Seth Rollins Passionately Defends WWE in Twitter Campaign

After months of seeing fans and fellow wrestlers take shots at WWE in interviews and on social media, Seth Rollins decided to start punching back on Twitter this weekend.

The Universal Champion’s crusade to defend the WWE kicked off on Saturday night when he retweeted a post from WWE’s main Twitter account promoting Sunday’s Stomping Grounds pay-per-view, writing “Best pro wrestling on the planet. Period.”

The show had been critically panned leading up to Sunday night given how many rematches littered the card. But Rollins doubled down after the triple threat Cruiserweight Championship match on the kickoff show between Tony Nese, Drew Gulak and Akira Tozawa.

“See that Cruiserweight Triple Threat? And that’s just one night, one match amongst the many,” Rollins wrote. “Find anyone else alive who does what I do as well as I do it as often as I do it. Ya can’t.”

And once the critics started to disagree, Rollins stayed on the offensive.

One fan responded with “Seth, I love ya but seriously dude.. dial it down a notch.” Rollins refused.

Will Ospreay, reigning IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion in New Japan and considered by many to be the best high-flyer in the world, even got in on the action.

“I’m alive,” Ospreay wrote in response to Rollins’ tweet about the Cruiserweights.

“Ahhhh I’m sorry little guy,” Rollins wrote. “We already have a better version of you here and he just won his first US Title tonight (Congrats @KingRicochet). Keep working hard though buddy!”

Ironically, one of WWE’s most vocal critics in recent months was Rollins’ former Shield brother, Jon Moxley (formerly known as Dean Ambrose). In his viral interview with Chris Jericho shortly after making his AEW debut, Moxley spoke about his frustrations with the WWE’s creative process.

“If I have something to prove, it’s that I want to prove that your creative process, the WWE’s creative process, sucks,” Moxley said. “It does not work. It’s absolutely terrible. And I’ve said that to Vince. I’ve said that to Hunter. I’ve said that to Michael Hayes. I can’t even tell you how their system works.”

“It’s killing the company, I think,” he added. “And I think Vince is the problem.”
