Seth Rollins Reveals Match That Made Him Want To Strangle Vince McMahon

Seth Rollins has been one of WWE’s top stars for years now, and he’s been involved in some big matches throughout the course of his career. In 2019 Seth Rollins defended the Universal Championship against The Fiend in a Hell in a Cell match, and the match ended up getting stopped after the referee called for the bell.

The match was not well received by wrestling fans and some people even went on to call it the worst match of 2019. Seth Rollins recently discussed the match with Steve Austin on Broken Skull Sessions and he noted that originally his vision for the match was very different, but he and Bray Wyatt did what they were told to do. However, things got tense backstage when Rollins came face to face with Vince McMahon after the match.

“I put a positive spin on it now that I can look back at it a year and a half later, but at the time — I came through that curtain and I was ready to strangle Vince McMahon. I’m not kidding you. I’m not kidding you, TJ Willson was there to hold me back. I stared right into Vince’s eyes — you know where he sits in that chair over there [in Gorilla] — I look at him, he looked at me, we didn’t say a single word to each other and he walked out.

“I sat there with Paul Heyman — and also, he was Creative Director at the time of RAW — so I sat down there with him and we had a conversation. He was ‘Paul Heyman’ing’ me, if you will. Then, the next day I went into Vince’s office — much calmer — and I said, ‘Let’s talk about this. We need to figure out what we’re doing here, because that can’t happen again.’ It was civil, but it took me a night [to calm down], but I was ready to go. Man, if somebody wasn’t there making sure I was okay — my temper, I mean, the adrenaline. In my head, if you go back to that match, I’m convinced if it would have went our way, this wouldn’t be on that [worst matches] list.”
