Seth Rollins On Facing Samoa Joe Tonight (Video), Nia Jax Knocks Bayley, Fans On WWE Payback Matches
- Above is video of Seth Rollins backstage at tonight's WWE Payback pay-per-view in San Jose. Rollins talks about how he gets "the feels" when coming back to The Bay Area after his big WrestleMania win a few years ago. Regarding tonight's match with Samoa Joe, Rollins says tonight's match is a little more personal than the match they had in the past and he believes it will be a bitter war. Rollins expects Joe to go for his knee but he plans on kicking Joe's teeth down his throat, putting a knee in his face and calling it a night. Rollins thanks fans for their support and for having his back all these years.

One time I stood outside the @SAPCenter for 2 hours after the show and Matt Hardy threw up the ???sign out of his window. Night made.

The one and only time I sat front row at the @SAPCenter, Triple H and Shawn Michaels came fighting through the crowd. I touched their backs.
