Seth Rollins

Colby Daniel Lopez (born May 28, 1986), better known by the ring name Seth Rollins, is an American professional wrestler. He is signed to WWE, where he performs on the Raw brand and is the current holder of the Men’s Money in the Bank contract and is his second time holding the contract. Known for his nicknames "The Visionary", "The Revolutionary", and "The Architect", he is characterized by his over-the-top, eccentric persona and is revered as one the most versatile characters and in-ring professional wrestlers of all time.

Prior to signing with WWE, he wrestled under the ring name Tyler Black for Ring of Honor (ROH) and was part of the Age of the Fall stable. During his time in ROH, he held the ROH World Championship once and the ROH World Tag Team Championship twice (with Jimmy Jacobs) and won the 2009 Survival of the Fittest tournament. He also wrestled for various independent promotions including Full Impact Pro, where he was a one-time FIP World Heavyweight Champion, as well as Pro Wrestling Guerrilla, where he was a one-time PWG World Tag Team Champion (also with Jimmy Jacobs).

Lopez signed with WWE in 2010 and was sent to its then- developmental territory Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW), where he was renamed Seth Rollins and became the inaugural FCW Grand Slam Champion. After WWE rebranded its developmental brand from FCW to NXT, he became the inaugural NXT Champion. In November 2012, he debuted on the main roster as a member of The Shield alongside Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns. He won his first main roster championship, the WWE Tag Team Championship, with Roman Reigns in May 2013; he went on to hold the title a record six times with Dean Ambrose and various partners. After leaving The Shield in 2014, he joined The Authority, establishing his on-screen character as a leading villain. Since then, he has headlined numerous major pay-per-view and livestreaming events for WWE, including their flagship annual event, WrestleMania, three times ( 31, 40 - Night 1, and 41 - Night 1).

Rollins is a five-time world champion in WWE, having won the WWE Championship twice, WWE Universal Championship twice, and World Heavyweight Championship once, being the inaugural champion. He has also held the Intercontinental Championship and the United States Championship twice each, making him WWE's 29th Triple Crown Champion and 19th Grand Slam Champion, as well as the second wrestler to accomplish the latter twice under the revised 2015 format. He is also the only wrestler to have won the WWE Championship, Universal Championship, World Heavyweight Championship, and NXT Championship, in addition to being the only wrestler to compete in the match to decide the inaugural champion of three WWE championships (NXT, Universal, and World Heavyweight). Rollins also won the 2014 and 2025 Money in the Bank ladder match, the 2015 Slammy Award for Superstar of the Year, and the 2019 Royal Rumble match. He is an overall ten-time Slammy Award winner. All totaled, he has won 16 championships in WWE (with all but one on the main roster).

Praised for his in-ring skills and ability to reinvent his on-screen character, Rollins is regarded as one of the greatest wrestlers active today and of his generation. Rollins topped ''Pro Wrestling Illustrated''s '' PWI 500'' list of the top 500 wrestlers in the world in 2015, 2019, and 2023, was voted as the PWI Wrestler of the Year in 2015 and 2023 and was named Wrestler of the Year by ''Sports Illustrated'' in 2022. He was the first wrestler to cash in a Money in the Bank contract at a WrestleMania event and holds the record for the longest televised match in WWE history, performing for 65 minutes whilst defeating Roman Reigns and John Cena in a gauntlet match in the same night.

Early life

Colby Daniel Lopez was born on May 28, 1986 in Davenport, Iowa. He is of Armenian, German, and Irish descent. He gained the Lopez surname from his Mexican-American stepfather, whom he considers his true father. He has a brother and a sister, but did not know this until their existence was revealed by a DNA test in 2019. He graduated from Davenport West High School in 2004. As a teenager, he was an introvert who lived a straight edge lifestyle and was a big fan of rock and heavy metal music. He trained at a wrestling school owned by Danny Daniels on the borders of Chicago and Oak Park.

Professional wrestling career

Independent circuit (2004–2010)

Lopez made his debut at the age of 19 on August 21, 2004, wrestling in the Iowa independent scene under the ring name Gixx. He then joined Ian Rotten's Independent Wrestling Association Mid-South (IWA) under the name Tyler Black, and entered the ''Ted Petty Invitational Tournament'', defeating Sal Thomaselli before being eliminated by Matt Sydal in the quarterfinals in Hammond, Indiana on September 23, 2005.

