Footage of Seth Rollins having a word with the production crew on WWE RAW after WrestleMania 39 went viral on social media.
The segment had Rollins come out to lead his fans in a chorus of his entrance song, but there was a sudden commercial break that caused The Visionary to reach out to the production workers at ringside. After a while, Rollins dropped the mic and left the ring.
During a recent edition of his Wrestling With Freddie podcast, former WWE writer Freddie Prinze Jr. and co-host Jeff Dye shared some details about the segment.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
Jeff Dye on what he heard during the segment: “They played a commercial during his intro, and then we could kind of hear him having a freak-out on some … production people. He was going ‘Why is there a commercial?!’ You couldn’t really hear what he was saying. You could just tell he was mad.”
Freddie Prinze on Rollins asking the crew what was going on and getting upset: “He said, ‘What the hell is going on?!’ I saw that coming out of his mouth. I think he was more pissed than pissed at them. I think he was pissed when he went backstage at whoever did that. But if I was him, I would’ve been just as angry, and I thought the way he dealt with it was so hardcore and awesome. Instead of cutting a promo, he just throws the mic out of the ring and walked out — and walked out of the friggin’ show.”
It should be noted that Fightful Select later claimed that Rollins’ segment had been planned the way it played out on television.
