Before Chris Jericho was alienating friends and fans alike with poorly thought out tweets on the election, Seth Rollins showed everyone how not to behave on social media.

On 23 June 2019, Seth Rollins tweeted that WWE had the "Best pro wrestling on the planet. Period", which we honestly didn't have a problem with. We disagreed, but could understand him wanting to show loyalty to a company that has done well by him over the years. However, Rollins inexplicably followed his original post with the tweet seen in the above photo, where he went from company yes-man to self-aggrandising shill.

This attracted the ire of wrestling fans in general and Will Ospreay in particular, who simply tweeted back "I'm Alive". This led to a war of words between the two, which Ospreay won when Rollins shot himself in the foot by bragging about the relative size of their bank accounts. Will rightly called out Rollins for shifting the goalposts before capping the feud by wishing the WWE superstar well. To his credit, Rollins did offer a public apology on Twitter for bringing money into the argument, although even then he couldn't stop himself restating his belief that he was the best pro wrestler on the planet.
