Seth Rollins admits he misses AEW star: ‘This is a weird one’

WWE Seth Rollins

Recently speaking to CBR in an interview, Seth Rollins opened up and admitted to missing AEW star Claudio Castagnoli.

Before his WWE departure in 2022, Castagnoli, previously known as Cesaro, was involved in a heated feud with Seth Rollins. While depicted as fierce on-screen rivals, Castagnoli and Rollins share a close relationship as the two also bond with John Cena over their shared interest in coffee. During his recent interview, Rollins opened up about the people he misses.

The former WWE World Champion mentioned his daughter, Roux, as someone he misses, before adding that when he’s with his family, he doesn’t miss anyone at all. However, Rollins also opened up and admitted that he misses the current CMLL World Heavyweight Champion, Claudio Castagnoli.

You know who I miss? This is a weird one. I miss Claudio. Well, I haven’t seen Claudio in a long time. I feel like it’s been too long. I don’t know the time.

Despite not seeing each other for a long time, they text each other frequently.

I talk to him all the time, but I haven’t been in his presence. So, I miss Claudio. Fellow coffee enthusiast. We keep in touch via the coffee texts with John, but it’s just not the same.”

Even outside of their WWE matches, Rollins and Castagnoli fought each other multiple times across ROH and several other indie promotions.
