Seth Rollins commented on The Rock's rise in WWE and beyond while discussing his ties with the real-life Bloodline. Rollins, who is currently out with a knee injury, had nothing but praise for The Final Boss.
The Visionary might be dealing with an injury, but it didn't stop him from being the guest host on The Rich Eisen Show. He showed his sports knowledge on Wednesday, showcasing a possible future as an on-air analyst and personality.
During one of the segments of the show, co-host TJ Jefferson asked Mr. Money in the Bank which WWE Superstar is the equivalent of tennis legend Serena Williams. After some tinkering, Seth Rollins compared Williams to The Rock due to his family ties and success as an individual.
"He had his family already. His family tree had already been deeply ingrained in our industry. And for him to come in to put that expectation on him would have been crazy. You're going to take everything that your dad and your uncles and all that, and you're going to take that to the next level and you're going to make it. But he had a vision to be bigger than wrestling, to transcend his sport," Rollins said. [From 11:45 - 12:06]

The Rock was born into a wrestling family, a third-generation star and a member of the Anoa'i Family. He exceeded expectations, turning into one of the greatest WWE Superstars in history. He wasn't satisfied, so he conquered Hollywood and became one of its most bankable stars.
As for Serena Williams, she was overshadowed by her older sister Venus Williams early in their careers. She eventually turned into one of, if not the greatest, female tennis players ever. She also turned herself into a brand that's recognized worldwide.
Seth Rollins provides an update on his injured knee
During his match against LA Knight at Saturday Night's Main Event, Seth Rollins suffered a right knee injury. It appeared to be legitimate when Knight quickly hit the BFT for the pin, which seemed to be an audible from backstage.
Rollins was reportedly on crutches at WWE Evolution, though there have been conflicting updates regarding his injury. The Visionary finally broke his silence about the matter on Wednesday's hosting gig of The Rich Eisen Show, explaining what happened when he went to see a specialist in Birmingham, Alabama.
"There was some imaging. It was a little too swollen, so we’re going to take another look, hopefully in a week or two here in LA. Trying to get some sort of firm diagnosis, and we can go from there. I am not a doctor. I only know my body and what I feel. What I feel is that this is going to be me out for an extended period of time," Rollins said. [H/T: VICE.com]
Seth Rollins is hoping to get healthy by WrestleMania 42 next year. Fans will have to wait to see what the official diagnosis is once the swelling in his knee subsides.
