Seth Rollins sends šøa heated message to Logan Paul.
Paul first started appearing in WWE on the road to WrestleMania 37 in 2021. He returned the following year and made his in-ring debut at WrestleManiā±a 38, where he and The Miz defeated Rey and Dominik Mysterio. Paul then signed with WWE and defeated The Miz in his first singles match at SummerSlam 2022. He headlined WWE Crown Jewel 2022, where he unsuccessfully challenged Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship. During the match, he suffered a torn MCL that sidelined him for several weeks.
At WWE Royal Rumble 2023, Paul returned to WWE and eliminated Rollins from the battle royal. The two stars have been at odds ever since. Rollins previously shared his thoughts on Paul; Seth stated that he's only in it forā¤ himself, and he's not ā±a wrestler.
Speaking on , Paul came up in the conversation. McAfee praised (and enthusiastically mimicked) Paul's memorable frog splash at WWE Crown Jewel 2022, where he recorded himself as he flew through the air. Rollins fired back by saying that he doesn't need a selfie to make himself look good. He then shared his belief thšat Paul only cares about himself.
āSo all of us who have come off the top rope before, itās not as special because we just didnāt have a camera pointed at our own stupid face? We have people whose job it is to shoot us. I donāt need a selfie to make myself look good. The guy doesnāt care about nothing but himself. I can respect the hustle. I respect the hustle, I really do. It takes hustle to get where heās at and to get the opportunities that heās got. But at the end of the day, itās about passion. No oneās just gonna shut up and play NFL football because theyāre a social media superstar. Theyāre gonna get creamed. So heās gonna step into my world, and heās gonna get creamed. If you want to contribute and you want to give back to our industry, youāre a fan of it, youāre a fan of it, you love it, right, Pat? Youāre a fan of it. You love it, you give back to it, you talk about it any chance you get, you put it over. You love it. Thatās not him. Heās in it for himself. Heās in it for himself, heās in it for his own game," Rollins said.
Rollins continued by making it clear that he doesn't want someone who only leaches off of the business to be a part of it. He stated that he'd have no problem with anyone who came in and tried to help, but he repeated that Paul is in it for himself. Rollins then bluntly noted that he doesn't like Pāaul. He pointed out that Paul talks trash, but he won't say anything to his face.
"I donāt want you [to be] part of my business if youāre just gonna leach off of it and youāre gonna take from it. Great, if youāre gonna come and youāre gonna help out and youāre gonna make everything as good as you can. But if youāre gonna come and youāre gonna do it for youā¦ look, I can only judge based on what heās done in the past, his own history, because thatās a foretelling for the future, thatās why I donāt like the guy. Thatās why I donāt dig the guy. Heās gonna go rub it in on social media. Heās gonna talk his talk, but he [doesnāt] want to say nothing to my face," Rollins said.
McAfee disagreed and pointed out that Paul fought Floyd Mayweather. Rollins poked fun at the fighš¼t between the two and stated that while some peoplź¦e might love "The Maverick," Paul isn't his cup of tea. Rollins made it clear that if Paul has an issue with him, he's an easy man to find, as he's at Raw for work every Monday.
āRight, āfoughtā Floyd Mayweather, right. You can love him all you want. Heās polarizing, but heās not for me. Heās not my cup of tea. If he wants to say something to my face, then we can talk about. We can talk about it if he wants to do that. Iām an easy guy to find. You know where to find me every Monday night. I show up, I go to work, I put in the time, I respect the business, I respect that we have to do a day-to-day grind. You know where to find me. Logan Paul, I donāt know where to find [him]. I can fly down to Puerto Rico and try to find him. I think thatās where he lives or something like that," Rollins said.
The Mizš, another star who crossed over into WWE after first rising to prominence outside of the wrestling world, came up in the conversation. Rollins compared The Miz to McAfee. He emphasized that they were both fans who put in the work and the effort. On the other hand, he stated that he has yet to see Paul do the same.
"You and Logan Paul have the little parallel career situation going on here. But like I said, thereās a difference. You brought up The Miz. The Miz is someone who came from reality TV over to WWE. But you guys, you and Mike are fans of WWE. You love it, you put in the time, you put in the work, you put in the effort. I have yet to see that from this kid," he said.
