Seth Rollins Throws Shade at Vince McMahon’s Chaotic Booking Style

Seth Rollins isn’t holding back when it comes to comparing the old WWE regime with the new one—and Vince McMahon’s name came up, even if not directly.

Appearing on the Outta Pocket with RGIII podcast, Rollins opened up about the behind-the-scenes shift in WWE since Triple H took over as Chief Content Officer. And while he never said Vince McMahon’s name outright, the shot was crystal clear.

“If you want an answer to pretty much anything, you go to the very top, and the guy in charge now, Triple H, he likes to plan things out a lot more. He likes to let things play out without making last-second changes; the previous owner of the company, not so much [laughs]. He very much liked to fiddle with things to the last minute,” Rollins said.

It’s a rare public comment from one of WWE’s top stars that flat-out calls attention to how chaotic things used to be under McMahon’s rule. While many insiders have whispered about Vince’s last-minute rewrites and on-the-fly decisions, Rollins put it out there with no sugarcoating.

He went on to say the biggest creative upgrade under Triple H has been a noticeable drop in those eleventh-hour changes.

“But from like going in like a game plan perspective, we definitely have less last-second changes than we used to, say two years ago. So, that has been a major improvement,” Rollins added.

Rollins debuted under McMahon’s leadership and became one of WWE’s biggest names. But with Triple H now calling the creative shots, he seems more comfortable than ever. The long-term storytelling approach has been a breath of fresh air for many on the roster—and Rollins just made that clear.
