Jim Ross hits back at Seth Rollins

Seth Rollins took a shot at Kenny Omega recently and stated that he would love to fight the All Elite Wrestling star at WrestleMania one day. He stated that when Omega is done playing in the minor leagues (AEW), he can come and work for the top wrestling company (WWE).

Jim Ross was not happy with the comment and has now hit back at the WWE Universal champion. He believes that Rollins' dig at Omega doesn't do favors to anyone in the business. JR said on Grilling JR podcast:

“Rollins is in a great spot. He’s blessed. Maybe some day he’ll be as over as his girlfriend, I don’t know. 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.”

He went to claim that the comments embarrassed him and questioned if Rollins is doing it to gain favors from his bosses at WWE. JR added:

"I don’t know what the answer is. But for a top talent that’s been blessed with great health right now and making a ton of money, and dating the hottest woman in the business, arguably by many… Man, what have you got to b**** about? Are you kidding me?”
