Seth Rollins comments on potentially leaving WWE for Hollywood

Rollins follows in the footsteps of many other top WWE stars who have transitioned into Hollywood over the years, including The Rock, Batista and John Cena.
Speaking with Daily Mail about his upcoming movie role, Rollins was asked if he sees himself being a ‘WWE lifer’, or if he can see himself transitioning full-time into acting.

Rollins responded:
“As I sit here right now in my wrestling school seeing people fall down behind me, I feel like I’m always going to be part of the industry in some shape of form. You look at The Rock as the example here, and he’s a different beast, right? What you were seeing from John at the time, he was at the peak of his popularity in WWE at the time and it was seeing The Rock come back every year. So, The Rock wasn’t just gone for a hiccup, he was gone for a year and then coming back and taking away an opportunity from someone else who had been there and grinding and all that. 
“What John didn’t see was the bigger picture and how many more eyes The Rock was going to bring to WWE, to WrestleMania and to the talent as a whole. John missed that part, and he will tell you now that he was a little nearsighted in that regard. And you saw when John Cena came back to WrestleMania this year, it wasn’t to be on the marquee, it wasn’t to be anything other than to be part of the show and contribute in any way that he could.
“As for me, I don’t know where my future lies. I feel, like I said, at this moment wrestling is my future for as long as I can do it at a high level. But there’s going to come a day when falling down is going to turn my bones to dust and I will have to start looking elsewhere and seeing what other options there are. I don’t think that’s coming any time soon and I’m just in the prime of my career right now and there’s a lot of years ahead of me.”

Rollins is set to defend his World Heavyweight Championship against Finn Balor at WWE Money In The Bank in London next weekend.
