**WWE Universal champion Seth Rollins was interviewed by Jimmy Traina on the SI Media Podcast on Monday, prior to Raw. Rollins backed up his statements on Twitter defending the company and believing no other company does what they do with 500 live events per year, the travel, media obligations and looking like athletes ‘not like jabronis in gym shorts that get in a ring and do high spots’. He said his great matches are sometimes taken for granted because people don’t see all the live event matches, specifically noting one in Montana this past Friday night. He is happy with the input he has regarding his character and not everyone in the company deserves that leeway because it must be earned.
Regarding Jon Moxley and his comments since leaving the company, he was obviously unhappy with them. Below are his comments, which were transcribed by Mike Chiari at Bleacher Report:

Ambrose can do what he wants. He’s a big boy, he’s got his big boy pants on. He can go out there and say whatever he wants, but the bottom line is not everybody’s equipped to handle the rigors of WWE and the schedule and how it affects you mentally and emotionally. And Ambrose gave everything he had to the company for the entire time he was here. He put his heart and soul into the travel, into the schedule, into the injuries, into the work in the ring and all that stuff. But at the end of the day, he took his ball and he went home, or he went elsewhere at least. And I think it’s a little presumptuous of him to get on a podcast and talk down about the company that gave him such an opportunity.
And like I said, I love the guy. I love him, I’ll always love him, but at the end of the day, we just share different perspectives about what we want out of life and about where we’re at in our own lives. I hope that he does well. I’ve kept enough tabs on him to know that he’s doing super well for himself right now and I’m happy for that, but I just don’t think there’s any reason to hop on a soapbox and complain after the fact.
He added that he had not spoken with Moxley about the public comments since departing WWE.
