Dave Meltzer of The Wrestling Observer is reporting that Seth Rollins wasn’t originally supposed to be the focus of last night’s angle with The OC that featured a run-in by DX and The Outsiders last night.
According to Meltzer on “Wrestling Observer Radio,” the original featured talent in the Seth Rollins role was supposed to be Ricochet, but The One and Only was unable to compete due to an elbow infection. The plan was to have Ricochet get the rub and blessing of the WWE Hall of Famers to elevate his star power, but when that idea got thwarted, Seth Rollins took the role as AJ Styles’ opponent.
