WWE stars Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch recalled a dangerous incident in Los Angeles with a passerby, apparently upset about driving a Tesla Cybertruck.
The professional wrestling couple appeared on a recent episode of “Something’s Burning” with comedian Bert Kreischer. Rollins said he “snapped” a person who gave them the finger while he was driving the vehicle.

“I have a black Cybertruck, and in L.A. it’s like you’re the enemy,” Rollins said. “We also have a Model 3 or Y, whatever. Drive that thing and no one gives a damn. Elon (Musk) went completely crazy and I bought it right before that. I really, really like electric cars, I like the brand.”
Lynch explained that they are “friends of the environment, not of Elon,” and that everywhere they go in the Tesla, there is someone who is unhappy.
“This guy, I was driving my daughter to school. She (Becky) was in the backseat with (their daughter) Roux. This guy, this little guy, was just walking his dog on the side of the road, we were just driving along, I make this turn, and uncalled for, he just goes like this (raises middle finger) Real tough guy, really tough on his little dog. And I was like, ‘Aw my God.’ And she didn’t see him. I’m like, “Tell me to keep driving, tell me to keep driving.” » She said to me, “Just drive.” What happened? What is happening? We started to turn away and I was like, “No.”

“I hit the brakes and I rolled it up, and I got in and I found this guy, I parked the car and I got out and I ran up to this guy and I was like, ‘You don’t know who these f— people are. You don’t know what people are going through. I’m just trying to take my f—ing daughter to school.’ I’m like, ‘You don’t know anything about people.’ Then I started picking on him. I’m like, “I don’t agree with politics” and this and that. And he tried to apologize.”
Lynch said the person told them it was the car and not the people inside the car.
