WWE has decided to celebrate the man’s birthday by releasing a gallery of “Rollins like you have never seen him before”, a collection of rare photos. While some of these have been seen before, this is an incredible collection of photos spanning Seth’s entire career! From his time on the indie scene, to NXT, The Shield, MITB & his title run, it’s all here!

Shortly after Raw this week it was announced by WWE that their would be a WWE 24 Special on Seth, following him from his injury to his epic in ring return! They have now posted a couple preview videos, one of which is sort of a teaser trailer for the special on YouTube and social media! We also did some screen captures! Links all below for those who want to watch or check out the pictures!

SmackDown – May 26th (In Ring Segment)
Well, Seth made a very short and not so sweet return to SmackDown where he simply decided to ask the crowd if they missed him. A predictable array of cheers came from part of the crowd as he then said, “Well I didn’t miss you” and waltzed out of the ring contently. The announcers on commentary say “that’s it?!” And Seth laughs to himself all the way to the back concluding perhaps his shortest TV appearance in some time.

It was announced earlier today that Seth would be doing a Q and A on the Black and Brave Wrestling Academy Twitter account. Seth answered a few questions on the account, and here is the full recap! There was tons of questions sent in so he definitely had so many to try and choose from! If you haven’t already make sure you follow the wrestling school @BlackandBrave for updates on their classes, photos and more!

Q: Do you think you are able to provide a wholly unique experience for your students by being on the main roster?

Seth’s Return Speech
Seth’s Backstage Interview

Raw – May 23rd (Opening Segment)
Seth enters the ring to a huge roar of applause as predicted and he stands in the ring soaking in the chants of “Welcome Back!” He asks the crowd if they missed him (we all know the answer to that) and they roar loudly again. He tells the crowd that after 7 long months they have to let him talk because he has been waiting for this moment as well. After the video package plays of Rollins’s surprise attack on Roman Reigns, the crowd erupts into another chant, this time “thank you Rollins”. Seth comments that it is very strange for the crowd to be cheering for him because they weren’t when he attacked Roman Reigns with a steel chair (effectively ending the Shield), when he won the belt they were calling him the weakest champion and for months people begged for people to beat him (even though no one ever could).

Seth recalls how sadly his knee gave out months ago and makes one of the most honest quotes in recent Raw history saying, “My knee buckled under the weight of carrying this company for SO FREAKING LONG!” Continuing his story, Seth recalls receiving flowers and messages of get well Rollins in his hospital bed and tells the crowd that he took all those messages, threw them in a bin and burned them. He makes it clear he doesn’t need to the support of the WWE Universe and never did. “Because there is only room on the Seth Rollins bandwagon for one man, and that man is me.”

Roman Reigns eventually interrupts Seth’s match and just when it looks like a fight might break out at ringside, Seth walks away saying he will only do that on his time because it’s his show. Shane O’Mac enters next and makes the big announcement that Rollins will indeed receive a title match and that he’s sure Roman will understand that. Seth is extremely happy with the decision and we will see the two face off at Money In The Bank!

Backstage Interview with Renee
Seth tells Renee that this time at Money In The Bank he gets to win the WWE Championship not because he’s Mr. MITB but because he is Seth Rollins and he is that damn good. He then gets an extremely excited expression upon seeing Stephanie McMahon beyond the camera field. He goes for a big hug on his old authority buddy but she rejects him. A confused Seth gets told that things are different around here now and so is their business relationship. Stephanie shakes his hand to welcome him back and Rollins with a slightly disgusted face simply says ok and stares after her. This would be the last of Seth Rollins we see on this edition of Raw but we will see him next on ESPN’s Sportscenter for his interview with The Coach.
