WWE star Seth Rollins recently described a heated confrontation with a man who gestured offensively at his Tesla Cybertruck while he drove with his family in Los Angeles. The incident, shared during a talk with comedian Bert Kreischer, involved Rollins defending his vehicle choice amid his daughter's presence. Rollins expressed frustration over public backlash against Cybertruck owners.
Seth Rollins, a prominent WWE wrestler, recounted an unexpected clash during a drive in his black Tesla Cybertruck in Los Angeles. The incident occurred while Rollins, his wife Becky Lynch, and their daughter were navigating a neighborhood, possibly heading to school. A man walking his dog raised his middle finger at the vehicle without provocation, prompting Rollins to react strongly for his daughter's sake.
Rollins shared the details in a conversation with comedian Bert Kreischer. He explained, “We’re in the fking Cybertruck, just driving, not speeding, not doing anything… and this dude walking his dog just goes—” Typically calm in irritating situations, Rollins turned the vehicle around to confront the man. He shouted, “What the fk is your problem?” The man replied, “It’s not you. It’s the truck.” Rollins responded, “You flipped me off! You don’t know what people are going through!”
Despite Becky Lynch's efforts to de-escalate—grabbing his arm and urging, “Let’s go!”—Rollins remained upset. “He just flipped me off for driving a fking car!” he said. Reflecting later, he noted being “so pissed” and “shaking” for about 20 minutes afterward. The wrestler emphasized the man's lack of understanding of personal challenges and broader online backlash against Tesla owners, particularly Cybertrucks in the city.
Regarding the purchase, Rollins clarified he acquired the Cybertruck from a friend who was reselling it, not directly from Tesla. He and Lynch committed to environmentally friendly vehicles, inspired by electric cars, separate from Elon Musk's persona. This event highlights tensions around public perceptions of the Cybertruck.
