Responding to this, Rollins said he was not gonna waste his breath on someone who had been gone for 8 years(10 actually), and tried to tear down WWE, and will instead focus on the ones that make this place great.
“I’m not going to waste any more breath on somebody that’s been gone for 8 years, has done nothing but try & tear this place down. Instead I’m going to take my time & use my breath on talking about the people who’ve been here all along. That’s everybody in the back who’s made WWE the hottest ticket in town, that’s every single one of you who are here tonight.”
