Seth Rollins was recently a guest on the WWE After The Bell podcast. The two-time Grand Slam Champion touched on a variety of topics, including how fatherhood has resulted in him growing and maturing as a person. He said,
“I mean, being a human responsible for another human makes you grow up in a way that you never really — you guys know, you’re both dads (Kevin Patrick & Corey Graves), you get it. Soon as you get that kid, everything changes for you, priorities shift but yeah, just maturing as a performer, as a human.”
Rollins also discussed how his maturity translates into being a locker room leader in WWE. He added,
“It’s very much a perfect storm of events and so I’ve felt more comfortable in my leadership role backstage than I ever have. I think that translates as well to being able to — you have to lead by example, right? So, you can’t be giving people advice and then not taking your own advice and so, being able to have that mental capacity to understand what I need to do to be a better leader for the locker room and for everybody else who might want the position I find myself in right now allows me to kind of take the blinders off a little bit.”
Furthermore, Rollins also revealed how he has been able to delve into deeper and more meaningful layers of storytelling over the past year-and-a-half.
“That’s allowed a lot of these stories with (Matt) Riddle, with Cody (Rhodes), with Edge to grow and that’s allowed, I think, people to just attach themselves to me audience-wise in a way they never have really had the opportunity to.”
Seth Rollins is set to confront internet megastar Logan Paul on RAW tomorrow night. It is expected that a WrestleMania 39 match between the two will be announced soon.
