Former WWE writer believes Seth Rollins was legitimately “pissed” about RAW after Wrestlemania segment

As seen during the RAW After WWE Wrestlemania 39 broadcast, Seth Rollins came to the ring but then left without saying a word. During the commercial break, Rollins was seen having words with the ringside crew and he ended up throwing down a mic that he was holding before the break ended.

Fans on social media have debated whether the segment was scripted as originally intended. During his podcast, former WWE writer Freddie Prinze Jr. and co-host Jeff Dye discussed their perspective from being at ringside for the show. Dye said the following…

“They played a commercial during his intro, and then we could kind of hear him having a freak-out on some … production people. He was going ‘Why is there a commercial?!’ You couldn’t really hear what he was saying. You could just tell he was mad.”

Prinze Jr. then noted the following…

“He said, ‘What the hell is going on?!’ I saw that coming out of his mouth. I think he was more pissed than pissed at them. I think he was pissed when he went backstage at whoever did that. But if I was him, I would’ve been just as angry, and I thought the way he dealt with it was so hardcore and awesome…”

“Instead of cutting a promo, he just throws the mic out of the ring and walked out — and walked out of the friggin’ show. You can tell me until you’re blue in the face that it was scripted, that is a bunch of BS. I know real stuff when I see it.” (quotes courtesy of WrestlingInc.com)
