Former Universal Champion Seth Rollins recently sat down with TampaBay.com to discuss a wide array of topics, including his real-life romance with
RAW Women's Champion Becky Lynch. Rollins was asked about some of the criticism they've faced for bringing that to television and claims that they don't have any chemistry on screen.
"It’s great. We spend all of our time together anyway," he said regarding what it's been like to work together. "So might as well add the on screen stuff to it as well. She’s awesome, she’s super talented, one of the first women to main event WrestleMania beating Ronda Rousey and Charlotte Flair this past year. I learn a lot from her being in the ring and watching her cut promos."
"She’s very inspiring as far as that’s concerned. Just from a performer’s perspective, I get a lot out being near her on screen and off screen I get a lot as well, so it works out in both places."
“I think those critics might be a little jealous," he continued. "I think that’s where a lot of that stems from. I mean, if I’m a dude and I’m watching television, and I have a crush on Becky Lynch, I’m probably not going to be to fond of the guy who’s dating her either so I get that. We have such great chemistry I think it’s funny that people think we don’t. Either way it amuses me.”
It's a valid point and easy enough to see where Rollins is coming from. However, WWE has clearly moved on from their partnership after Extreme Rules so perhaps it didn't really work for them either.
