WWE SmackDown Superstar Seth Rollins stated via Twitter on Thursday night that misses his former rival Brock Lesnar.
Rollins was responding to a tweet from WWE’s official Twitter handle, which posted a clip of Lesnar destroying Rollins in the backstage area exactly two years ago. The segment was in the lead-up to
SummerSlam 2019 where Rollins pinned Lesnar for the second time in less than six months to capture the Universal Championship, following his victory over The Beast at
WrestleMania 35.
Earlier this month, a report noted that WWE wanted Lesnar to return at SummerSlam on August 21, but there was no deal in place as of late June.

WWE SmackDown Superstar Seth Rollins has said that although he misses live audiences and interacting with fans, performing inside the ThunderDome has allowed WWE to tell stories “a little bit cleaner” since there’s no chance of a promo segment or match being hijacked by the crowds.
During an appearance on Ryan Satin’s
Out of Character podcast, Rollins admitted that he’s able to get through a promo segment without having to side-eye the audience.
“The ThunderDome has definitely allowed us to tell our stories a little bit cleaner in the sense that things are not as up-and-down as they would normally be,” said Rollins. “Whether that’s a good or bad thing, I’m not sure. But I do miss the fans, the adrenaline and live interaction. That said, I still love being able to cut a promo and get all the through it without having to sid-eye the audience.”
