Rollins worked with the former WWE CEO for more than ten years, and he helped make the organization a success during that period. Additionally, McMahon provided him with the push he needed, and he eventually became the WWE Champion. Thus, he is one of the stars who can tell a lot about The Big Man’s working style.

Talking about it, he stated, “With Vince, it was like kind of a double-edged sword. On one hand, you knew exactly who to go to all the time. Every answer needed to go through Vince. And There was security in that. If you needed something and you needed an answer, pronto, he was right there. You knew exactly that if you got yes from him, nothing else beneath that mattered. So that was really cool, You could understand his vision, once you worked with him for a long enough time.”

Despite how much he enjoys working with him, he calls Mr. McMahon flippant. Thus, as per Rollins, working with McMahon as a talent may be quite challenging at times. Moreover, he said he is ecstatic to work with HHH.
