Seth Rollins Shares Heartfelt Thoughts on a Former WWE Colleague He Truly Misses
In a candid moment during an interview with CBR, Seth Rollins opened his heart about a former WWE colleague who holds a special place in his memories. The former World Heavyweight Champion revealed that he deeply misses fellow wrestler Claudio Castagnoli, who is now making waves in AEW and currently reigns as the CMLL World Heavyweight Champion.
Rollins expressed that while he often finds himself longing for his daughter Roux whenever he’s traveling, it’s Castagnoli who stands out as a peer he wishes he could catch up with face-to-face. "You know who I miss? This might sound unusual, but I truly miss Claudio. It feels like ages since I last saw him. I really can't recall how long it’s been," he remarked, reflecting on their friendship.
The Coffee Connection
Before Castagnoli made his exit from WWE in 2022, he and Rollins were known for their intense rivalries in the ring. However, behind the scenes, they forged a strong bond, largely fueled by their shared passion for coffee. This camaraderie also extends to John Cena, who is part of their informal "coffee club." Despite working for different promotions now, Rollins shared that the three of them maintain their connection through text messages focused on coffee, although he admits it’s not quite the same as being together in person. "I chat with him frequently, but it’s just not the same as being there with him. I miss Claudio, my friend who shares my coffee enthusiasm. We keep in touch through our coffee texts with John, but it lacks the warmth of real presence."
While Rollins continues to be a prominent figure on WWE’s Raw programming, Castagnoli shines in AEW, proudly holding championship gold in CMLL. For those interested in hearing more about Rollins' insights, you can check out the complete interview here.
