Jon Jones is the latest from the world of MMA rumoured to be considering a switch, while Ronda Rousey has reportedly been training to make her WWE debut.

But former world champion Rollins is adamant that the current roster is star-studded enough.

The 31-year-old said: “I think we have maybe the most talented roster of all time.

“I don’t think we need anybody to help or crossover.

“If they want to come over to our world and have some fun then that’s cool but we’re happy doing our thing on our own.”

Although Rollins has his reservations, the WWE have already worked with a number of big names in the past to help boost ratings.

And the annual event, which takes place in Brooklyn this Sunday, is one that holds many happy memories for the “The King Slayer”.

Rollins said: “SummerSlam was a big part of my childhood and there’ve been some legendary matches.

“I really liked it when Hulk Hogan and Ultimate Warrior teamed up against Slaughter and Adnan one year.

“I loved it when Liz and Savage got married too. Bulldog and Bret at Wembley, the TLC match between The Hardyz, Dudleys, Edge & Christian; there’s a tonne of memories.”
