One of the key matches of WrestleMania 41 was the WWE Women’s Championship match between the champion, Tiffany Stratton and the challenger, Charlotte Flair. Things between the two stars got very heated and personal during a promo on SmackDown a couple of weeks ago when Stratton brought up Flair’s failed marriages in a promo. It was reported that The Queen went off-script first and Stratton had retaliated. Former WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins recently shared his thoughts on the whole situation.
While speaking on Outta Pocket with RGIII, Seth Rollins shared that as a WWE Superstar, the best thing to sell to the fans is real-life conflict. But at the same time, it is important to be thick-skinned in this business.
“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. 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,” Seth Rollins said. [H/T SEScoops]