He soon joined NWA Midwest and won the promotion's tag team championship with Marek Brave. The two retained the NWA Midwest Tag Team Championship against Ryan Boz and Danny Daniels, Brett Wayne and Hype Gotti and Jayson Reign and Marco Cordova several times in early 2006. He briefly appeared in Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) and teamed with Jeff Luxon in a loss to The Latin American Xchange (Homicide and Hernandez) on '' Impact!'' in October 2006.

On May 25, 2007, while in a match with then Full Impact Pro (FIP) Tag Team Champions The Briscoe Brothers ( Jay and Mark Briscoe) in Melbourne, Florida, Black's tag team partner Marek Brave suffered a legitimate back injury, leading Black to pursue a singles career by competing in Pro Wrestling Guerrilla (PWG), where he defeated Joey Ryan in his debut on June 10.

At PWG's Life During Wartime on July 6, 2008, Black and Jimmy Jacobs won the PWG World Tag Team Championship by defeating Roderick Strong and El Generico, a replacement for Jack Evans. At FIP's event on December 20, Black defeated Go Shiozaki to win the FIP World Heavyweight Championship. At FIP's event on May 2, 2009, Davey Richards was awarded the FIP World Heavyweight Championship by forfeit when Black was unable to compete.

Ring of Honor

The Age of the Fall (2007–2009)

At the Ring of Honor (ROH) pay-per-view taping of Man Up on September 15, 2007, Black made his debut alongside Jimmy Jacobs and Necro Butcher, with the three attacking The Briscoe Brothers, and hanging Jay Briscoe from light rigging fashioned as a noose. The three formed a stable called The Age of the Fall. The angle was so controversial that ROH decided to remove the footage from the pay-per-view that was being taped at the event. Black later made his ROH in-ring debut later that night in a dark match, wrestling Jack Evans to a no contest.

At Glory by Honor VI in November, Black defeated Alex "Sugarfoot" Payne, but was attacked by The Briscoe Brothers following the match. He appeared with The Age of the Fall in their match against The Briscoe Brothers during the main event. At Final Battle on December 30, Black and Jacobs defeated The Briscoe Brothers to win the ROH World Tag Team Championship. They lost the championship one month later on January 26, 2008, to the No Remorse Corps (Davey Richards and Rocky Romero) when competing in an Ultimate Endurance match also involving The Hangmen 3 ( Brent Albright and B. J. Whitmer), and the team of Austin Aries and Bryan Danielson.

At Take No Prisoners on May 30, Black unsuccessfully challenged Nigel McGuinness for the ROH World Championship. At Up For Grabs, Black and Jacobs won an eight-team tournament to win their second ROH World Tag Team Championship. The two lost the championship at Driven on November 14 to the team of Kevin Steen and El Generico. Black had a second chance at the ROH World Championship at Death Before Dishonor VI in New York City, when he faced McGuinness, Danielson and Claudio Castagnoli in a four-way elimination match, but McGuinness retained the title.

At Final Battle in December, after Black lost a number one contender match to Austin Aries, Jacobs turned on him, and Black was then attacked by Aries. At Full Circle, Black was given a non-title match against then-ROH World Champion Nigel McGuinness on January 16, 2009, where Black was victorious. The following night, Black faced McGuinness in a title match, which ended in a time limit draw. On June 26, at Violent Tendencies, Black defeated Jimmy Jacobs in a steel cage match to end their feud.

ROH World Champion and departure (2009–2010)

In September 2009, Black took a hiatus after receiving surgery on his neck. On October 10, Black defeated Kenny King in a first-round match and then Claudio Castagnoli, Colt Cabana, Delirious, Chris Hero and Roderick Strong in the finals to win the 2009 Survival of the Fittest tournament, earning him a ROH World Championship match. On December 19, at ROH's first live pay-per-view, Final Battle, Black wrestled then ROH World Champion Austin Aries to a 60-minute time limit draw. Because of this draw, then ROH commissioner Jim Cornette booked the two in a rematch between February 13, 2010, for the company's Eighth Anniversary Show. The booking saw Cornette set up a judging panel with himself on and one person picked by each competitor, in order for there to be a decisive winner in case of another draw. Aries picked King while Black picked Strong, whom he guaranteed an ROH World Championship title shot should he win. At the event, Black pinned Aries to win the ROH World Championship.

