Former WWE writer and personality Vince Russo openly criticized Seth Rollins in the latest episode of his podcast, condemning Rollins for comments the wrestler made a few months ago. The dispute originated when Rollins disparaged both Russo and Jim Cornette, referring to Russo specifically as an “idiot” while expressing limited respect for either figure. Russo, known for his outspoken nature, retaliated on The Brand podcast by calling Rollins a “whiny crying b**ch.”
“Seth [Rollins] you little whiny b***h. You can go on every talk show you want and talk about me. I am an as***le, I am a pr*ck, I am a this and a that, because you know what that winds down to? You don’t want to hear the truth. You’re a whiny crying b**ch,” Russo said. (H/T – ITRWrestling)
It remains unclear whether Rollins will respond to Russo’s latest verbal attack or opt to stay silent amid the ongoing feud. The tension reflects a broader rift fueled by past grievances and continued public comments between the two.

He stated that he intends to remain active as long as he can positively impact WWE audiences and support younger wrestlers.
“Yeah, maybe. I’m 40 in a couple of months. I feel great. I mean, I would consider the prime of my career, where the physical hasn’t declined and the mental is as sharp as it’s ever been. As long as I can continue to contribute in a way that’s positive for our fan base and our younger talent. As long as I can continue to make our product better and my body cooperates. I would like to continue to do it,” Rollins said.
Currently recovering from a shoulder injury sustained in October, Rollins had to relinquish the World Heavyweight Championship due to the severity of the damage.
