Summary

Seth Rollins says Tom Brady would be his pick if he ever had to survive while stranded in the desert, praising the former NFL quarterback for his preparation and perfectionism before turning the answer into a joke about Brady's "lean meat."

Rollins made the comments during an appearance on *Good Morning Football* when he was asked which NFL player he would want beside him in that situation. The answer also continued Rollins' recent habit of bringing Brady into the conversation as he heads toward WrestleMania 42, where he is set to face Gunther. That WrestleMania build has already been heating up on WWE television, including Gunther's recent confrontation with Rollins on Raw.

Quote from Seth Rollins

"I need somebody who is locked in. I need somebody who is going to be well-prepared for something like this. I need somebody who is a perfectionist. I can't be living in the desert. I can't be out there surviving, trying to find lizards and stuff to eat. I need somebody to lock in with me to get out of there. I'm going with TB12. That's right, I'm going with Tom Brady. That's who I want on my squad. He's going to have a plan. He's going to execute. He's not going to take no or anything less than greatness. We are going to get out of that desert one way or another. If everything goes badly and it gets bad, this is the healthiest man on the planet. If I have to eat him, I have to eat him. He has lean meat for me to survive on. I know I'll be healthy. He ain't gonna eat me. I ain't afraid of Tom Brady. I already said that many times. We know who is going to win between Seth Rollins and Tom Brady. In this instance, I want him on my side. Together, two great minds, we get ourselves out of the desert."

What This Means For Seth Rollins Before WrestleMania 42

Rollins did not add anything new to his WrestleMania 42 match with Gunther here, but the comment fits the same larger pattern. He keeps folding Tom Brady into his media appearances, which gives WWE another mainstream talking point around Rollins while his WrestleMania program stays in focus.

It also keeps Rollins positioned as one of the more comfortable crossover personalities on the WWE roster. Even in a light interview segment, he used the question to reinforce the same swagger he has brought into the Gunther feud.
