WWE Interview Highlights

-- WWE star Seth Rollins says he's eying a match with Triple H in the future. "I know that’s interesting considering our current affiliation, but there doesn’t always have to be an element of hate involved there - it could be a competitive match," Rollins told James Delow of TalkSPORT in the U.K.

"He’s someone who is a measuring stick, he’s done a lot for me specifically and I’d just like to test the water at some point. I think it would be a really interesting match up."

Rollins also offered interesting comments on WWE's Performance Center that people thinking about Roman Reigns will find amusing. "It will pay dividends going forward, but to me there’s no replacement for having passion, heart, and desire and just working your way from the bottom up," Rollins said, while also endorsing Ring of Honor as a place to learn and grow.

“There are so many guys to learn from, so many styles (at the Performance Center). Guys who are well-travelled made millions and millions of dollars, everything there is to know about professional wrestling. If you can’t learn from them in everything, how to cut promos, how to be a character, how to wrestle inside the rings, the ins and outs - and on top of that, you’re getting paid to train! I had to pay to train, working odd jobs. If you’re getting paid to live in sunny Florida and train under the greatest minds of our era and you can’t succeed, you’re just not built for this."

-- WWE star Jack Swagger talked about the importance of Zeb Colter (Dutch Mantell), not only as his TV manager, but helping the Creative process behind-the-scenes.

"I can’t tell you how many things he has helped me, other Superstars, the creative team, and even Vince (McMahon) with. An all-around good person and his experience is almost incomparable in this day and age," Swagger said in an interview on the Ring Rust Radio show prior to the Royal Rumble.

"With wrestling, it’s a different generation and mentality that still works. You have to take the match like that, work like that, and have that mentality. I think the main thing with him is he wants physicality. He has worked with me on a lot of things like my size and being more physical and when to do something in a certain spot. The best thing about him being out there is you never know what he is going to say ringside. There has been so many times he has said something and made me pop and I laughed right in the middle of the ring. That may be bad for some matches that’s always a good thing with me."
