If Seth Rollins' recent remarks on social media hadn't already made it clear, he's a WWE man through and through. Now, despite reportedly being close friends with the man once known as Dean Ambrose, the current Universal Champion has made it clear that he doesn't agree with his recent remarks on Chris Jericho's
Talk is Jericho podcast.
"Ambrose can do what he wants. He's a big boy, he's got his big boy pants on. He can go out there and say whatever he wants, but the bottom line is not everybody's equipped to handle the rigors of WWE and the schedule and how it affects you mentally and emotionally. And Ambrose gave everything he had to the company for the entire time he was here. He put his heart and soul into the travel, into the schedule, into the injuries, into the work in the ring and all that stuff. But at the end of the day, he took his ball and he went home, or he went elsewhere at least. And I think it's a little presumptuous of him to get on a podcast and talk down about the company that gave him such an opportunity."
It's strange to see Rollins talk about Jon Moxley like this and it definitely seems like he's alluding to his former Shield brother simply not being good enough to make it in WWE by alluding to him not being able to handle the travel and creative issues he touched on in that interview. Are we sure these comments weren't scripted for him by Vince McMahon?
Either way, Rollins went on to say that whole he still loves Moxley, they have very different outlooks and he's not a fan of the disparaging remarks he's made about WWE since leaving the company.
"And like I said, I love the guy. I love him, I'll always love him, but at the end of the day, we just share different perspectives about what we want out of life and about where we're at in our own lives. I hope that he does well. I've kept enough tabs on him to know that he's doing super well for himself right now and I'm happy for that, but I just don't think there's any reason to hop on a soapbox and complain after the fact. You need to take the first step, and that's looking in the mirror and asking yourself did you do every single thing you possibly could to make yourself and your situation what you want it to be, and if the answer is yes you did, then you can go elsewhere and complain. If that's where he's at mentally then go right ahead, but if he hasn't done that, he hasn't looked in the mirror and made that decision, then maybe he should think about that. That goes for any other disgruntled talent past or present."
Ouch.
Well, at least we now know where Rollins' loyalties lie and it's not with Moxley. Let us know your thoughts on that in the comments section and stay tuned for more from the Universal Champion.