On April 3, Black retained the title in a three-way elimination match against Austin Aries and Roderick Strong at The Big Bang! pay-per-view. He also retained the title against Davey Richards on June 19 at Death Before Dishonor VIII. Black turned into a villain at the August 20 tapings of '' Ring of Honor Wrestling'' after news broke that he had signed a developmental contract with World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE). He threatened to take the ROH World Championship with him to WWE and refused to put the championship at stake in a match with Davey Richards on August 28, which he then lost by submission. On September 11, at Glory By Honor IX, in his final ROH appearance, Black lost the ROH World Championship to Roderick Strong in a no disqualification match with Terry Funk as a guest enforcer, ending his reign at 210 days after seven successful title defenses.

Rollins then accepted Graves' challenge and defeated him in a lumberjack match to end the feud.

The Shield (2012–2014)

On November 18, 2012, at the Survivor Series pay-per-view, Seth Rollins made his main roster debut as a heel alongside Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns, attacking Ryback during the triple threat main event for the WWE Championship, allowing CM Punk to pin John Cena and retain the title. The trio declared themselves The Shield, vowed to rally against "injustice" and denied working for Punk, but routinely emerged from the crowd to attack Punk's adversaries. This led to a Tables, Ladders and Chairs match at TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs on December 16, where The Shield defeated Team Hell No (Daniel Bryan and Kane) and Ryback in their WWE debut match. The Shield continued to aid Punk after TLC, attacking both Ryback and The Rock (at Royal Rumble) in January 2013. It was revealed on the January 28 episode of '' Raw'' that Punk and his manager Paul Heyman had been paying The Shield and Brad Maddox to work for them.

The Shield then quietly ended their association with Punk while beginning a feud with John Cena, Ryback and Sheamus that led to a six-man tag match on February 17 at Elimination Chamber, which The Shield won. On April 7, they defeated Sheamus, Big Show and Randy Orton at WrestleMania 29. The following night on ''Raw'', The Shield attempted to attack The Undertaker, but were stopped by Team Hell No. This set up a six-man tag team match on the April 22 episode of ''Raw'', which The Shield won. On the May 13 episode of ''Raw'', The Shield's undefeated streak in televised six-man tag team matches ended in a disqualification loss in a six-man elimination tag team match against John Cena, Kane and Daniel Bryan.

The feud between Rollins and Ambrose culminated on October 26 at Hell in a Cell, where Rollins defeated Ambrose in a Hell in a Cell match after Bray Wyatt interfered and attacked Ambrose.

At Money in the Bank on May 10, Rollins unsuccessfully challenged McIntyre for the WWE Championship.

The next night on ''Raw'', Rollins attacked Rey Mysterio and injured his eye with the steel ring steps. On the May 18 episode of ''Raw'', Rollins recruited Austin Theory as a member of his faction. Mysterio eventually returned and challenged Rollins to an Eye for an Eye match, where the only way to win was to extract the opponent's eyeball. At The Horror Show at Extreme Rules on July 19, Rollins won the match after using the ring steps to remove Mysterio's eye. Over the following weeks, Rey's son Dominik Mysterio confronted Rollins about the attacks on both him and his father. At SummerSlam on August 23, Rollins defeated Dominik in a Street Fight. On August 30, Rollins and Murphy lost to Rey and Dominik Mysterio at Payback.

On the October 5 episode of ''Raw'', Murphy attacked Rollins after he refused to apologize to him, thus ending their alliance. As part of the 2020 WWE draft in October, Rollins was drafted to the SmackDown brand. On the November 20 episode of ''SmackDown'', Rollins lost to Murphy to end the feud. At Survivor Series two days later, Rollins was a part of Team SmackDown, but was the first person eliminated by Sheamus after "sacrificing" himself and his team lost the match.

