WWE's Seth Rollins & Paul Heyman Talk Trash to ESPN's Stephen A. Smith

Rollins and Heyman were in character during the interview, essentially cutting a promo on Roman Reigns, CM Punk, and AJ Lee.

This was Heyman's first public appearance since being choked out by Roman Reigns at Clash in Paris. Heyman suggested that he sustained legitimate injuries from Reigns.

At the end of the interview, Heyman pulled the ultimate heel move on a sports network by calling the NFL "fake."

Rollins will team with his wife, Women's Intercontinental Champion Becky Lynch, this Saturday at Wrestlepalooza against rivals CM Punk and AJ Lee, who will wrestle for the first time in over ten years.
