Seth Rollins took to Instagram Live late Wednesday afternoon to react to the dozens of wrestlers, trainers, backstage producers, referees and writeres who were either fired or furloughed by the WWE on Wednesday. Overall Rollins clearly meant well with his comments, saying that he hopes everyone can come together as people try to get through this coronavirus pandemic and all the damage it has caused. However his comments about fans being negative towards WWE for making these cuts was met with plenty of backlash, so much so that Rollins had to go on Twitter and start defending himself.

Where do you stand on the debate? Check out some of Wrestling Twitter’s reaction in the list below and let us know what you think down in the comments.
A Lot of the Reaction
Honestly, in these chaotic times full of uncertainty, Seth Rollins saying something stupid defending the WWE company line is comforting in its predictability.

Fighting Back
Not the day for talking about supporting each other rather dragging each other? I get being frustrated, but youโre name calling for me trying to support my friends and the business we all love. I canโt even understand this hate right now. Itโs truly painful.

Part 2
โUSโ isnโt just meant be to WWE talent. โUSโ is the entire pro wrestling community, which I hope includes you. I love my colleagues and have always had their backs in every single company Iโve ever worked for. We as a community need to support each other, not drag each other.

To Put It Another Way
Thanks Alex. I very much understand where all the anger & frustration is stemming from & thatโs okay. This is an emotional day for all of us & some folks need to vent. For me, itโs been a lot of sadness & contemplation & a desire to unify & rally behind an industry I love. https://t.co/EP8R2w144G

Innocent
Seth Rollins literally said nothing wrong. Y’all are just taking his words out of context. He already said he was struggling to find the right words to say about the situation.

There’s enough negativity going on around the world already. No need for more.
Facts
Wasting energy attacking Seth Rollins and finding negativity in something he meant to be words of support is the last thing that needs to be done today.

Can You Prove Them Wrong?
Yโall are so mean. Seth Rollins is hurting just as much as we are to see some of the wrestlers we love go. Yโall hate Seth just because it gets likes to do so. pic.twitter.com/chqCvF7KMD
