Seth Rollins and Logan Paul share a bitter-sweet relationship. The 37-year-old wrestler fought Paul at WrestleMania this year. Though he overcame the challenge, The Maverick tried to sneak a win against him by colluding with his close friend and business partner, KSI. Before the match, Rollins fired salvos at Paul and snubbed him as an individual who fails to add value to the WWE.

Recently, The Monday Night Messiah sat for a tasting session, where he was offered Paul’s co-owned PRIME. The energy drink has gone global after witnessing success in its home turf of the USA and Canada. But Rollins didn’t want to buy into the hype initially.

On June 27, Paul and KSI reached Copenhagen as part of their European tour to promote PRIME. The crowd turned hostile toward the duo and pelted them with bottles. Soon, videos of the incident flooded the web.

Rollins’ tasting session and criticism came on the heels of the pelting in Denmark. He was given a bottle of ‘Dandelion and Burdock’ and ‘PRIME’ as his subjects. Just after the unveiling, he picked up the bottle of PRIME and said, “First of all, screw this c**p right here. I can’t endorse anything Logan Paul related or KSI related.” This is Rollins’ usual behavior towards Paul, as he likes to rib the 28-year-old. 

The current WWE World Heavyweight Champion then tasted the other beverage and gave his approval. Next, he reluctantly picked up the PRIME and narrated their encounter at ‘The Grandest Stage of Them All’ in April. But to his surprise, the taste of PRIME resonated with him. “Oh yeah, that’s good. S**t,” Rollins said while mocking disappointment that the drink he loathed caught him off guard.

“God, I hate it. I hate it. I hate the way it makes me feel inside. But it’s just, it’s good. It’s a good drink. D**n it. Yeah, point to the PRIME. You owe me, Logan,” he said.

And if you have followed Seth Rollins closely, you would know that he also has a soft spot for Logan Paul and his wrestling abilities, despite the latter being a newcomer to the pro wrestling business.

Paul is a hard-working cat, says Seth Rollins

WWE wrestlers often need to stick to their gimmick even outside the ring to render their character credibility. Seth Rollins is a master of it. As mentioned above, he fought Paul at WrestleMania 39, so prior interview appearances had Rollins lambasting Paul and his WWE contract.

For the unversed, Logan Paul wrestlers in only a handful of matches each year. He is next scheduled to appear at WWE Money In The Bank’s men’s ladder match. The PLE will take place at The O2 Arena in London, United Kingdom on July 1. Rollins was vocal about Paul’s selective appearances and questioned the value it brought to the promotion.

But of late, he has been respectful and appreciative of Paul’s talents. Speaking on My Love Letter to Wrestling podcast, the 37-year-old said, “I’ll say this about Logan, he’s a hard-working cat. He is a hustler. And I don’t think you get to his level of success just kinda phoning it in.” [h/t: Comic Book]

At the end of the day, both wrestlers add value to the fan experience. While Rollins is a proven champion, Paul’s matches have been entertaining. Fans would be looking forward to both their matches at MITB.
