While appearing on Outta Pocket with RGIII, Seth Rollins gave his thoughts on the situation with Charlotte Flair and WWE Women’s Champion Tiffany Stratton from a few weeks ago on SmackDown. Things went off the rails as unscripted shots were taken at each other.
The two stars are slated to meet for the Women’s Title at WrestleMania. Rollins thinks its the best thing that could’ve happened.
“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. And 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. So in my opinion what happened on, what it is 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.
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.”
