Off top, I can't stand the onscreen pairing of Rollins and Lynch. I also have never tagged Seth Rollins on Twitter while saying that either, and I've certainly never told him I thought him and his chick have no chemistry.
He had a right to his opinion and there is probably some truth to it.
Rollins is 33 and, from what I understand, a long-time wrestling fan. That means he's probably a little familiar with the way internet fans have historically picked their "attainable," hot chick obsessions. They usually have some borderline nerdy, down-to-earth quality that makes them relatable, they usually don't have blonde hair and they usually have some non-supermodel type looks and features.
This goes back 20 years, with pre-Edge Lita, Mickie and AJ all carrying it at one point or another. Becky, with her red hair, underdog persona, dorky puns and relatively normal looking body took the role. Some fans might, um, "research" pictures of Lana or Renee Michele but they see one of the women like the ones I previously mentioned as somehow being more attainable, for lack of a better word. To see her with a kind of asshole-ish type cross-fit king like Rollins might rub those people the wrong way.
Hell, Rollins, himself catches more shit for his comments I believe because he's always been seen as an indy-guy made good. Nevermind that most of his comments are nothing more than someone telling critics of him and the company that employs him to f**k off.

I'm not sure, but Seth might be kind of an imbecile.

I dunno, what I saw of Becky and Seth at Extreme Rules looked like the most artificial pairing this side of Kane and Lita, but if Seth says they have chemistry, I guess it's all good.

Seth really can’t handle any criticism at this point.
Being a/the top guy when things are down can really mess with your head I guess(see 96 HBK for other example).

This is what the dude has to say, to not let the haters get to him. He needs this for his own mind.

Someone just needs to make a giant collage of pictures about this company. This (and the photoshop'd WWE: We're Not Good At This logo) should be prominent on said collage.

Discount Galavant's logic doesn't really hold up. A lot of people were attracted to Maryse, and it seemed to be a popular opinion for some reason that Miz was punching above his weight, but nobody ever doubted their chemistry. Most people still say Miz's presentation really took a step back when Maryse left. They had amazing chemistry ON SCREEN, where it matters.

With stuff like this, it's ever more apparent how lucky they got with Cena. It may be a facade, but that guy has never outwardly been negative toward the audience.

Considering it looked like she was seconds away from ripping dude's clothes off right there haha.

Chemistry in a real life relationship doesn't always translate to the screen. I'm sure they have mind blowing sex every night, but Vince McMahon isn't scripting that.

Seth Rollins needs to get off the internet for a while. It would be better for all involved.

Becky Lynch and Rebecca Quin are likely two different people... ditto with Seth Rollins and Colby Lopez. Just because the real life Quin and Lopez have chemistry doesn't mean the characters of Lynch and Rollins do.

Just because the real life Quin and Lopez have chemistry doesn't mean the characters of Lynch and Rollins do. Especially in segments written for them by an old man who struggles with understanding human emotions. I don’t think we can understate that. It almost seems unfair that we’ve come to definitive judgment about their on-screen chemistry when they weren’t given a competent platform to show it.

I can kinda empathize with this: the guys a talented wrassler and the company has a plethora of issues and stigma with people that’s Seth is pretty much helpless to improve. But. He’s making it worse. And as others have brought up Cena, WWE sang at its best, and the man showed maturity and grace. It’s simple. Seth needs to do a lot of personal inventory.

More WWE double speak for the fans are always wrong. Even their opinions

Can you imagine Vince directing porn? The dialogue would somehow be even more stilted and artificial. *knock knock*"I'm from the local pizza facility."

For some reason Michael Cole is there and him talking is the primary audio we have through the entire video.
