After Stomping Grounds PPV, Rollins stood by his statement in a new tweet:
Doubling down. Best pro wrestling on the planet. See that Cruiserweight Triple Threat? And that’s just one night, one match amongst the many. Find anyone else alive who does what I do as well as I do it as often as I do it. Ya can’t. #WWEStompingGrounds #UniversalChampion @WWE

NJPW wrestler Will Ospreay replied the following to Rollins’ tweet:

Rollins then replied the following to Ospreay:
Ahhhh I’m sorry little guy. We already have a better version of you here and he just won his first US Title tonight (Congrats @KingRicochet). Keep working hard though buddy! https://t.co/JwB36iWaIg
— Seth Rollins (@WWERollins) June 24, 2019
Ospreay fired back with the following tweet:

Rollins then bragged about his bank balance:
I mean if you wanna talk numbers we can compare bank accounts too.
P.S. That’s counting a month off with a broken back…?? buddy.
— Seth Rollins (@WWERollins) June 25, 2019
Ospreay then wished Rollins good luck regarding the back injury:
You love adding stuff don’t ya. I mean the original question was
“Find anyone else alive who does what I do as well as I do it as often as I do it”
No talk of money. No talk of Ricochet. You said anyone.
Here I am.
Just as consistent, just as good.
Hope the back heals up. https://t.co/dfwkKVlyR4— ᵂⁱˡˡ ᴼˢᵖʳᵉᵃʸ • ウィル・オスプレイ (@WillOspreay) June 25, 2019
As you read above, Rollins called Ospreay a ‘little guy’ and this led to Jericho tweeting the following:
Umm…. He’s actually taller and bigger than you. Just sayin. #devilsadvocate https://t.co/IMKdSwz8kM
— Chris Jericho (@IAmJericho) June 25, 2019
Ospreay is 6’2 https://t.co/Tbt81Ccfkm

Baron Corbin decided to enter the conversation and tweeted the following:
More important fact Baron Corbin has wrestled more matches in 2019 THAN Will Ospreay.
Another fact I don’t actually know who you are I just wanted to be apart of the convo. https://t.co/GE2ZVKCbg5 pic.twitter.com/koiNEf1ljO

But ended up getting owned:
No wonder Raw sucks. https://t.co/WwBqvSpwdF
