We go to part one of the Seth Rollins interview with Michael Cole.

Cole welcomes Seth back and says it has been a few months.  Seth says it is nervous coming back but he has been welcomed back with open arms.  He loved the time with his family but the energy of the crowd has him come alive.

Cole asks Seth about the family.  Seth says Becky is great and he cannot talk about her future.  He says their daughter is three and a half and she runs things.

Cole asks Seth about Wrestlemania weekend and being in the ring on night one.  Seth says it was cold but then there was a bigness.  He felt at home and where he was supposed to be.  He knew the adrenaline would get him through the night.  The result wasn't what they wanted.

Cole asks about opening night two.after a forty-five minute match on Saturday.  Seth says he never wrestled both nights of Wrestlemania.  You usually take a deep breath and say that you did it.  Seth metioned that he realized he had to do it a second night.  

Cole mentions working back to back nights but he brings up that Wrestlemania is different.  He asks why did Seth want to be in both matches.  Seth says he has a duty to the title to defend it to the best of his ability.  He wasn't going to vacate the title.  You always have a puncher's chance and Drew could have made a mistake during the match, but it didn't happen until after the match.

Cole asks why did Seth get involved with the Bloodline.  He says he was willing to sacrifice his well-being to get rid of Roman.

Cole asks how did Roman's obsession with him affect the title match.  Seth says he knew that getting to the ring would get Roman off his game and it worked.

Seth says there might have been some jealous but he says he felt fulfilled after Wrestlemania and that he could take a rest for the first time in twelve years.  He knew he could get the surgery and take a break.

Michael Cole talks about the WWE having to get involved with the Canadian government to allow Jacob Fatu into the country.

Sami Zayn is with Cathy Kelley.  

She asks Sami how has he juggled everything this week.  Sami says the last ten days have been difficult.  It was two different things.  Running a comedy show was tough but he had to juggle that with preparing for Bron Breakker.  It has been tough to balance those, but the comedy show is over.  He says the adrenaline is kicking in with some nerves.  Sami says he doesn't see himself leaving his home country without the Intercontinental Championship.

Jackie Redmond is with Bron Breakker.  She asks if Sami has the advantage because of experience.  Bron says Sami has the edge and has been wrestling all over the world.  He has never been in the ring with an athlete like Bron.  Bron says it will be that much sweeter when he wins the title in Canada against Sami.

We go to Jey Uso with Cathy Kelley.

She asks Jey about his comments from Monday and how a win would affect his trajectory.  Jey says it will lead to his first singles title.  He says he will be grab the case and win tonight.

We move on to part two of the Seth Rollins interview.

Cole asks Seth about Damian Priest, the other man to cash in Money in the Bank at Wrestlemania.  Cole asks about Priest as World Champion.

Seth says he remembers his first reign.  It is hard to imagine yourself as champion and then have to deal with the pressure.  Is he holding the title until Seth comes back?  Maybe.  Seth says Priest has done well, but he needed The Judgment Day to help him win.  Did he ask for it?  He did get it.  Seth says he feels confident tonight.

Cole brings up the conditions they put on this match and he asks Seth why did he do it.  Seth says he sees the potential in Priest.  Seth says he knows what it is like to have people you can depend on.  Your legacy is not the group, it is yourself.  Priest will learn to stand on his own two feet.

Cole asks Seth about his legacy.  He asks if Seth has reconsidered what his legacy needs to be.  Seth says he feels like he is hitting his prime, but he says more of his career is in the past than the future.  He says he has thought about his legacy.  He wants to win the World Championship and he wants to build on everything he has done.

Cole asks what happens if Seth does not win.  Seth says he hasn't thought about that.  He says he feels confident about himself.  He says he has lost as many titles as he has won.  If he cannot win, he will have to figure out how to move forward.  Seth says he does his best with his back against the wall.  

Cole brings up Seth having to face Gunther if he wins tonight.  Seth says that is a dream match.  There isn't much left for him to face, but Seth says he hasn't faced Gunther yet.  Seth says he will be happy to face Gunther at SummerSlam.
