Bah gawd, he’s broken in half.

Who knew the best comment to come out of the AEW versus WWE war of words would come from Jim Ross. Earlier in the week, WWE Universal Champion Seth Rollins ruffled a few feathers with a quote about AEW.

When talking about a dream match with Kenny Omega, Rollins referred to AEW as the minor leagues. This comes on the heels of Rollins making odd comments about Jon Moxley as well as his Twitter feud with NJPW’s Will Ospreay.

Omega himself of course caused a stir just a few weeks ago with his own take on the NXT roster versus AEW’s. The Cleaner would eventually apologize, kind of.

On this week’s episode of Grilling JR with Conrad Thompson, Ross was asked directly about Rollins’ comments. Good ole JR didn’t hold back at all and went on an epic rant about the state of Seth Rollins in 2019.

“I don’t know how many houses Seth has drawn that have sold out. As another Hall of Famer has mentioned to me, it’s not about the individuals being over or drawing the house or selling out, it’s about the WWE brand selling out. Hence, the best illustration is WrestleMania. The brand name WrestleMania and the parent company, the big dog in the yard, WWE is what sells tickets to WrestleMania under the auspices that they’re going to do deliver a special show, opponents and participants to be named. But Rollins he’s got a great spot, he’s blessed, maybe someday he’ll be as over as his girlfriend, I don’t know, but nonetheless, I’ve always liked his work. He’s a solid guy. He’s a solid guy, but saying things like that make him look bad and for that I feel badly. I just do.”

Ross really could have laid down his cowboy hat and walked away after body checking Rollins into the abyss. Instead, the Hall of Fame announcer went on to rant about maybe Rollins is cracking under the pressure of being the top guy or feeling the heat for his streak of questionable public statements.

JR would also go on to praise Rollins for being a great worker dating all the way back to his days in ROH. Ross came across as feeling bad for Rollins and theorized that a lot of his recent comments may have come out with WWE management in mind.
