Seth Rollins On Issues With Triple H: “Don’t Wanna Throw Him Under The Bus”
Seth Rollins had issues with Triple H when he first started working with WWE.
The Visionary began his WWE journey in 2010 by signing with the company’s developmental territory, Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW).
Before that, he wrestled in the indies and had a unique style that blended technical wrestling with high-flying maneuvers.
Seth Rollins And His Problems With Triple H
Speaking on an interview with Jay Mohr, Seth Rollins revealed the challenges he faced early in WWE’s developmental system under Triple H’s leadership.
He noted that Triple H didn’t initially grasp or favor his high-flying, independent-style wrestling approach.
Rollins had to persistently request opportunities while toning down his combative attitude, realizing that blindly insisting on “his way” as a young star wasn’t effective.
WWE emphasized proving he could follow directions, collaborate without constant head-butting, and work as a team before earning freedom to showcase his unique skills.
Seth Rollins said:
I don’t want to throw him under the bus, but my boss now, who’s fantastic, Triple H, he was not a guy that did my style, and he was not a guy that understood my style really.
So he was the head of developmental and he was kind of a push back but what I learned when I got there you know what it took was yes I had to constantly, ‘go give me a chance,’ ‘give me a chance,’ ‘give me a chance,’ but also I had to not be so combative because I was very combative as a young you know full of pi*s and vinegar.
I was like no my way, just trust me, just trust me, I know how to do this, just give me the chance, and I can show you. They were like, “Well, yeah, but show us that you know how to take direction.
Show us that you can work with us. Show us that we’re not butting heads all the time. It’s not your way or the highway. Like, we’re going to work together, and then you can get the opportunity to do what you want to do. Took me a while to process that as a, you know, 24 or 25-year-old kid. (From 8:52)
