"Seth Rollins reflects on breaking John Cena’s nose and why he still apologizes later now!"
There are situations in wrestling that never leave the minds of performers and in the case of Seth Rollins, one of these situations occurred almost ten years ago.
In a recent interview, Rollins did not hesitate to discuss the night in which he accidentally broke the nose of John Cena on WWE television, indicating that he is still regretting it to this day. This happened in one of the high profile matches during the Monday Night Raw in 2015 when a knee strike struck directly and inflicted a real injury.
What was even more memorable about the situation was the way Cena managed to deal with it. He did not complain after breaking his nose and sustaining visible damage on his face, but completed the game. Rollins remembered how she felt panicked immediately after the injury in the ring, but very worried backstage after the injury had sunk in. Rollins says that feeling did not leave him completely.
An Event still biting Rollins.
Being very straightforward, Rollins said that the apology did not cease when the show was over. Over the years, he has kept on revisiting it every time he meets Cena and apologized to him. He does not do it because he has to, but because he respects another performer who has aided in defining an era of WWE.
Rollins pointed out the fact that Cena did not take the injury against him. As a matter of fact, the reaction of Cena just strengthened the image that he has established throughout the industry as a wrestler with a rough yet professional side. Cena was back in the ring in no time and had gone on to the next level by years in his career which also consisted of his run and his goodbye performances.
The book is a peek into the realities of wrestling that is presented on the screen. Although the results can be predetermined, the physical threats are quite tangible. This is because errors can occur within seconds and so can careers. Rollins admitted that the job responsibility should involve responsibility, particularly when joining his hands with a person he could give the ring and the person trusted him all the way.
To the fans, the incident has turned out to be a piece of history in wrestling. In the case of Rollins, it is personal. His additional excuse of apologizing is not guilt, but responsibility and respect. These values are important to an industry that has been constructed on trust even after the cameras have been turned off.
