Seth Rollins has been quite vocal about his position in the company and defended the company publicly on many occasions. He has been surrounded in controversy owing to some of his remarks, particularly during his Twitter exchange with Will Ospreay and others.
Rollins spoke to TV Insider, where he talked about defending WWE against critics. It is only natural for him to defend the company as he is one of the company’s top stars and has been treated well. Here is what he said:
“I have always been proud to work for the company. I just think it got to where it became cool to criticize WWE because we are so big and popular. It just sucks that this is the society we live in now where it’s much easier to point out all the things you think is bad as opposed to pointing out all the awesome stuff that is going on in the world.
It just felt to me nobody was standing up for WWE when we have a lot to be proud of. If taking on a leadership role is what you want to call it, it’s certainly something where I stepped forward and put my foot down…The fact I had people from different departments shoot me texts to let me know they had my back because they felt I had their back. That was cool and validating. I felt really good I was representing many people who felt the way I felt.”
The landscape of wrestling will perhaps be changed forever as WWE will finally have some competition in the form of AEW and we can expect Seth Rollins to be on the frontlines of the battle line.
