Needless to say, the jibe did not go down well with ‘The Architect’ who decided to react to the fan’s remarks quite grudgingly. “Being a fighting champion is taking its toll on me. I have one guy over here, that guy right there, called me a fake champion," Seth Rollins responded while pointing at the fan.

“I am here in your city sweating buckets, bleeding my own blood. I am far from a fake ass champion. I am a fighting champion because you and I deserve a champion that's gonna sweat and bleed his own blood,” the 37-year-old added.

And then was just trying to detach and move on. Hope that everybody is okay,” Rollins told TMZ following the chilling incident.
