhodes tore his pectoral tendon, but he worked through the injury. He then had surgery the following week, and he is expected to miss the next several months.
Speaking with Alistair McGeorge of Metro, Rollins noted that there’s “unfinished business” between the two, and he predicted that Rhodes will seek revenge when he comes back.
“I mean, I’d like to get a win over him, so yes, I think there’s definitely more there. I would imagine if he comes back he’s probably gonna be gunning for me. I mean, I did put a sledgehammer in the back of his head, injure him a little more. I imagine there’s unfinished business for him as well. So, whenever he does return, I would assume I will have a target on my back,” he said.
Rollins went on to describe how Rhodes’ injury created a “special circumstance”, but during a match, the goal is always to protect your opponent.
“I mean, that’s what we do every time. That just had a special circumstance. That’s what our job is, and if you see something that looks physical, hopefully it doesn’t feel that way for somebody in the ring,’ he admitted. We’re not out there to hurt each other – they say it’s not ballet, which is accurate, but you’re not out there to hurt somebody in that way. It was business as usual in that sense, just had to take one little extra precaution. That was what we did, and it turned out to work OK for us,” Rollins said.
While Rhodes is currently sidelined, Rollins has been feuding with Riddle. They were supposed to face off at WWE SummerSlam, but the match got postponed. More information is available here.
