As an extension of his previous point, Roman revealed why he has ultimate respect for Seth Rollins.

It wasn't their time together in NXT, their strong bond as part of The Shield or even any of their matches together that seriously impressed Reigns. No, it was the way Seth acted minutes after winning the WWE Title at WrestleMania 31. He didn't celebrate - Rollins asked what time his flight to New York was.

The new champ had to catch a red-eye from San Francisco to NY for a morning TV show, then grab another plane back to California for Monday's Raw at the SAP Center in San Jose. When Reigns caught up with Seth the next day, he just laughed; Rollins looked "dead tired", and he could sympathise after being bounced around by Brock Lesnar.

Both guys giggled deliriously when they recalled saying they were gonna' tear up the 'Mania after party. They couldn't, because they had more commitments to WWE and had to keep on rolling. Seth knew that as soon as he won the belt.
