The current WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins and the former six times WWE Women’s champion Becky Lynch is one of the real life couples of WWE right now. Both of them are top stars of WWE and they achieved a lot of success in the promotion, including winning multiple world championship and headlining WrestleMania.
But not everybody remembers that WWE attempted to use them as an on screen pair in 2019. They even work in multiple mixed Tag Team matches. However, we are on screen pair did not work out very well. The current World Heavyweight Champion recently explained why this pairing failed. Speaking with CBS Sports he explained;
From Missed Opportunities to Future Prospects: Seth Rollins’ Thoughts on Working with Becky Lynch Again
When we do it, it’s one of those things where we tried it four years ago, our characters were in totally different places at the time. Our mindsets just as human beings were in totally different places at the time. I was struggling, I didn’t know who I was on-screen, off-screen. I was going through a lot of self-doubt and depression. So for me, I was just kind of letting it all fly, hoping something would stick, hoping I could catch onto something, and I thought it would be good for all people involved.
“For her, her character was in a different place, she was in a different stratosphere, and it was hard for her to manage what her character was on-screen as ‘The Man,’ as this female badass, ‘Stone Cold’ Steve Austin-type character, and then on the flip side of that, having a husband and a love interest and all that. So that was hard for her to put together on-screen. For me, I’m always like, ‘Let’s go with the flow.’
Becky Lynch And Seth Rollins Worked As A Team In 2019
“I’m not quite as protective as she is in that regard, probably to my own detriment in some cases. But yeah, it’s one of those things where, when you take your relationship and you turn it into a story, it becomes difficult because it’s hard for our audience occasionally to separate fiction from reality.
“At the same time, our business is built on blending fiction and reality. So those diametric forces that are sort of pulling and pushing all the time can create a bit of a struggle. So we weren’t ready for it, it didn’t flesh out, our characters weren’t in the right place, our heads weren’t in the right place, our heads weren’t in the right place.
“If we did it now or in the future, it might be different. But I’m also fortunate that it’s not a thing that we need to go to. We’re both just very strong individual characters and can carry stories individually on our own, which is lovely. So if we go there again, I’d love to give it a second shot. I think there’s a lot to it. But if we don’t, we tried it, it didn’t work, and we’re still very happily married, so that’s good.”
After this failure they never worked as a team, however, they are real life relationship was never hidden from the audience and they keep on mentioning each other. Both of them are doing very great on their own divisions. In spite, there are really least chances of seeing them working together again, but we would love to see it happening again.
