You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On Seth Rollins not clicking during his work with Drew McIntyre: “When Seth is by himself now with Drew, or by himself doing a promo, it’s just not clicking. I don’t think that Seth is relatable.”
On the version of Seth Rollins that the fans want: “Once he gets away from that and he starts talking as Seth f***ing Rollins, and he gets in your face and he goes, ‘Screw you, we’re tired of you, the match is on,’ … the people are behind him. Last Friday night was very telling to me about which version of Seth [the fans] want. They want ‘Burn It Down’ Seth. They want the Shield version of Seth.”
At WrestleMania 40 (Night One), Rollins will team with Cody Rhodes against The Bloodline’s Roman Reigns and The Rock.
Rollins will then defend the WWE World Heavyweight Championship against Drew McIntyre at WrestleMania 40 (Night Two).
Seth Rollins’ Performance Critiqued Ahead of WrestleMania 40
In the world of professional wrestling, the Road to WrestleMania is an exciting time for both fans and performers alike. As the biggest event of the year approaches, the anticipation and speculation surrounding the matches and storylines reach a fever pitch. However, not all aspects of these build-ups are met with universal acclaim. Recently, WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray shared his thoughts on Seth Rollins’ work against Drew McIntyre on the Road to WrestleMania 40 during an episode of the “Busted Open Radio” podcast.
One of the main criticisms raised by Bully Ray was that Seth Rollins has not been able to connect with the audience during his feud with Drew McIntyre. According to Bully Ray, Rollins’ solo performances and promos have failed to resonate with fans, making it difficult for them to relate to him. This lack of connection could potentially hinder Rollins’ ability to generate the desired level of excitement and engagement from the audience.
However, Bully Ray also highlighted a version of Seth Rollins that he believes fans are eager to see. He mentioned that when Rollins embraces his “Burn It Down” persona and displays a more aggressive and confrontational attitude, fans rally behind him. This was evident during a recent Friday night event where Rollins exhibited this version of himself, and the crowd responded positively. Bully Ray suggests that this is the Seth Rollins that fans want to see – the one who exudes the same energy and intensity as his days with The Shield.
Looking ahead to WrestleMania 40, Seth Rollins has two significant matches lined up. On Night One, he will team up with Cody Rhodes to take on The Bloodline’s Roman Reigns and The Rock. This match promises to be a thrilling encounter, as it brings together four top-tier talents in a battle for supremacy. On Night Two, Rollins will defend his WWE World Heavyweight Championship against Drew McIntyre. This match carries immense stakes, as both competitors are highly skilled and determined to come out on top.
With these high-profile matches on the horizon, it remains to be seen how Seth Rollins will address the criticisms leveled against him. Will he find a way to connect with the audience and deliver performances that resonate with fans? Or will he continue to struggle in his solo endeavors? WrestleMania 40 will serve as a crucial platform for Rollins to prove his critics wrong and solidify his position as one of the top stars in WWE.
As the Road to WrestleMania progresses, fans will eagerly watch and analyze every move made by Seth Rollins. Whether he can tap into the version of himself that resonates with the audience or not, one thing is certain – the anticipation for his matches at WrestleMania 40 is at an all-time high.
