Seth Rollins was recently a guest on the After The Bell podcast hosted by Corey Graves. During the podcast, Rollins was asked about fans seemingly turning on him lately, with his match against Bray Wyatt at Hell in a Cell being referenced.
Rollins opened up about his crowd reaction and how it is a tough pill to swallow.
Here is what he said (h/t to Wrestlezone for the quotes below):
“The funny thing is you said all the way back to Tyler Black but you can go back, shoot, six months, you could go back a year, a year ago from Hell In A Cell, you know what I mean, I was everybody’s favorite. Those same people that are panning Hell In A Cell and talking about how Seth Rollins is not cool are the same people that are clamoring for me to be the guy to face Brock Lesnar going into WrestleMania so I don’t know what changed except for the fact that I became the person that they wanted me to be and then they hated me for it.
“It’s a very fickle audience, it is what it is but to answer your question directly, it feels awful, you know? It’s not a good feeling to go out there and put your body on the line and not just at Hell In A Cell but every single night for the past however many years that I’ve been doing it. I go out and compete at an extremely high level and dare I say I’m one of the very best at my job and I do what I have to do when I have to do it and it’s not always pretty, but you go out there and you do your job and you do it well and people don’t like it and then they kinda, they forget that it is what it is and so it hurts your feelings. You’re a human being, you go out there and you work hard and it’s fine. Art, you can have your opinion on it, but man, it’s a tough pill to swallow sometimes.”
