Seth Rollins wants a new challenge on WWE SmackDown

On WWE SmackDown last week, Edge made a surprise return and destroyed Roman Reigns’ celebration. Soon after that, it was confirmed that he would challenge Reigns for the Universal Championship at the Money in the Bank pay-per-view. The announcement did not sit well with Seth Rollins, as he believes he deserves the title shot instead of The Rated-R Superstar.

Rollins vented his frustration during the latest episode of WWE Talking Smack and said:

"No, no, no, there's no way, they promised it to me. Guys, they promised it to me, you don't understand. This is everything that I've worked for. I've never been more ready in my entire life. Mentally, physically, spiritually, I am ready to be the next Universal Champion. I deserve the opportunity, not Edge. Not Edge. Not Edge! Where's he been? He hasn't even been here since WrestleMania, he hasn't even done anything.”

“He got his match at WrestleMania, I don't care if it was a triple threat match. That's not my fault. They put Daniel Bryan in that match. This just can't be, you guys, look, there's gotta be something we can do. I don't care what Edge wants! I'm Seth freakin' Rollins! This place revolves around me! I've been here everyday, I didn't take six months off. I've been here everyday. Busting my a**. I deserve that shot. I deserve that title match."

Rollins has been involved in an extended feud with Cesaro on WWE SmackDown. He picked up a sneaky victory over The Swiss Cyborg at WWE Hell in a Cell. It initially appeared as though their feud had ended, but both superstars faced each other in another match on WWE SmackDown last week. Is it now time for Rollins to finally move on to a new feud?
