Sure he was never advertised for the mania main event, but HE f***ING CASHED MITB and walked out the champ in a much better ending than the Miz (although winning) still getting Rock bottomed to close the show.

Yea, it is a narrative you have to buy into with a technicality
He by virtue of cashing in did main event the match but wasn't advertised. However, all it is, is to throw something in Rollins way since he has accomplished so much
His "mania moment" is one of the top in history but as a character he can't live on that moment in the past

It’s a weird thing to get worked up over, it’s like the storyline version of Punk being mad he didn’t headline a wrestlemania even though he had a much bigger moment at MITB

It doesn't really matter cause they have the ring and same applies to Seth as far as winning the championship and he can point to his moment being bigger than anything BUT you need something to get under his skin since he has done so much in WWE

As of right now Rollins should win Royal Rumble 2024 and finally main event Wrestlemania 40.

Sorry, I read the title and took it as meaning "Miz says that HE himself didn't main event WM". I know he got concussed to f*** in that match, but he still did do it.

Seth closed the show and got to be in the main event, yes. So if that’s how you wanna define “headlining” then sure.
But if you define “headlining” as being promoted as being in the top match then no, he definitely did not headline a WM. I think that’s a big difference.

He's a wrestling heel being a dick, he's deliberately being unfair and obtuse.

Inserting yourself in a match is vastly different from organically being in it and everything that comes with that so I've never really questioned his claims about it. I hope he succeeds at it eventually.

It’s a weird thing to get worked up over, it’s like the storyline version of Punk being mad he didn’t headline a wrestlemania even though he had a much bigger moment at MITB MITB has created a weird scenario where a dude can enter a match midway through and win it when he wasn't in it to begin with. Thus, Seth Rollins didn't main event Wrestlemania, but he was still able to win the main event of Wrestlemania. As for why that matters to him...people sometimes have specific dreams, y'know? Like, Cody Rhodes has won the ROH and NWA World Titles, and he's held those with pride...but his dream is to win the WWE Championship, which alluded his dad his entire career. Dusty held the NWA title and ROH didn't exist when he was an active wrestler (the one bunkhouse match Dusty competed in aside). So that means more to Cody. Seth's dream isn't just to be in the main event of Wrestlemania (even if that meant he won the match), he wants to actually be one of the headliners of the show. That's how I'm taking all this, anyway.

I consider it a boon to not have 'main-evented' Wrestlemania in the 7-hour stadium era. I've actually still been awake for Seth's matches unlike most pre-two night WMs.

I think it goes back to the old way of payoffs, where the people who headline a show typically get the most money.

Come to think of it I wonder if that segment was setting up Seth / Logan Paul as the main event of night one.
... If so I think that's a night I'll be tuning out early.

Of course, the counter to comparing Seth's situation is he changed an existing match into a triple-threat, rather than cashing in after. Still, I would say he main-evented, but did not headline, as he was not promoted going into the show as being part of the main event.

Yokozuna as the main event, as it was billed that way and was the last "planned" match of the evening. It's a similar scenario to Rollins, except Hogan was challenged impromptu after the match rather than inserting himself. I feel similarly about the Drew McIntyre/Brock Lesnar match from Mania 36, even though the next night on Raw they showed Drew answering a challenge from the Big Show that apparently happened briefly afterwards. The only one I'm not sure how I feel about is the Stone Cold/Kevin Owens match from last year, since that was billed as a KO Show segment that became a challenge and match. But I guess that's a main event, too, since I can't see a talk show segment main eventing the show...even if it is night one of a now two-night event. *shrug*
