Seth Rollins has revealed his stand on the Charlotte Flair and Tiffany Stratton situation.
The two female stars who are set to compete at WrestleMania 41 have been in news recently but for the wrong reasons. The two WWE stars have gathered real life heat after going off script and taking personal shots at each other during promos building up to their upcoming title match.
The Architect was asked about his opinion on the whole situation during his recent appearance on Outta Pocket podcast. Seth Rollins mentioned how he has worked with plenty of people he didn’t like during his career, but explained that you have to have thick skin in the wrestling business:
“Gosh, that’s a tough one cause I do have some opinions about it but there’s sort of…how do I say this? I think no matter what, it’s a collaboration in my opinion. It should always be a collaboration.
Look I’ve been out there in the ring with people who I didn’t like. You’ve worked with I’m sure plenty of people that you did not like. But there is a certain respect that you share and a communication that should happen and an understanding. One of my favorite people in the world is John Cena.
John always told me whenever we would cut a promo together ‘You say whatever you want out there. We’re on TV. It’s fair game. Anything you want. My skin is thick.’ In our industry, you have to be able to do that. You have to be able to have a thick skin because, we are in the conflict business, and the best conflict that we can sell is real-life conflict. Because our audience is so smart, they can sniff things out from a mile away.”
We’re Talking About It Now: Seth Rollins
Seth Rollins then made an interesting assessment saying that the real-life conflict is a good thing. According to him, it has actually helped the story as people are talking more about it now than they were before:
“So in my opinion what happened on, what it [was] last Friday, I guess it would be, was the best thing that could have happened for their story. Because we’re on this podcast talking about it right now. Had it not happened, we wouldn’t even be thinking about it at all.
So in my opinion, the direction it went it’s going to help bolster their match leading into WrestleMania. Now, can we get both of them to come together and work together? TBD. We’ll see. I don’t know.
They’ve got a show. We’ll see what happens. Like I said, I’ve been in the ring with people and I’ve been in promos with people that I didn’t like but there’s always an understanding of what lines to cross. Look if you’re gonna break that agreement, then you need to be prepared for what comes back at you. I’ll just leave it at that.”