The Visionary (2021–2023)

At the Royal Rumble on January 31, 2021, Rollins entered at number 29, but was eliminated by eventual winner Edge. On Night 1 of WrestleMania 37 on April 10, Rollins lost to Cesaro, but won a rematch at Hell in a Cell on June 20. On the July 9 episode of ''SmackDown'', Rollins defeated Cesaro again to qualify for the Money in the Bank ladder match at the titular event on July 18, which was won by Big E. Later that night, Rollins interfered in the main event where Roman Reigns was defending the Universal Championship against Edge, distracting the referee to cost Edge the match. Over the following weeks, Rollins and Edge confronted and attacked each other until the August 6 episode of ''SmackDown'', where Edge challenged Rollins to a match at SummerSlam, which Rollins accepted. At the event on August 21, Rollins lost to Edge by submission, but won their rematch on the September 10 episode of ''SmackDown''. As part of the 2021 Draft, Rollins was drafted to the Raw brand. On the October 8 episode of ''SmackDown'', Edge demanded a Hell in a Cell match between them, which was made official for Crown Jewel. At the event on October 21, Rollins was defeated by Edge, ending their feud. At Survivor Series on November 21, Rollins took part in the 5-on-5 elimination match on Team Raw and won the match as the sole survivor after eliminating Jeff Hardy.

On the October 25 episode of ''Raw'', Rollins defeated Finn Bálor, Kevin Owens, and Rey Mysterio in a fatal four-way ladder match to become the number one contender for the WWE Championship against Big E at Day 1 on January 1, 2022. Over the following weeks, Owens and Bobby Lashley were also added to the WWE Championship match at Day 1, making it a fatal four-way match, which Rollins lost after Brock Lesnar was added to the match and won the title. That month, he began to work as Seth "Freakin" Rollins. At Royal Rumble on January 29, Rollins faced SmackDown's Roman Reigns for the Universal Championship, winning the match by disqualification but not the title. On February 18, at Elimination Chamber, he failed to win the WWE Championship inside the namesake structure after being eliminated by Lesnar.

Rollins then unsuccessfully attempted to find a spot on the card at WrestleMania 38, until Mr. McMahon announced that Rollins would face an opponent of his choosing on the March 28 episode of ''Raw''. At Night 1 of WrestleMania on April 2, Rollins' opponent was unveiled as the returning Cody Rhodes, who defeated Rollins. At WrestleMania Backlash on May 8, Rollins lost to Rhodes in a rematch. On the following episode of ''Raw'', Rollins attacked and laid out Rhodes during his match for the United States Championship against Theory. The following week, Rhodes challenged Rollins to a match at Hell in a Cell, inside the namesake structure, which Rollins accepted. At the event on June 5, Rollins lost to Rhodes, ending their feud. Rollins then began a feud with Matt Riddle, setting up a match between the two at SummerSlam. However, the match was postponed after Riddle suffered an injury following an attack by Rollins on the July 25 episode of ''Raw''. Despite this, both Rollins and Riddle appeared at SummerSlam on July 30, engaging in a brawl which saw Rollins come out on top. At Clash at the Castle on September 3, Rollins defeated Riddle. On the September 19 episode of ''Raw'', it was announced that they would have a rematch in a Fight Pit match at Extreme Rules on October 8, where Rollins lost to Riddle by submission.

Two nights later on ''Raw'', Rollins defeated Bobby Lashley to win his second United States Championship after Brock Lesnar attacked Lashley before the match. This made him the second wrestler (after The Miz) to become a two-time WWE Grand Slam Champion. The following week on ''Raw'', Rollins retained the title against Riddle, ending their feud. On the November 7 episode of ''Raw'', Rollins issued an open challenge that was answered by Lashley, who attacked Rollins before the match. As a result, Mr. Money in the Bank Austin Theory cashed in his contract, however, Rollins retained the title due to interference from Lashley. Rollins then started a feud with Theory, turning face for the first time since 2019. At Survivor Series WarGames on November 26, Rollins lost the United States Championship to Theory in a triple threat match also involving Lashley, ending his reign at 47 days. On the January 2, 2023 episode of ''Raw'', Rollins failed to regain the title from Theory. On January 28, Rollins entered the Royal Rumble at number 15, but was eliminated by Logan Paul. At Elimination Chamber on February 18, Rollins failed to win the title in an Elimination Chamber match when he was the last person eliminated by Theory after interference from Paul. At Night 1 of WrestleMania 39 on April 1, Rollins defeated Paul. At Backlash on May 6, Rollins defeated Omos.

