4 Current WWE Superstars who once had backstage heat (and 1 who still does)

#2 WWE Superstar Seth Rollins once had backstage heat

Before they became Shield members, Jon Moxley and Seth Rollins both had heat during their time in WWE’s Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW) developmental system.

Moxley wrote in his book, MOX, that he confronted an unnamed main-roster opponent after suffering a concussion during their match. The former WWE Champion had no recollection of the argument due to his concussion, but he still received a bad reputation after the incident.

In the same chapter, Moxley revealed that many people thought Rollins' attitude needed to improve:

“The two top guys in developmental had become anti-office. Our situation had bred an us-against-the-world mentality already. If they think Seth has an attitude, good, f*** ’em, he should have an attitude,” Moxley wrote.

Rollins also spoke on Steve Austin’s Broken Skull Sessions show about the problems he encountered during the early days of his WWE career. The 2014 Money in the Bank winner said NXT founder Triple H once told him he would be fired if he did not work on his attitude.

Former WWE coach Joey Mercury advised Rollins to learn “how to play the game” if he wanted to succeed in the company.
