Seth Rollins received some negative feedback over his recent video statement in regards to WWE stars being released. One line in particular from Rollins drew some criticism:
“If we start fighting amongst ourselves, it’s only going to make things worse. So I encourage everybody to come together on this, unify and lift each other up.”
Honestly, in these chaotic times full of uncertainty, Seth Rollins saying something stupid defending the WWE company line is comforting in its predictability.

Rollins clarified what he meant by his comments:
Thanks Alex. I very much understand where all the anger & frustration is stemming from & that’s okay. This is an emotional day for all of us & some folks need to vent. For me, it’s been a lot of sadness & contemplation & a desire to unify & rally behind an industry I love. https://t.co/EP8R2w144G

I very much mean an industry, David. I came from nothing. I have friends and students at every level and they’ve all been decimated by this pandemic. As the shutdown took hold of my WWE family yesterday, I felt a deep sadness. I want us all to lift each other up. https://t.co/POiRMeW12t
