Seth Rollins Thinks If Everybody Follows Logan Paul Wrestling Will Die
After the event, Rollins was asked a several number of times about his shocking elimination from the men’s Royal Rumble match, but the former four times WWE world champion decided to remain quiet about the incident and he focused on his upcoming United States championship match at the Elimination Chamber pay per view event.
But at the Elimination Chamber, once again Logan Paul cost Rollins his opportunity to win the United States Championship. This time Rollins went on to challenge Paul in a match and the duo finally went one on one at the grandest stage of them all, WrestleMania.
Seth Rollins who is also a former two times WWE United States champion recently spoke to the After The Bell podcast where he talked about his dislike for Logan Paul and explained how wrestling would die if everybody followed his model. He said;
“That’s not what it is. It is making the towns, having hundreds and thousands of matches in different cities in front of different sized crowds. It’s learning your trade. This idea that you can, poof, hop on a camera, film yourself, do some crap on social media to become a star and have some worth in the world, maybe I’m an old crotchety man, but I don’t understand what value you’re giving back to the world.
“In the Logan Paul situation, I don’t understand what long-term value he’s going to be able to give back to us. It’s one thing if you come in, do your thing, and leave, but this dude has a contract with WWE. He’s supposed to have a few matches a year.
“That doesn’t make you an ambassador for the business, that’s not what wrestling is. I don’t want my students, I don’t want the next generation coming up and thinking that’s how you make it in wrestling. If everybody follows that model, the business is dead.”
