Seth Rollins made his first appearance as WWE World Champion on The “Today” Show this morning, with hosts Al Roker, Tamron Hall and Willie Geist. The show is taped in New York City, and Rollins noted on Twitter last night that he flew right from California to New York following WrestleMania.

The hosts started off by asking Rollins what happened last night as there appear to be many upset WWE fans. Rollins said he was Mr. Money in the Bank for 9 months, and could have cashed in at any time, but he chose to do so on the grandest stage of them all, WrestleMania. Rollins added he is now in possession of the real WWE World Title as he is the new Champion.

Rollins was then asked if the WWE Title should be won “fair and square,” to which Rollins replied by saying he did win the title fair and square. He said be beat Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar in a Triple Threat match, and now he’s heading to Raw as the new Champion.

The hosts wrapped up by asking how important an entrance is in WWE. Rollins said the entrance is very important in WWE, and he then showed a graphic with the hosts faces superimposed over Hulk Hogan, The Rock and Naomi.
