After NFL legend Tom Brady’s disparaging comments about WWE created a storm, “Good Morning Football” host Kyle Brandt ridiculed WWE, which resulted in Seth Rollins walking off the set.
Rollins appeared on “Good Morning Football” for night 1 of the NFL Draft, where Brandt drew parallels between NFL and WWE, and the way WWE stars cannot play football, which didn’t go down well with Rollins.
“NFL at 32 is more impressive than wrestling at 39,” Brandt began. “Any seventh round pick tonight can go off the highest rope. They’ll try this stuff. And by the best way, half the roster, Seth, is like within the late 30s, early 40s. NFL at 42 is like Ric Flair in his 60s. We’re talking a couple of real sport, not predetermined, big-time hitch, 22 people. I found out what it’s with Seth. You are a bit of nervous since it’s night one among the draft, and you realize that next yr you may be night one only at WrestleMania. And there is a symmetry there for you, and I feel I finally tapped into it.”
Brandt then goaded Rollins, asking if he wanted to depart, before mocking him and saying he could herald Gunther — the person who defeated him at WrestleMania 42 — to the studio. Rollins got up, threw a towel at Brandt’s face, and walked out.
“I do not really appreciate it. I do not have to do that,” said Rollins. “No, I do wish to be here, but not once I’m treated like this. I do not have to do that. You already know what? You desire to steal every segment. You desire to steal all of the show. That is your thing. Immediately, you’ll be able to have the segment so that you do not have to have a look at it.”

Brandt took one other shot at Rollins when he was leaving, asking his wife and WWE star Becky Lynch — who won the ladies’s Intercontinental Championship at WrestleMania — to exchange him. Rollins left the set, asking Brandt to proceed the show. In a later update, Brandt revealed that Rollins had left the constructing, which surprised him as he thought they were doing a “bit” and he would return.
