13 Things We Learned From Seth Rollins On Talk Is Jericho
5. When Did He Find Out He Was Coming Back?
Chris wants to know how far in advance Seth knew he would be making his return to TV, and he laughs and replies that he only knew a week or two at the most before it happened. He was in the gym when he received a call from Mark Carano who told him the plan was the he was coming back at Extreme Rules.
He hadn't heard anything from anyone in charge regarding his return, but he'd been feeling good physically and had been texting Triple H and Michael Hayes and asking them to let him know if they heard anything because he'd like to be a part of the creative process for his return.
He went down to Florida at the Performance Center for five days to work out, and spent his time in the ring with Tye Dillinger - who he calls a vet that's been around and is super easy to work with - and the two just clicked easily.
Chris asks if there was anything he was nervous to do upon getting back in the ring and Seth laughingly replies that he was worried about using The Pedigree, because they removed a portion of his patella tendon and it made the front of his knee somewhat sore to the touch.
Of all the things he had done, touching his knee to the ground still made him apprehensive.
