Seth Rollins Says Talent Is ‘Far Removed’ From Vince McMahon Lawsuit, ‘That’s Far Above What We’re Thinking’

Seth Rollins comments allegations against Vince McMahon. 

On January 25, Janel Grant filed against Vince McMahon, WWE and former executive John Laurinaitis. In the lawsuit, allegations of sex trafficking, emotional abuse, and sexual assault were brought against McMahon. McMahon has denied the allegations and said, through a spokesman, that he will vigorously defend himself.

McMahon would resign as TKO Executive Chairman one day later, effectively ending his time with WWE. 

Appearing on Maggie & Perloff, Seth Rollins was asked what life in WWE is like without Vince McMahon and what changes. 

“Day to day, for us, it doesn’t. It doesn’t. We’re so far removed, as talent, from that stuff. It’s awful, it’s terrible. I hate it. It’s a disgusting situation. We’re so far removed from it. When we get to work it’s, ‘How do we make this show the best possible show we can? Who are we out there with? What’s this promo going to be? What’s this match going to be? How do we entertain the fans?’ That’s really what our job is. That stuff, that’s personal stuff, that’s business stuff, that’s so far above what we’re thinking, where are brains are at. We’re not going to do anything that is going to impact that. It’s an awful situation. We’re focused on what we do day-to-day. It would just be like any other business structure. It’s awful. You feel terrible. You wish you could have seen it or done something. At the end of the day, your job is your job and that’s what we do, we show up and we try to give the people who pay for tickets the best possible show we can. That’s our department,” he said.
