WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins shares his thoughts on fans singing his theme song.
In recent months, live crowds at WWE shows have increasingly sang Rollins’ theme song. The singing was especially noteworthy on the June 12 episode of WWE RAW, as the fans practically drowned out Balor during a promo segment.
In an interview with Joseph Staszewski of the New York Post, the way the crowd took over the promo by singing his theme song came up the conversation. When questioned about potentially stepping in and stopping it if the sound became too obnoxious, Rollins responded by wondering why he would want to stop it.
“No. (Laughs) Why would I want to stop it? They’re doing my thing for me,” Rollins said. “Why would I want to stop them? What good is that? That’s silly. They “What” people when they’re bored with them. They’re singing my song to my opponent to aggravate him, to piss him off. They know that it annoys him so they keep doing it. That’s as good as it gets. If he was a heel out there standing by himself and they were booing him out of the building a la Dominik Mysterio and he couldn’t get a word in, everyone would be thinking that’s the greatest thing ever.”
Rollins continued by stating that, as a babyface, having something to antagonize the heel with is great, and the fans should party all night long.
“The fact that there is a babyface who has something like that to utilize to antagonize the bad guy, it doesn’t get any better than that,” Rollins said. “Why would I ever want to stop them? I say party all night long. Mind you, I didn’t tell them to party all night long. All I did was stand there and when I talk, they listen. So, what does that tell you? I do have some control of them.
“I hope it’s like that every single time my opponent picks up a microphone to say something bad to me. Please, bring it on. If you can’t stand the heat, get out of the fire baby.”
Rollins will defend the WWE World Heavyweight Championship on the June 19 episode of WWE RAW. WrestleZone will have coverage of the show as it airs on Monday.
