AEW star responds after Seth Rollins calls out WWE on FOX

Last night, Seth Rollins made an appearance on WWE Backstage on FS1. Before appearing on the show though, Rollins put up a tweet calling out WWE on FOX as well as the WWE Backstage panel, which has now gotten a response from AEW star Jake Hager.

It all kicked off when the official Twitter handle of WWE on FOX posted a tweet promoting Rollins' appearance on the show. The tweet mentioned that "Rollins wants to explain himself" to the WWE Backstage panel. The Beastslayer wasn't happy with the tweet and decided to respond to the same. Rollins referred to WWE on FOX as 'idiots' and added that if they want him to explain himself, they better find someone else to get views. Rollins ended up going on the show, but things didn't end here.

This isn't the first time Hager has responded to a WWE Superstar on Twitter. A short while ago, he advised Rusev to leave Lana as well as WWE. It would be interesting to see whether Rollins responds to Hager's tweet.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
