Seth Rollins recently sat down with the PodNasty Wrestling Podcast for a very quotable interview as he talked about the pressures of being WWE World Heavyweight Championship, going it alone against Brock Lesnar, his recent visit to the barracks on Tough Enough and more! Please find the link below:

United States Championship vs. WWE World Heavyweight Championship and Competing with John Cena

"(The WWE World Heavyweight Championship) is (the most dominant title in the company) no matter what, no matter who is wearing what other title, this is the big boy, this is the one that everybody wants and if John (Cena) tells you any different he's a liar," said Rollins. 

"But the bottom line, though, is that I'm always competing with John Cena, John's a guy who has set the bar extremely high for the past 10, 12-15 years, he's a guy who—not only in the ring, but outside the ring—is an example of what a WWE Superstar should be and he has put in the work over that period of time to prove that and that's definitely something I strive to be as well. I strive to have that work ethic and instill that in people around me the way John has over the past decade and a half so I'm always competing with John Cena in my mind, but my title is the title and there's definitely no doubt about that."

On Tough Enough Contestants not Standing Out

"Not one person stood out to me (on Tough Enough)," said Rollins.

"Not a single one, nope, not one. I went down there and I tried to help them out, give them a few pointers here and there, let them know what it takes to be a star but, let me tell you, those kids got it easy.

"They don't know anything about anything when it comes to putting in the time, they think they're going to get through this little three-month course and they're going to be WWE Superstars and they're going to be famous, and rich and travel the world. That's not how it works, it's a whole lot of hard work and I think they're going to figure that out along the way, or they're going to fall by the wayside. For me, I didn't see a whole lot, maybe as they move along in the process they'll show more personality and a little more guts, but for now I'm not holding my breath."

If there will be backstage tension between Tough Enough Winners and WWE/NXT Talent:  

"Absolutely, that's what I'm talking about. Tough Enough is phenomenal, it's great, don't get me wrong. It pushes WWE out into the masses and everyone can see it's physical and they get an inside look at kind of what it's like to be a WWE Superstar," said Rollins.

"But at the same time you've got to understand that's not all that it takes, you don't just get to be on a reality gameshow and all of a sudden you're just a top star in 12 weeks. They're going to have to put in a lot of time, and a lot of hard work, and they're going to have to sacrifice a lot of relationships, they're going to be injured often, it's going to take a toll on them physically and emotionally that they're not prepared for and I think it will be very interesting to see who comes out of Tough Enough, who really is Tough Enough I guess when you look at it. Who's going to come out of it alive and who's going to make a success out of themselves?" 

On John Morrison recently stating he would "destroy Seth Rollins in everything."

"If I'm not mistaken, I believe John Morrison is a zero-time WWE World Heavyweight champion. Mind you, zero. As in never once did he win the big one. And I'm, what, not even three years into my WWE career and I've already won Money in the Bank, won the WWE title at WrestleMania, first-ever NXT champion so there's a lot of things that I've already destroyed John Morrison at and if John Morrison thinks he can take me in any of those endeavors, I would love for John Morrison to step up and say something like that to my face."

Rollins also talked about whether he will have additional reinforcements, if he's tired of always hearing about his ties to the Shield and much more.
