The reaction to the Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose match at WWE TLC was lackluster at best. Fans chanted for Becky Lynch and even ‘this is boring.’
According to Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio, Vince McMahon was furious at the crowd reaction to the event. While there’s no specific issue given for Vince’s frustration, there was heavy speculation as to all the reasons that could be. One thing that was definitely discussed was this adverse crowd reaction being detrimental for Seth Rollins as he is being groomed reportedly to have a Universal Championship match with Brock Lesnar, potentially at WrestleMania.
