10 Backstage Stories About Seth Rollins You Should Know
5. Vince McMahon Banned Rollins From Wearing His Iconic White Gear
Seth Rollins scored one of the biggest victories of his career at SummerSlam 2015 when he defeated John Cena to retain his WWE Championship and win the latter's United States Championship. Apart from the match and Rollins becoming a double champion, the white in-ring gear he sported at the event became a sensation among pro wrestling fans.
He might be the Drip God and wear all these bizarre gears to the ring, but none of them compares to the popularity of his SummerSlam 2015 white attire. WWE even posted behind-the-scenes footage of wrestlers complimenting his looks, Brie Bella predicting his Messiah gimmick four years too early, and his future wife, Becky Lynch, eyeballing him like a prize.
However, Vince McMahon saw things differently and banned Rollins from wearing the white gear again. Rollins answered a fan's question about the white attire during a meet and greet and revealed that McMahon doesn't like it and called McMahon a "weird old man" for not understanding that the people think it was the coolest gear they have ever seen. The video went viral for a while before it got taken down by the original account.
