Seth Rollins has truly become “The Man” for WWE. He’s won the Money in the Bank ladder match and cashed in during the main event of WrestleMania, he’s had a statue built for him and he’s in line to compete for the new WWE Universal Championship against Finn Balor at SummerSlam this month.
In an appearance while on the road in Atlanta for a Monday Night Raw episode, Rollins spoke on Atlanta’s Rock 100.5 Bailey & Southside Morning Show about a few topics, including his appearance in Sharknado 4, meeting former Chicago Bears cornerback Charles “Peanut” Tillman, “wrestler’s court” and what happened after Roman Reigns was suspended before the Battleground pay-per-view for violating the company’s wellness policy.
Rollins on “wrestler’s court”:
"“I have not,” Rollins said when asked by the hosts if he had ever been brought for a wrestler’s court appearance in the locker room. “It’s a bit of an antiquated thing, but yes, back in the day particularly, there was a pecking order that was established and someone like The Undertaker or Bradshaw would be basically judge, jury and executioner. The case was presented and the prosecution defense, and then the leading veteran would make the decision on if you’re guilty or not and what you’re punishment would be.”"
The former champion would go on to mention that the punishments could be hard at times, but that was “before social media was a thing and before we were a publicly traded company”.
As for what happened with Reigns and the locker room after the suspension, Rollins said this on what happened and said it was “misunderstood” that rumors circulated about Reigns in “wrestler’s court”.
"“Roman addressed the locker room,” Rollins said. “He was a guy that wanted to talk to everyone about the situation. That was not a wrestler’s court situation at all. The wrestler’s court thing is more of a light-hearted affair, this was … that’s strictly a professional thing between him and the company.”"
