Thanks For Clearing That Up: Seth Rollins Clarifies Post That Resembled Racist Imagery

That isn’t something you would expect. The internet has changed the way wrestling fans are able to injury the product. With so many places online to watch wrestling these days, the internet has also become a way for the wrestlers to talk to their fans and interact with them in ways that were never possible before. That does not always mean things will go well though and that was nearly the case this week.

Love him or hate him, Seth Rollins is one of the biggest names in the wrestling world at the moment. Rollins can do a lot of incredible things in the ring, but there are times where he is not the most accepted wrestler in the world. He recently turned heel to become one of the bigger villains on Monday Night Raw and in WWE in general, though there was something else that got a lot of attention this week.

Earlier this week, Rollins posted a photo to his Instagram page showing an image of three people in hooded robes. The image was part of a campaign to advertise a coffee show run by a friend of Rollins’, though some fans seemed to think that the image was designed to support the KKK, who wear similar looking robes. Rollins clarified that the image is actually of three witches and apologized for the confusion, while also saying “F the KKK. F racism.”

It was witches….for a creepy coffee thing I’m helping a friend with. My apologies if anyone was confused. F the KKK. F racism.

With that cleared up, here is some of Rollins’ better work. Check out a few of his recent efforts:

Big Show, Kevin Owens & Samoa Joe vs. Seth Rollins & AOP – Fist Fight: Raw, Jan. 13, 2020

Opinion: This is something where I could see the confusion, but hopefully this goes away completely as it was little more than people jumping to conclusions. There is no indication that Rollins meant to do anything more than try to help a friend and there is nothing wrong with that. The clarification was as simple and to the point as you could get so hopefully everything winds up being fine, as it should.
