Seth Rollins seemed to take a jab at everyone that has labeled him as dangerous in the WWE ring
Last weekend at WWE SummerSlam, Finn Balor walked away as the first-ever WWE Universal Champion, defeating former WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins. However, we would come to find out that Balor was severely injured in the match after he took a powerbomb on the outside from Rollins into the barricade. He suffered a torn labrum in his shoulder and Balor will be out of action for around six months now.
Since then, there have been a lot of people that have labeled Rollins as “dangerous” in the ring. Of course, the most vocal and famous advocate of this is one of the best to ever step into a ring, Bret Hart, who has never really been a fan of Rollins in the ring. But aside from Hart, there are many out there that are sick of seeing people get hurt when they’re in the ring with Rollins.
So, how is Rollins handling all of the criticism? Well, on Sunday, the night before he will compete on RAW in the WWE Universal Championship Fatal 4-Way, the former Shield member played up the label on Twitter, trolling everyone in the process.
Haven't ya heard? "Dangerous" is my middle name, but "next Universal Champ" works just as well. #raw

Rollins used this tweet more so in kayfabe terms, but this was a definite jab at those that have criticized him. How he really feels about being labeled as dangerous — we may never know the answer to that, because only the man himself knows.

Over the course of the past year, Rollins has shattered John Cena’s nose, forced Sting into retirement and quickly brought a halt to Balor’s quick rise to the top. But, it must also be remembered that accidents happen in wrestling and these occurrences could be coincidences as well.
For now, though, let’s just all enjoy Kevin Owens’ response to the tweet.
Spectacular!
