In an interview with Ariel Helwani on the BT Sport YouTube channel, WWE Superstar Seth Rollins spoke about playing second fiddle to former Shield stablemate Roman Reigns.

Rollins explained:

"Even when I had won the title at WrestleMania, cashed in, great moment, I still felt like I was second fiddle to Roman [Reigns]. I still felt like he was the guy. You're the placeholder until he's totally ready and we're totally ready to put the ball in his hands, but for now you're a step ahead so we're going to give you this - and then we'll move on to what we really want to be, but it's just going to take a few months."

Rollins also expressed that this feeling seems to be a theme throughout his career, even going back to his ROH days as Tyler Black.

"I've never been the one on the marquee at WrestleMania. It was John [Cena], it was Roman [Reigns]; in some regards when I was at Ring of Honor it was Nigel [McGuinness] or it was Bryan [Danielson].

"I was always the guy on the come up, or on the underneath. I was kind of the second, or the next big thing type, and that always just eats at me. It eats at me so much. I don't know where that competitive spark comes from but it drives me insane."
