Seth Rollins believes the night two headliner is the true main event of two-nighter WWE shows and doesn’t care what anyone says about it.

Seth Rollins is set to challenge Roman Reigns for the World Heavyweight Championship at the WWE SummerSlam Premium Live Event at US Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The company announced the official card for the show earlier today and revealed that Rollins vs. Reigns will headline night two on August 2.

Ahead of the event, Seth Rollins appeared on Busted Open Radio to talk about his role. He also shared his thoughts, saying the second night’s headliner is the real main event of two-nighter events like SummerSlam and WrestleMania.

When host Bully Ray asked him which night he prefers to compete in the two-nighter events, Seth Rollins admitted he doesn’t have much experience with night two.

“Gosh, you know what? I don’t know that I’ve had much experience with night two, to be honest with you. I think about my Mania history. We did SummerSlam, obviously; last year was a two-nighter, but I didn’t wrestle on it. I just cashed in the Money in the Bank contract at the end of night one. Most of my WrestleManias have been night one as far as matches are concerned. So, yeah, I guess I’ll let you know after Sunday night,” Seth Rollins said.

Bully Ray then asked him whether he prefers competing in the first match of a show to leave early or staying until the end to be in the main event. Seth Rollins replied that he prefers the pressure of the main event. He also explained that that’s why he entered the business and noted that anyone who doesn’t strive for the same is in the wrong place.

“No, I prefer the pressure of the main event. I like the pressure. I want it all. You know what I mean? That’s why you get in the business. It’s the main event, the big shows. No offense, like, if you’re getting in and being like, ‘You know what? I’d like to be the second match on the card,’ then you’re in the wrong business,” Rollins continued.

“I think all of us want to be at the top, and the top is the match that goes on last. I don’t care what anybody says. I know there’s a lot of conversation around the WrestleMania main events now that there’s two nights. But I’m of the feeling that night two, the last match that goes on is the money drawer. That’s the big match. It’s the marquee match. So that’s the business I got into, and so I always want to close the show,” Rollins concluded.
