"When we last spoke to Seth Rollins he was The Architect of The Shield, one third of the most exciting stable in the WWE. But in June, Seth stabbed his brothers/business partners* (*delete as appropriate) in the back, joined up with The Authority, and broke our hearts forever.  Invited for a rematch, Digital Spy originally only had one question. Then we stopped crying, pulled ourselves together, and tried to be professional. Here&amp;#039;s what The Traitor Seth Rollins had to say for himself. Two months after you split up The Shield - was it worth it? &amp;quot;I mean, I&amp;#039;m sitting here next to a gold briefcase saying I&amp;#039;m the Money in the Bank contract winner. It says that I&amp;#039;m the future WWE World Heavyweight Champion. So &amp;#039;Yes&amp;#039; [laughs]. It was very much worth it.&amp;quot; Did you anticipate how much of a pain in the ass Dean Ambrose would be? &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m a smart guy. I like to think I know a thing or two, especially about those two and I kind of knew how each of them would respond. Now, did I think Ambrose was going to take it to the level he&amp;#039;s been taking it? Trying to dedicate an entire year of his existence to me not winning the Heavyweight Championship? No. But I am also prepared to deal with Dean Ambrose in that way, so it&amp;#039;s okay - It&amp;#039;ll be alright, it&amp;#039;ll be just fine.&amp;quot; We spoke to Batista recently and he tipped Roman Reigns as the ex-Shield member to be The Guy - why will it be Seth Rollins instead? &amp;quot;Everybody wants to look at Roman Reigns and talk about how he&amp;#039;s going to be The Guy. That makes sense, &amp;#039;cos to me he&amp;#039;s the prototype of what the WWE has looked for in the past as far as being a top guy. I&amp;#039;m not taking anything away from Roman. Roman&amp;#039;s ultra-talented he&amp;#039;s got the look, he puts in the time, he&amp;#039;s going to be a major player for years to come.  &amp;quot;But people underestimate me - they always have my entire career. They&amp;#039;ve always said, &amp;#039;He&amp;#039;s only so good, he&amp;#039;s only going to get this far. He&amp;#039;s only going to be this type of guy&amp;#039;. I&amp;#039;m not 6&amp;#039;4&amp;quot;, I&amp;#039;m not 250 lb. I&amp;#039;m 6&amp;#039;1&amp;quot;, 6&amp;#039;2&amp;quot; on a good day and I&amp;#039;m 205 lbs. But there&amp;#039;s literally nobody in this company who&amp;#039;s going to outwork me. Nobody. From an in-ring standpoint, from a training standpoint. &amp;quot;Nobody is going to outwork me. I&amp;#039;m going to do that till the day I die, and that is going to be my legacy here in the WWE. I&amp;#039;m going to be the guy who&amp;#039;s worked my way to the top and I did it the hard way every single time. I think that&amp;#039;s what&amp;#039;s going to set me apart from a guy like Roman Reigns.&amp;quot; There&amp;#039;s been a lot of bad blood, but forever is a long time - could you ever see a reunion one day down the line? &amp;quot;Shoot, that&amp;#039;s a long way off, if the option&amp;#039;s ever there. Right now we&amp;#039;re real focused on what we&amp;#039;re doing individually. I&amp;#039;ve got this Money in the Bank deal that I&amp;#039;m real focused on, and I&amp;#039;m focused on getting Dean Ambrose out of my hair at SummerSlam. &amp;quot;Right now it doesn&amp;#039;t seem likely for where we&amp;#039;re at, but people change and time changes people, so we&amp;#039;ll see what happens. Right now it doesn&amp;#039;t look too good!&amp;quot;      What do you think about Dean&amp;#039;s choice of stipulation for SummerSlam? &amp;quot;It is what it is - Dean Ambrose is a kooky guy. He&amp;#039;s got a strange way of thinking about things, which can be interesting one way or another. I haven&amp;#039;t processed the information fully yet. I think I need a couple of days to put it all together and figure it out.&amp;quot; We saw a successful cash-in last SummerSlam - will you be tempted to do the same on John Cena or Brock Lesnar? &amp;quot;Obviously my main focus is Dean Ambrose and getting past that hurdle, but after that&amp;#039;s done, absolutely. It would be foolish of me not to have my eyes on that World Heavyweight Championship match. Those guys are going to beat the living hell out of each other, no doubt about it, and whoever&amp;#039;s standing is not going to be standing very strongly. &amp;quot;But depending on my condition coming out of SummerSlam and the condition of whoever is the champion after that match - anything could happen. That&amp;#039;s the beauty of the WWE and that&amp;#039;s the beauty of being the Money in the Bank contract winner.&amp;quot; Brock&amp;#039;s last opponent was The Undertaker - will we ever see him in a WWE ring again? &amp;quot;I don&amp;#039;t know if he&amp;#039;s ever taken a beating like he took from Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania, and he&amp;#039;s getting a little bit older as well. It might have been his last straw. I for one would love to see him come back, maybe get a measure of revenge, but I don&amp;#039;t know if that&amp;#039;s going to happen. It&amp;#039;s really all up in the air.&amp;quot; Would you like to see Sting step into a WWE ring for at least one match? &amp;quot;Oh yeah, absolutely. I think Sting&amp;#039;s got a lot to bring to the table. I think having him a part of the WWE Universe, part of the family, is pretty awesome. It&amp;#039;s something that if you were watching wrestling for a long time, something you might have thought you were never going to see. &amp;quot;So having him on board, having him being a part of the whole thing is pretty awesome. Hopefully he gets more involved. The appearances are great right now but I think we&amp;#039;d all love to see him in the WWE ring someday.