The Architect instead faced Gunther at the Show of Shows in Las Vegas and fell short after an attack from Breakker. Seth Rollins recently sat down for an interview with Michael Cole on WWE’s YouTube channel and addressed how he felt returning from injury after a six-month hiatus.

The former WWE Champion described his recovery from the torn rotator cuff in his left shoulder as the hardest recovery he’s ever had to do.

“I don’t recover like I used to. When I was in my 20s, I felt I could reset every day; it didn’t matter what came before. This recovery from this surgery was the hardest. I think the hardest I’ve had, even with the full knee that I did in 2015. This was hard. It was painful, it was slow,” he said.

Rollins said heading into the match against Gunther in Las Vegas, he was concerned about re-injuring himself, given how physical the match against the Ring General could be.

“I was really happy to get through WrestleMania and not have what I felt was regression. I was concerned that just the physicality of the match would acause some sort of regression or a re-injury. It’s so hard,” he added.

Bron Breakker reveals why he betrayed Seth Rollins

The rivalry between Bron Breakker and Seth Rollins began after the former NXT champion turned on his former mentor on RAW in October.

Breakker speared Rollins out of nowhere, and Bronson Reed joined in and attacked him further, putting him on the shelf in the storyline. Recently, speaking on SportsCenter on ESPN, Breakker addressed why he betrayed Rollins.

He said he felt that the former SHIELD member was going to turn his back on him and pull the rug on him soon if he felt things weren’t going his way. Hence, Breakker decided to beat him to it.
