WWE Rumors: Nobody Likes 'Terrible Champion' Brock Lesnar, Seth Rollins Says
WWE star Seth Rollins recently blasted Brock Lesnar ahead of their highly anticipated match at SummerSlam.
Lesnar and Rollins are set to clash in next week’s SummerSlam. But it seems like Rollins has more issues about Lesnar other than being his next opponent.
On the "Fight Club Podcast," Rollins unloaded a flurry of harsh words for Lesnar. The 33-year-old pro wrestler shared his opinion about what kind of champion Lesnar is, Fightful reported.
“My opinion of it is that the WWE Championship will always feel special. My point with Lesnar is that he doesn’t care,” Rollins said.
Rollins then continued with a heavier comment about Lesnar by stating that the WWE superstar is “all about making money,” and that “nobody on the planet” likes Lesnar as a pro wrestler.
"There’s no heart or soul when it comes to the WWE and it’s all about making the most money. There’s no passion, he doesn’t aspire to be anything. Nobody on the planet says, ‘Brock Lesnar is my favorite wrestler.’,” Rollins exclaimed.
Aside from expressing his disgust on Lesnar as a pro wrestler, Rollins also mentioned that having Lesnar as a champion doesn’t help the business.
“When you have a champion like Lesnar, who shows up whenever he wants and he’s above everyone, then you run into issues. What did that help? Does it help our business? I don’t think so,” Rollins noted.
Rollins also said that Lesnar doesn’t have the qualities of a true champion. According to Rollins, Lesnar is a great athlete but doesn’t inspire people and make them appreciate what they do as wrestlers.
“He is worthy of the title and being a champion. There’s no denying what Brock Lesnar is capable of, as far as being an athlete and being a performer. But the truth is, he’s just not a good champion. He’s supposed to inspire people and supposed to make people appreciate what you do, love this industry, be a part of this industry as a fan and as a performer, what have you,” Rollins emphasized.
Rollins then wrapped it up by summing up Lesnar’s overall character as performer and a champion.
“He is a capable performer, maybe one of those capable, but he’s a terrible champion in my opinion," Rollins stated.
Rollins will face Lesnar for the Universal Championship at SummerSlam next weekend. He is hoping to regain the title he lost last month at Extreme Rules.
Lesnar on the other hand, has yet to release a statement about Rollins’ accusations about him.
