Seth Rollins, GUNTHER, Logan Paul Segment
Seth Rollins: Atlanta, Georgia. Welcome to Monday Night Rollins. I am your host for this evening. I am a visionary. I am a revolutionary. I am Seth Freakin’ Rollins. Woah, they call it Hot-Lanta for a reason. It’s cooking in here, tonight. This is my favorite time of the year, because it’s almost WrestleMania season. That kicks off, this Saturday, when I win the Royal Rumble. I got to be honest with you, though, Atlanta. 2025, got off to a real bad start for me. Let me take you back to the debut, Raw on Netflix, I’m laying right here in this ring, against these ropes, suffering the most embarrassing lost of my career. I got a black eye the size of Georgia. I got blood coming out of my head. And in that moment, I thought to myself, who are you? Yeah, he was sitting right over there. He didn’t look that much better than I did. And I thought to myself, who am I? Who do I want to be? I’ll tell you who I am. I’m Seth Freakin’ Rollins. I don’t stay down for nothing. I stand up, and when I know who I am, when I’m the most focused version of myself, there is nobody on this planet better than me. And I decided to start my path to redemption. It started, last week when I beat Drew McIntyre, it continues this Saturday at the Rumble, when I toss everybody else out.
The most star-studded Rumble of all-time, and I don’t give a damn, I’m tossing them all out. John Cena, tossing him out. Jey Uso, tossing him out. Drew McIntyre, tossing him out. Sami Zayn, tossing him out. Roman Reigns, I’m especially tossing Roman Reigns out. And in my hopes, my dreams, the way I see it, CM Punk is the last dude in this ring with me, so I could toss him out, over the top rope, and crush his main event WrestleMania dreams to dust. I’m a man on a mission. The real question is, after I win the Rumble, which championship am I going after? I’ll tell you, The Ring General GUNTHER, the World Heavyweight Championship, that sounds good. GUNTHER, one of the best to do it in the ring, but you know, we all know, he’s just holding it until I decided to go after it, again. And that’s the obvious one. But then there’s the WWE Championship. There’s “The American Nightmare” Cody Rhodes. I’ve been thinking, and I’ve been wondering, wouldn’t it be poetic if I took the same title off of Cody at WrestleMania this year, that I helped him win last year. Decisions, decisions. Atlanta, it’s tough. I say, let’s put it to you, alright? When I win the Royal Rumble, should I pick The American Nightmare Cody Rhodes or should I face GUNTHER? How’s she doing? Are you keeping her warm for me?
GUNTHER: Seth, if you really think that I’m just keeping this warm for you, then I have a question for you. Where have you been the last couple of months? Well, I know where I’ve been. Last Saturday, I was in San Antonio, Texas, defending the World Heavyweight Championship against the clown, Jey Uso. Don’t get too excited, because I beat his ass. But, Seth, I know exactly where you’ve been. Whining, crying, complaining about the soap opera drama that you’ve been involved in. You have forgotten what really matters in this company. So, if I were you, I would cancel out all of that noise, and focus on winning the Royal Rumble, even though I’m unsure if you still got it in you.
Seth Rollins: Oh, Gunther, Gunther, Gunther. You see this title, right here, that title that you’re wearing around your waist, that World Heavyweight Championship, that wouldn’t exist without me. And that title, that’s not synonymous with The Ring General, Gunther, no, the World Heavyweight Championship is the title that I made, it’s synonymous with Seth Freakin’ Rollins. And all due respect to the people that you’ve beat, I’m not Jey Uso, I’m not Damian Priest, I’m not Finn Balor.
GUNTHER: I agree. Seth, I know who you are. You’re Seth Freakin’ Rollins. You are one of the best wrestlers that ever step foot into this company. You’ve achieved all the accolades. You created so many memorable moments for those fans. But let me tell you this, it’s 2025, and you’re not the best wrestler in this company anymore. I am, and this around my waist proves it. You know what, Seth? Please, go and win the Royal Rumble, and please challenge me, and please square off me at WrestleMania, and I’m going to make you feel just how everybody else feels when they’ve been in the ring with me. You will be lying on your back, looking up at the lights, and you’re going to realize, the only name synonymous with the World Heavyweight Championship is mine, The Ring General, Gunther.
Logan Paul: Well, well, well. Look what we got here. You two, you think you’re special. You guys think they’re unique. Yes, both of you command attention like this, because you’re great at wrestling. Sick, I command attention because I’m great at everything. Ladies and gentlemen, this is the Netflix Era, and this company needs a new face. A face oozing with charisma, a face oozing with confidence. These two nimrods don’t got it. Hey, let’s be honest, you’re both great at wrestling, we all know it, but both of you have hit your ceiling. Meanwhile, I’m on the first floor, and I’m still climbing the stairs. Atlanta, I can’t hear you, what was that? Take notes, boys, that’s attention. So, if there’s anything that you two need to be worried about, it’s the guy who created a WWE career faster than you both. This Saturday, your boy is entering the Royal Rumble. And I don’t have to worry about throwing 29 other guys over the top rope, that’s grunt work, that’s for twiddle dee and twiddle dumb, over there. I got to work smarter not harder, as I always do. Hey, Atlanta, if you’re capable of doing math, that just means I got to be the last one in there. And when I am, and when I win the Royal Rumble, I’m going to main event WrestleMania, and that means I can choose anyone. I can choose Cody Rhodes. Or I can choose you, Gunther.
GUNTHER: You know what, Seth? I change my mind. I want you to win the Royal Rumble, so I can go to WrestleMania, and embarrass you, when I slap that stupid smirk out of your face.
Seth Rollins: Gunther, I’m with you on that one, except there’s only one problem. The only person that’s going to be embarrassed is you, if I decide to take back my title.
