Former WWE Universal Champion Seth Rollins recently spoke with Yahoo Sports. During the interview, he talked about why he thinks it’s easy for fans to hate WWE.
This is where the top star on the red brand stated that he thinks WWE is like MLB’s New York Yankees and the NFL’s New England Patriots. This comes after he was asked about the belief that it’s “cool” for fans to hate WWE.
“We’re the New York Yankees. It’s easy to hate the New England Patriots. We’re those teams, we’re the dynasty. It’s easy to hate us, but we’re still the most popular company in the world at what we do,” Rollins said. “We’re so far beyond being a wrestling company that it’s very easy to point the finger and hate on us. That’s the cool thing to do, it makes perfect sense to me, it’s how it’s always been in sports and entertainment, you always hate the big guy. It’s fine, I’m not upset about it at all.
“I just want people to understand and appreciate the things we go through and the fact that we’re always trying to do our best. Nobody is taking it easy, nobody is just getting by. Everybody from top to bottom, every department in the entire company is putting in as much work as they possibly can to make this the best.”
The SummerSlam pay-per-view event takes place on Sunday, August 11, 2019 in Toronto, Ontario at the Scotiabank Arena. At this show, Rollins challenges Brock Lesnar for the Universal Title.
