Seth ‘Freakin’ Rollins has gone on an emotional rant calling out WWE, his critics and even ESPN for continually ‘overlooking’ him.
The former world champion – who will face Riddle at SummerSlam on July 30 – has responded after Cody Rhodes and his WrestleMania return won WWE Moment of the Year at the ESPYs earlier this week, and it’s safe to say he’s not best pleased.
Sharing a video of his on-screen rival discussing the award on the company’s Twitter account, he said: ‘Truly…screw this guy. Screw ESPN. Screw WWE. And screw you scumbags out there who continue to overlook me, discredit me, and undermine me.
‘None of this exists without me. For those of you who have my back, I hear you singing my song every night.’
The Visionary’s very real self confidence is no secret, and he appeared to be speaking from the heart as he also called out a range of stars in a thinly-veiled tweet.
He added: ‘I didn’t have a last name to get my foot in the door. I don’t pack it in and go home when things get tough. I don’t take more than I give. I’m not a chosen one.

‘I shoulder the f’n load every single time. Make everyone around me better. Overdeliver on the regular.’
Fans were quick to agree with Rollins, as one follower replied: ‘I’ve only heard the facts thus far. I mean if we’re being honest here… everything you touch turns to diamonds.’
‘Seth has literally had nothing but losses and still is on top even with the bad booking. He’s proving a point,’ added another, while Seth’s wife Becky Lynch simply tweeted: ‘Husband is King’.
Although the tweets still seemed to be somewhat in character given his feud with Cody Rhodes, it’s clear there are some very real frustrations after Seth admitted he and Bray Wyatt shared a bond over the pressure they have felt from WWE.
‘One thing he and I always had was a little bit of a chip on our shoulder as far as, we were never the guy. We were never a Cena, we were never a Roman and so we couldn’t be static,’ he exclusively told Metro.co.uk.
‘We had to change, we had to evolve to be relevant constantly. There was always some sort of struggle, and there was a bond in that struggle that we always had – I think.
WWE Raw (Mondays) and SmackDown (Fridays) air weekly at 1am on BT Sport 1.