&amp;quot;      Fergal Devitt and Kenta have been signed to NXT - how exciting is it to get these guys into the WWE? &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;ve never worked with Fergal Devitt at all in any capacity, I&amp;#039;ve only watched his stuff - man is he impressive. Kenta is a guy I&amp;#039;ve worked against, and within the capacity of professional wrestling and as a person Kenta&amp;#039;s a great guy. I&amp;#039;m looking forward to both of those guys flourishing in NXT and hopefully sooner than later being bumped up to the main roster and working with all of us. I&amp;#039;m sure they&amp;#039;re ready to have great matches with me again.&amp;quot; At a time of cuts, as a guy who&amp;#039;s been at the top since you made the main roster, what advice would you give to up and comers to stand out and not be &amp;#039;future endeavoured&amp;#039;? &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;d say just keep your hopes up high and your head low. There&amp;#039;s a lot to be said for being humble. You&amp;#039;ve got to know your capabilities, you&amp;#039;ve got to know your strengths and weaknesses. But at the same time you&amp;#039;ve got to be a genuine human being. I think the cream always rises to the top in every walk of life. &amp;quot;There are always guys who are going to try to find the easy way out, but there&amp;#039;s a lot to be said for hard work and just putting in the time and just being there every day and grinding it out. &amp;quot;For me, if you&amp;#039;re a young guy really trying to make a name for yourself, just go in, do the work, thank everybody involved and just be happy to be there and have a great time. I think it all works itself out and as long as you&amp;#039;re a genuine person you&amp;#039;ll be fine.&amp;quot; What do you think about the SummerSlam match between Stephanie McMahon and Brie Bella? &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s going to be a catfight for sure. Brie... she is not completely sane! She is going to be out of her mind. Stephanie is a McMahon and they are ruthless. Stephanie has shown that over the course of her career, especially over the past few months. &amp;quot;It should be a hell of a match-up, because you can&amp;#039;t really call it. Who knows what&amp;#039;s going to happen. It&amp;#039;s pretty interesting and I&amp;#039;m looking forward to seeing those two claw each other&amp;#039;s eyes out. Figuratively.&amp;quot;      Paige and AJ are also on the bill - and Sasha Banks, Charlotte, Natalya and the rest are all in the mix. Is it as good a time as ever for Divas and women&amp;#039;s wrestling? &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;d say so. I think it&amp;#039;s a great time for women&amp;#039;s wrestling and just women in the WWE. You look at Total Divas as well and the audience that brings in. That&amp;#039;s great for us and it&amp;#039;s great for everybody. It&amp;#039;s all about creating new stars. These women are as powerful as any man in the WWE. &amp;quot;You mentioned some names - Charlotte, Sasha Banks and Becky Lynch down there too - you&amp;#039;ve got a lot of talented women who aren&amp;#039;t afraid to take what&amp;#039;s theirs. It&amp;#039;s a pretty cool time - you&amp;#039;ve got men and women all fighting for the same few spots on a card, that&amp;#039;s making everybody better and that&amp;#039;s what we&amp;#039;re trying to do here.&amp;quot; TNA has had its publicised problems and Ring of Honor and some great UK indies are a good alternative - but do we miss the real competition the WWE had during the Monday Night Wars? &amp;quot;People say that, but I don&amp;#039;t know if that&amp;#039;s necessarily the case. The Monday Night Wars have such a pivotal point in the company&amp;#039;s history that people get excited and think &amp;#039;That&amp;#039;s what we&amp;#039;re missing, is competition&amp;#039;.  &amp;quot;But if you look at any other major sports league, there&amp;#039;s only one NFL. There&amp;#039;s not a competing, rival football league that&amp;#039;s really pushing the business. The NFL is riding on its own. Major League Baseball makes money hand over fist on its own every year. I don&amp;#039;t think competition has as much to do with it as people wanna say. &amp;quot;The competitive spirit of a McMahon is always going to be there. We&amp;#039;re always trying to get better, we&amp;#039;re always trying to grow, we&amp;#039;re always trying to do new things. Competition fuels ingenuity and creativity but to say that that&amp;#039;s the reason for anything not being what it used to be is a little far-fetched.&amp;quot;      What do you think about what Triple H has done down in Full Sail at NXT? &amp;quot;I think it&amp;#039;s great. You look at what the developmental system was before in the WWE and NXT blows it out of the water. Essentially they&amp;#039;ve created their own brand. I&amp;#039;ve seen prototypes for a Sami Zayn action figure and I&amp;#039;ve heard rumours they might have their own characters in the upcoming video game WWE 2K15. &amp;quot;If you look at stuff like that, that wasn&amp;#039;t even a possibility a couple of years ago. If you look at 5, 6 years ago, somebody would laugh at you if you mentioned that. About 10 years ago, 12 years ago in OVW when you had the huge class of Randy Orton and John Cena and Batista. Even then if you would have said, &amp;#039;You know what, let&amp;#039;s make a video game character out of John Cena&amp;#039;, the people in WWE would have thought it was a joke. &amp;quot;So you look at where we&amp;#039;re at now and it&amp;#039;s pretty incredible, and all that credit goes to Triple H. He&amp;#039;s the visionary behind that whole thing. He&amp;#039;s the guy that wanted to do that, that wanted to put that into action and really make this a full-blown process. It&amp;#039;s flourished beyond even what he could have imagined.&amp;quot; Watch WWE SummerSlam LIVE Sunday night/Monday morning on August 17/18 at 1am on Sky Sports Box Office and on the WWE Network in the US.
