Seth Rollins Confronts Cybertruck Critic
While driving his black Cybertruck in Los Angeles, Rollins faced an unexpected gesture from a passerby. A man walking his dog raised his middle finger at Rollins, prompting a reaction that the wrestler would later recount.
Background on the Cybertruck Purchase
Rollins explained that he purchased the Cybertruck after being inspired by electric cars. His wife, fellow wrestler Becky Lynch, added context by mentioning they needed a second vehicle when a friend decided against keeping their reservation. They have a commitment to environmentally friendly transport, separate from Elon Musk’s persona.
The Incident Details
- Location: Los Angeles
- Rollins’ daughter was present in the back seat during the incident.
- Confrontation occurred while making a turn with no prior provocation.
After being flipped off, Rollins initially tried to dismiss the situation for his daughter’s sake. However, he ultimately decided to confront the critic directly. He parked his vehicle, approached the man, and expressed his frustration vehemently.
Rollins’ Reaction
During the heated exchange, he emphasized that the man did not understand who he was or the challenges individuals face in daily life. Rollins articulated his frustration about the online backlash against Tesla owners, particularly given the public’s perception of the Cybertruck in the city.
The situation escalated but ultimately served as a reminder of the complexities surrounding public perceptions of electric vehicles and their owners.
