Seth was riding in one of the cars that carried his family, with him is his parents Hunter and Stephanie, and his brother Randy. In the other car, it was his brother Baron and their three sisters Alexa, Sonya, and Ruby. They were on their way to an important meeting held by Vince McMahon, their grandfather who happens to have control over the Reigns family. Said family was also going to be there, but only because of Vince making the meeting mandatory. For years, a turf war between the families has been going on, with each family trying to either kill each other, or one-up the other family just to prove and assert their dominance. Anyone associated with either family was taught to kill the rival family, and if you were found to be linked to the other family, you would be killed. Anyway, back to the meeting, it wasn't really a meeting so to speak, it was more like the heads of the two families meet in a conference room, and brag about their accomplishments. It wasn't long until the family arrived at Vince's mansion, where the meeting would be held. When they arrive at the mansion, the entire family found Sika and Lisa were waiting for Hunter and Stephanie, who got out of the car to join them. That left the children to go be "civil and social" while they were gone. After about thirty minutes of being there, Seth walked away from the rest of the people there because he was thirsty and wanted to be by himself for a bit. When he walked into the kitchen he was met by Vince's servants, who offered him a drink, but instead of taking the champagne that they were offering he opted on beer and took one from the fridge. Seth took the beer and waited for the servants to leave the kitchen. When they did Seth took the beer to the counter and jammed the nose of the bottle against the hard counter top to open his beer. He was lost in his own random thoughts until he heard a voice behind him say, "I didn't peg you to be a beer drinker."
Seth rolled his eyes, hating that the silence and alone time got interrupted, he placed his beer down on the counter then turned around. Behind him he saw Roman Reigns, one of Sika's sons, he has had more problems with his brother Randy than anyone else in his family. Seth immediately became hostile, "What's that supposed to mean?" Seth questioned.
"Nothing, it's just that you don't have the body type of someone who drinks beer," Roman responded to the shorter man.
"Well, I workout a lot. That's why I don't have a beer belly, and I'm not pudgy like your family" Seth retorted.
Roman chuckled then smirked at the smaller man, "You've got quite the mouth on you, don't you?"
"What's that supposed to mean?" Seth snapped.
"It means your a smart ass, you've done nothing but snap at me, when this whole time I've been trying to have a normal conversation with you," Roman said.
"Well, Roman if you want to know so badly why I am talking to you the way I am, it's because your the enemy," Seth told him.
"You Hemsley's are always the same. Jumping to conclusions and getting hostile every time someone is around. Yeah, I am Sika's son, but I don't act like him. The only real problems I have is with your brother Randy, so don't worry I'm not gonna try to put my hands on you, you are the golden boy of your family anyway," Roman said.
That made Seth go quiet, he hated being called the golden boy, even though he knew he was. Seth honestly had no idea what to say to that.
"It's Rollins," Seth said in a hushed voice.
"What was that?"
"It's Rollins, Seth Rollins," Seth repeated.
"Why is it, Rollins?" Roman asked.
Seth groaned and ran his hand through his hair, "So that no one can associate me with the McMahon's even though I am because every time someone finds out I'm the youngest son they assumed I'm privileged. They assume I'm the golden boy, just like you did. I hate being a part of this family, I hate being referred to as the golden boy, and I hate being a part of this feud. I wish I had a normal family and a normal life.
That made Roman feel bad, he didn't know that, and by the look in Seth's eyes, he could tell he meant every word of it. "I didn't know I'm sorry."
Seth scoffed, "Yeah I know you are, everyone is."
With that Seth walked out of the kitchen, not wanting to be around anyone right now. His mood now sour, and all he wanted to do now was go home and be alone. That's what he wanted, thankfully as soon as he left the kitchen the meeting ended and he couldn't have been
