“They Didn’t Care”: Seth Rollins and Vince McMahon Got Engaged in a Clash of Words Backstage Over a Minor Creative Change in 2021

Any creative work is bound to have clashing opinions if more than one person is working on it. Such is the story with a lot of WWE’s creative decisions. Vince McMahon is infamous in the company for having conflicting opinions with the rest of the team. Moreover, the former CEO has also gone against what fans wish to see. There’s a new addition to the list of names who have debated with McMahon over a creative decision.

Seth Rollins has an entrance theme that has got the crowd singing it to the top of their lungs. Mesmerized fans sing along to the theme song’s one specific part. Despite how iconic the part of the song is, McMahon decided to change the number of “woah” in Rollins’ opening sequence.

Vince McMahon intervenes in Seth Rollins’ original opening sequence

In 2021, ‘Visionary’ was released as Seth Rollins’ exclusive theme song. The wrestler was probably excited when the final product was finished and ready to be presented in front of the world. The catchy ‘woah’ part of the song, however, did not sit with Vince McMahon. Consequently, he called a decision to omit a number of ‘woah’s from the entry theme. Little did he know that Rollins was not going to go down without a fight.

“He [Vince McMahon] didn’t get the ‘woahs’. ‘Ah, that’s not Seth Freakin’ Rollins.’ ‘I’m telling you.’ ‘No, just trust me.’ ‘Alright, fine, I’ll trust you.’ He took the ‘woahs’ out and in the back of my mind I’m like, ‘You just wait.’ They never went back in,” recalled the current World Heavyweight Champion while talking on Logan Paul‘s podcast recently.

There was still enough of the omitted part in the song that allowed people to catch on. However, The Architect also talked about how people did not care much in the beginning about his theme, “When I was a heel, no one was singing my song, they didn’t care.”

Despite knowing that Seth Rollins takes a stand for his creative opinions, WWE didn’t stop trying to make last-minute changes where he was involved. Let’s take a look at a much more recent example.

Despite becoming the World Champion, Seth Rollins’ belt was considered ‘secondary’ to Roman Reigns’

Rollins won his way to the top by defeating AJ Styles as the World Heavyweight Champion at Night of Champions. All viewers expected that this was the start of something bigger for the champion. However, WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray was disappointed when he came across Rollins’ first WWE match as the World Heavyweight Champion.

He was featured in a ‘tag-team match’ alongside AJ Styles, who was his opponent the last time they met.

As a result, Ray was not happy with WWE’s decision to not utilize The Architect’s talent as the WHC to do something bigger. According to the WWE legend, this presents Rollins’ title as ‘inferior’ to The Tribal Chief‘s because of how they did not use Rollins’ full potential with the title.
