second rounds before finally pressing the action in

Seth Rollins will battle Finn Balor at SummerSlam on Sunday for the newly created WWE Universal Championship. Rollins visited the ESPN campus and sat down for an interview on the match, that fan rushing the stage at Raw, and more.Ben Houser:?SummerSlam, what are we going to see from Seth Rollins?Seth Rollins:Mostly what you can expect -- a big match, Seth Rollins, WWE Universal Championship, first time against Finn Balor. Aside from him being a tremendous opponent, I just think youre going to see me go out there and deliver in big match situations, so Im looking forward to the energy and the crowd and the match itself.Houser:?It wasnt that long ago that you came up; what is it like that you built the brand for yourself as Seth Rollins and youre about to take on a younger talent in his first big match?Rollins: Its super-exciting for me, actually, to be on the other side of the coin. You know even last year, you go back to SummerSlam and look at my match with John Cena, and I feel like were in a complete role reversal. I feel like Im in the John Cena position this year and Finn Balor is in my position, so its crazy, you know, how much can change in a year. Im looking forward to that challenge because its a new challenge for me; its not something Im used to. And now in the locker room, Im almost a veteran at this point, which is just wild with all the new guys coming up and stuff like that. For me its a tremendous honor. Its cool to be looked at that way, as a leader and as someone whos going to help take this generation to the next level.Houser: What are Finn Balors talents that you see?Rollins: In the ring, Finn Balor is one of the most polished performers that we have. Hes got a uniqueness about him the way he moves; obviously, the Demon King side of his persona is very interesting and differentiates him from a lot of the other talent that we have right now on the roster. I just think theres just something about him; hes just one of those guys where you cant put your finger on it. Hes got that, that it factor, that I cant miss a Finn Balor match.Houser:?Monday Night Raw, you were in the middle of delivering a promo -- what happened?Rollins: Uh, well, delivering a promo, talking directly to Finn Balor, calling out the Demon King, and all of a sudden to my left I see a young man slide into the ring with a hard hat on -- I had to give him a little push and make sure that he kept his distance and our security handled it. A guy whos not supposed to be in the ring, its not his domain. He was a stagehand helping out with us that day and, you know, felt that the time was right to get his 15 seconds or whatever he wanted to do in that moment.Obviously, if youre a fan and youre watching our show, please dont get in the ring. It really doesnt work out well for anybody. That guys probably going to see some jail time or some stiff consequences, and hes lucky that it ended up as peacefully as it did, to be honest with you. Really, dont try that when you come to the building. I urge it, it just doesnt work out well for you or for me. So, you know, lets just hope thats not a recurring theme.Houser: Youre performing at that moment -- what goes through your mind when you see a person who has nothing to do with the show confront you?Rollins: You just have to assess the situation quickly. Its live television. You know, obviously the promo becomes secondary. You have to make sure youre safe, that hes safe, or shes safe if its a woman that jumps in the ring, um, but you just got to make sure that everythings kosher, and then, you know, try to go on with the promo and match or the story or whatever youre trying to do there. So you just got to take a step back for a minute and make sure that everybodys cool.Houser: How do you continue on then?Rollins: You know, Im a professional. Ive been doing this for a long time, so for me it was kind of easy just to -- once I realized what was happening -- to kind of flip the switch and go back into promo mode. So it took us out of the moment for a second, but you flip the switch and youre right back in.Houser: Take me back to the injury -- what happened? What were you feeling?Rollins: Mostly uncertainty -- dread, if you will. Just feeling like I might have to vacate the title and kind of let the locker room down and take time off from a job that I love. It was a very strange feeling, you know. Ive never had an injury put me out like that before. So to just kind of -- it was almost like I was stepping outside myself watching and kind of almost emotionally distant from the whole thing. It was very, a very odd situation for me to be in.Houser: What does this match mean now that youre back and youll be able to perform at the level you had before?Rollins: I didnt wanna come back, you know, at 75 percent, I didnt want to come back even at 99 percent. I wanted to come back 100 percent, and I wanted the fans to get the full effect of Seth Rollins. For me, its going to feel almost like a cathartic experience in a way -- theres just a lot of intangibles. A lot of things go into it, and I think once we get closer -- Sunday afternoon, fans start to file in, you start to feel that energy and that heat and stuff like that, its really going to set in that, uh, that Im back.Air Max 97 Uomo Scontate . -- Washington Redskins tight end Fred Davis was charged Thursday with driving while intoxicated, a day after he was suspended for an NFL substance-abuse policy violation.

He had a little trouble doing both Saturday.Page (12-0) maintained his perfect pro record by defeating Fernando Gonzalez (25-14) via split decision. Two judges scored it for Page 29-28, while the other saw it completely different: 30-27 Gonzalez.It was an awkward fight; neither fighter seemed willing to really mix it up. Gonzalez stayed well on the outside in the first and second rounds before finally pressing the action in the third. Page also hung back, stringing together feints and dance moves from a distance.
