Seth Rollins admits he misses AEW star: ‘This is a weird one’
Recently speaking to CBR in an interview, Seth Rollins opened up and admitted to missing AEW star and current CMLL Heavyweight Champion Claudio Castagnoli.
Before his WWE departure in 2022, Castagnoli, previously known as Cesaro, was involved in a heated feud with Rollins. While depicted as fierce on-screen rivals, Castagnoli and Rollins share a close relationship as the two also bonded with John Cena over their shared interest in coffee.
During his recent interview, Rollins opened up about the people he misses.
“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,” he said, noting he also misses his daughter, Roux.
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,” he said.
Even outside of their WWE matches, Rollins and Castagnoli competed against each other multiple times across ROH and several other indie promotions.
