Seth Rollins addresses criticism over WWE taking “blood money” from Saudi Arabia
While speaking with Jay Mohr, WWE star Seth Rollins addressed criticism over WWE taking “blood money” from Saudi Arabia…
“We’ve been going there for six years. We’ve been taking sh*t for six years. ‘It’s blood money.’ Well, guess what? We get paid by America too. What do you think? You think there’s no blood money there? Come on. Get out of here.
We’ve gone there for six years. And I’ll say this — when we went in 2019, I was skeptical as well. ‘Oh, I don’t know about this. I don’t know. I don’t know how I feel about it.’ But we go over there, and the change in the culture and the people at our shows in six years has been incredible.
When I tell you we went there the first time, there were no women on our show. There were no women backstage. They wouldn’t do anything. Now we go there and it’s just like a WWE show. The fans — there’s a ton of women there, local.”
