Seth Rollins Tells Cody Rhodes He’s Coming for His Title – Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins engaged in a heated exchange of words on the February 24, episode of WWE RAW, setting the stage for what promises to be an intense rivalry moving forward.
Cody addressed The Rock’s offer for Cody to become “his” champion in exchange for his soul, revealing the weight of the decision. He noted that the choice doesn’t just affect him personally, but has significant implications for his family and the legacy he hopes to leave behind.
Before Cody could elaborate further, Seth Rollins interrupted, marking the first time the two had shared a ring since their showdown at WrestleMania XL. Seth wasted no time, questioning Cody, “What the hell are you thinking?” He reminded Cody of the lead-up to their past encounter at WrestleMania XL, particularly pointing out that Cody’s failure to slap The Rock had been a “slap” to Seth himself. Rollins went on to warn Cody, “Do not make me regret everything I sacrificed to help you win that WWE Championship.”
Seth also addressed Cody’s internal conflict, suggesting that if the title was weighing heavily on him, it had never been too much for Seth. In response, Cody pointed out that perhaps The Rock had asked for his soul instead of Seth’s because Seth’s soul had already been compromised. Cody reminded Seth of their past, referencing the sledgehammer attack that put him out of action and Seth’s role in splitting up The Shield. Cody also acknowledged Seth’s contribution to his victory at WrestleMania XL, calling him the “MVP” of that match.
Rollins fired back, saying that his involvement in Cody’s journey was motivated by a desire to protect him from the same bitterness and hate that he had carried over the years. Seth added that he was going to win the Elimination Chamber and wanted to face the Cody Rhodes who had returned to the company, the one he battled inside Hell in a Cell, and the one he helped become the Undisputed WWE Champion.
Seth closed the exchange with a chilling statement, declaring, “I’m not coming for your soul, but I’m coming for your title.”
