Did Seth Rollins go too far with his rant, or was it justified given the botch?

Seth Rollins is extremely passionate and he demonstrates this every time he enters the ring. He displayed the same trait yet again in a pivotal moment that occurred in the MITB PLE. Rollins was on top of his game at this event, performing admirably. However, through no fault of his own, a major blunder occurred during his bout. Even Seth Rollins was irritated by the gaffe in which Priest failed to kick out at 2 and the referee did not continue to count to 3.

A video has just surfaced on social media that reveals precisely what Seth Rollins was saying to the referee after this incident occurred. The video merely shows Rollins sitting in the same position he was in before the pin, blaming the referee for not counting till three. His precise words couldn’t be heard but the lip sync suggests that he muttered, “Oh fu**k off.”

According to the aforementioned reply, the Visionary was only attempting to preserve his character, which is why he was abusing the referee since WWE superstars must retain their character no matter what occurs in the ring. Nevertheless, the former WWE World Heavyweight champion was frustrated at how his MITB appearance fared. He also finds himself blaming a familiar perpetrator in the form of CM Punk who caused havoc in the m atch.

Seth Rollins was quite frustrated with the outcome of the bout

Seth Rollins is known for maintaining his persona, as seen by the above-mentioned anecdote, and he did the same when the match concluded. Rollins was visibly furious when the bell sounded since the enormous opportunity he had was snatched away from him so quickly. Especially, since he now can’t compete for the world title because of someone else’s actions. The Visionary even attempted to confront Punk after the bout, but Corey Graves stopped him and prevented a melee between the two of them. Rollins was pretty upset and was shouting at Punk in the aftermath of the bout.

Have an interesting take?

Seth Rollins was so angry at the time that he abused Punk severely. According to sources, the former World Champion threw a lot of F bombs, shocking the spectators in attendance. Furthermore, there were rumors that the Visionary might turn heel shortly because of all that had transpired, but this did not materialize. WWE may have big plans for Rollins and Punk in the future as evidenced by their interaction on Raw. However, it remains to be seen when and where they could clash. Additionally, the Stamford-based promotion is hoping to receive full medical clearance from their personnel on CM Punk before they throw him into the deep end.
