Seth Rollins explains why he was mad at production on the WWE Raw after WrestleMania.
Seth Rollins was coming off a victory over Logan Paul at WrestleMania, and he was ready to party on the Raw after WrestleMania. Fans watched Rollins make his entrance, the show go to commercial, and then Rollins stand in the ring coming back from commercial as the crowd sang his song.
In a clip posted online, Rollins was seen talking to production, and looking upset. Many thought that Rollins' segment got cut in some capacity as Vince McMahon was backstage and reportedly making changes throughout the show.
Speaking on the SI Media with Jimmy Traina, Rollins explained what happened.
"That was not a big deal. I was upset, but it was mostly production, a miscommunication. That was the night after Mania, and the intent of the segment was to go to break with the audience singing my song, allow them to sing during the break, come back up, they might still be singing, and then drift off into nothingness. For whatever reason, that never made it through to production, so when we go to commercial, instead of letting the crowd party, they did the thing where they black the house, shutdown the music, and play the stupid video packages, which messed up what the whole plan was. The crowd was trying to sing, but you have Stone Cold Steve Austin talking about Broken Skull Ranch. 'Did no one get the memo?' It was just a production snafu. In the middle of the commercial break, I'm yelling to try to get it turned off so they could keep singing, but it was already a disaster. The crowd was confused and didn't know what to make of it. We came back and did the rest of the segment, but it didn't translate the way you wanted because the crowd wasn't able to participate the way the segment was meant to be planned. I wasn't really upset about that, it was just a bad handling," he said.
