Seth Rollins: WWE ‘Doesn’t Need’ UFC Stars to Crossover

In an interview with Sky Sports, Seth Rollins said he doesn’t think the WWE needs a UFC crossover on future shows.

During a recent interview with Sky Sports, Seth Rollins revealed his thoughts on UFC crossing over into the world of WWE. Rollins seems adamant that WWE “doesn’t need” UFC stars to keep the company relevant. Admitting that the company shouldn’t be targeting high-profile athletes to maintain viewership.

"“I think we have maybe the most talented roster of all time,” Rollins said. “I don’t think we need anybody to help or crossover. Conversely, Seth did say that if “they want to come over to our world and have some fun then that’s cool”. However, “we’re happy doing our thing on our own”."

Is Rollins showing a little bit of frustration? It would seem so. However, to his point, the roster has never looked so good. Moreover, the company shouldn’t have to look elsewhere for big starts, when they’ve got them (in abundance) right under their nose.

As many will know, WWE have been in constant talks with Ronda Rousey, who is currently being trained by Brian Kendrick, and even made an appearance at the Mae Young Classic. Furthermore, to Rollins’ disappointment, it looks like WWE are definitely looking to bring on board former UFC stars.

To conclude the interview, Rollins spoke about his SummerSlam memories. He discussed his favorites matches, as well as a popular moment in WWE history:

"“SummerSlam was a big part of my childhood and there [have] been some legendary matches. I really liked it when Hulk Hogan and Ultimate Warrior teamed up against Slaughter and Adnan one year. I loved it when Liz and Savage got married too. Bulldog and Bret at Wembley, the TLC match between The Hardyz, Dudleys, Edge & Christian; there’s a tonne of memories.”"

Rollins is right, there’s been a ton of memories at SummerSlam. One that comes to mind, including the former Shield member, is the time he faced off against Dean Ambrose. Now, three years later, the two are “bringing the band back together” (well, sort of).
