Seth Rollins Apologizes: WWE Universal Champion apologizes for his Garbage tweets and promises that he can and will do better.
Seth Rollins has long been regarded as one of the most talented wrestlers to ever grace a WWE ring. The architect received validation from his company as they handed him their coveted Universal Championship at Wrestlemania.

Rollins has since considered himself to be a leader of sorts in the company and took it upon himself to defend the company from the widespread criticism it had received recently.
Best pro wrestling on the planet. Period. https://t.co/Frd8occDhd

The Universal champion took to twitter to claim that WWE was the best pro-wrestling company in the world. His claims were met with ridicule and Rollins did not take kindly to it. He began criticising everyone that did not agree with him and asked them to name any wrestler who did what he did, at his level and as often as he did.
Doubling down. Best pro wrestling on the planet. See that Cruiserweight Triple Threat? And that’s just one night, one match amongst the many. Find anyone else alive who does what I do as well as I do it as often as I do it. Ya can’t. #WWEStompingGrounds #UniversalChampion @WWE

Will Ospreay, NJPW Junior Heavyweight champion, nominated himself. However, Rollins talked him down and said Ricochet was a better version of him. The two had a back and forth before Seth pulled up bank accounts.

Rollins’ stubbornness to admit that this argument was unnecessary caused a lot of fans to turn sour on him. No one argued that WWE wrestlers aren’t talented. The criticism stems from the improper use of talent and bad booking. An aspect of the criticism Rollins never touched.
Nah dawg, let me dial it up. I’ve sat back and watched idiots with no clue talk poorly about the place I dedicate my life to EVERY HOUR OF EVERY DAY. The level I perform at on constant is untouchable. Time to let em know. https://t.co/9wISLrevCr

Seth Rollins apologizes
However, Rollins has now taken to twitter and apologized for his garbage tweets. He admitted that his tweet about comparing bank accounts was dumb and unbecoming of his values. He still remained firm in his sentiments over WWE being the best pro-wrestling in the planet and claimed to be proud to be a champion with the company. Rollins then promised that there would be no more garbage tweets from his side.
After a few days to sit on it, I’d like to apologize to @WillOspreay for the tweet I sent his way about comparing bank accounts. It was dumb of me & not in line with my values. The moment I pressed the send button I knew it was trash, but I’m too stubborn for my own good.

I stand firm in my sentiments that @WWE is the best pro wrestling on the planet and that I’m the best of the best doing it right now. After a helluva week of travel, our crew didn’t waver for a second. Top level humans busting their asses for the love of the game.

I couldn’t be more proud to be a champion with this company and represent @WWE and the entire industry in the way it deserves. No more garbage tweets. I can and will be better.

Will Ospreay accepted the apology in his tweet and jokingly asked him to buy him a Nando’s.

During his WWE white knighting, Rollins even bashed Ambrose saying:
“I think it’s a little presumptuous of him to talk down the company that gave him many opportunities. I don’t think there’s any reason to hop on a soapbox and complain.”
Dave Meltzer even suggested that Seth Rollins was operating as Vince McMahon’s mouth piece. Rollins’ take on Moxley was starkly different from Roman Reigns’ response on their former Shield brother.
The Big Dog had said: “I don’t think our working relationship is going to be what it used to be, but I’ll always have love for that guy, he’ll always be my close friend, and I wish the best for him.
We have a brotherhood, so I’m always cheering for him. I’ve shared so many great moments with Ambrose, or Mox. We have love for each other well beyond the wrestling, and it will always be that way.”
It is no wonder that Roman is seen as the leader backstage. Rollins while still a likable character, needs to learn not to let his emotions get the better of him in the future.
