WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth "Freakin" Rollins recently took to social media to react to the announcement that he will defend his championship against Damian Priest of The Judgment Day on July 7.

"WHC. MSG. Let's goooooooo," Seth Rollins said in a tweet.

As far as the title defense is concerned, this will likely be a dark match and won't be seen live on SmackDown next month.

When Triple H announced the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, he presented it as a title that could be defended by the champion anywhere at any time.

While it's likely that many fans took it a different way, Rollins is seemingly embracing that mindset and has gone on to tease a match again one of New Japan Pro-Wrestling's top stars.

Will Ospreay recently took to social media to mention that The O2 Arena, where WWE will host Money in the Bank next month, is only 20 minutes from his home.

"The 02 arena is 20 minutes from my house aye *eyeball emoji*," Will Ospreay said in a tweet.

Rollins caught wind of Ospreay's tweet and responded with one of the stars' key catchphrases.

"Bruv," Seth Rollins said in a tweet.

While it's incredibly unlikely that we'll see this WWE vs. New Japan Pro-Wrestling matchup, it's certainly a fun dream match to think about.
