Seth Rollins Says Working With Vince McMahon Was A ‘Doubled-Edged Sword’

Seth Rollins’ honed his craft in promotions such as Ring Of Honor before he debuted in WWE. Rollins has worked hard to become one of the mainstays of the company and no one can deny that fact. He also opened up about working with Vince McMahon.

Vince McMahon ruled over WWE with an iron fist for decades but had to retire after a slew of sexual misconduct allegations and hush money scandals forced him to step down.  

While speaking on Ryan Satin’s Out of Character podcast, Seth Rollins talked about his experience working under Vince McMahon. The Visionary stated that it was a double-edged sword.

“With Vince, it was like kind of a double-edged sword. On one hand you knew exactly who to go to all the time. Every answer needed to go through Vince. That was security in that. If you needed something and you needed an answer, pronto. He was right there.” said Seth Rollins, “You knew exactly that if you got yes from him, nothing else beneath that mattered. So that was really cool.

You could understand his vision, once you worked with him for a long enough time. You started to understand that. On the other side of that, he was very flippant. He was very all over the place. That was to his credit, part of his genius but it was also like very stressful to deal with as a talent.”

Seth Rollins also managed to defeat Matt Riddle at WWE Clash At The Castle. We will have to wait and see whether they will continue their feud, as it seems likely it isn’t over just yet.