World Heavyweight Champion (2023–2024)

On the May 8 episode of ''Raw'', Rollins won the right to compete for the newly established World Heavyweight Championship at Night of Champions by first defeating Damian Priest and Shinsuke Nakamura in a triple threat match, then defeating Finn Bálor, who had won a similar triple threat match. At the event on May 27, Rollins defeated AJ Styles in the tournament final to become the inaugural champion. On the June 5 episode of ''Raw,'' Rollins defeated Priest in an open challenge to retain the title. At NXT Gold Rush on June 20, Rollins defeated Bron Breakker to retain the title. On July 1, at Money in the Bank, Rollins successfully defended the title against Bálor after an unintended distraction by Priest, who seemingly had intentions of cashing in his newly won Money in the Bank briefcase, causing the latter to lose the match. At SummerSlam on August 5, Rollins defeated Bálor once again to retain the title. Rollins then entered into a feud with Shinsuke Nakamura, whom he defeated to retain the title on September 2 at Payback and at Fastlane on October 7 in a Last Man Standing match.

At Crown Jewel on November 4, Rollins retained the title against Drew McIntyre. On the November 6 episode of ''Raw'', after retaining the World Heavyweight Championship against Sami Zayn, a brawl ensued between Rollins, Zayn, Cody Rhodes, Jey Uso, and The Judgment Day (Balor, Priest, "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio, and JD McDonagh). Adam Pearce came out to declare a WarGames match between the eight men at Survivor Series. McIntyre was later added to the match, joining forces with The Judgment Day, while a returning Randy Orton joined Rollins' team. At the event on November 25, Rollins' team defeated the Judgment Day. Rollins then retained his title against Uso on the December 4 episode of ''Raw'', McIntyre in a rematch at Day 1 on January 1, 2024, and Jinder Mahal on the January 15 episode of ''Raw''.

The following week, Rollins announced that he would be out of action due to an MCL injury. On the March 4 episode of ''Raw'', Rollins announced that he was medically cleared to compete again and would team up with Rhodes against Roman Reigns and The Rock in the main event of Night 1 of WrestleMania XL on April 6, but they were defeated. The next night, Rollins lost the World Heavyweight Championship to McIntyre, ending his reign at 316 days. However, he appeared later that night during the main event to help Rhodes defeat Reigns. After WrestleMania XL, Rollins underwent surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his knee and would be out of action for an unknown amount of time.

After a two-month hiatus, Rollins made a surprise return on the June 17 episode of ''Raw,'' where Priest challenged him to a title match, which Rollins accepted and was scheduled for Money in the Bank. The following week, Rollins and Priest agreed to a stipulation for the match; if he lost, he would be unable to challenge Priest for the championship as long as he held it, but if he won, Priest would have to leave The Judgment Day. At the event on July 6, which was made a triple threat match with McIntyre cashing in his newly won Money in the Bank contract, Rollins failed to win the title after Priest pinned McIntyre when CM Punk interfered. On August 3, Rollins refereed the match between Punk and McIntyre at SummerSlam, which the latter won. On the following episode of ''Raw'', Rollins was attacked by "Big" Bronson Reed with six ''Tsunamis'', writing Rollins off television to allow him to recover from chronic injury issues. After a month-long absence, Rollins returned on the September 30 episode of ''Raw'' to help Braun Strowman defeat Reed in a Last Monster Standing match. At Crown Jewel on November 2, Rollins defeated Reed.

Alliance with Paul Heyman (2025–present)

At the ''Raw'' premiere on Netflix on January 6, 2025, Rollins lost to Punk. At Royal Rumble on February 1, Rollins entered the titular match at number 25. As he and Reigns attempted to eliminate each other, both were eliminated from behind by Punk. Rollins then proceeded to attack both Reigns and Punk before storming off. On the February 17 episode of ''Raw'', Rollins defeated Finn Bálor to qualify for the Elimination Chamber match at Elimination Chamber: Toronto. At the namesake event, he was eliminated by Punk, but caused the latter to be eliminated in turn by John Cena who subsequently won the match.
In March 2025, his ringname was reverted to simply Seth Rollins. On the March 10 episode of ''Raw'', Rollins and Punk faced each other in a Steel Cage match, which was won by Rollins after a returning Reigns pulled him out of the cage and attacked Rollins in an act of revenge from the Royal Rumble. On the March 21 episode of ''SmackDown'', a brawl ensued between all three men, with Rollins, Reigns, and Punk pointing at the WrestleMania sign, leading to a triple threat match between the three being made official as the Night 1 main event of WrestleMania 41.

On April 19, Night 1 of WrestleMania 41, Rollins defeated Punk and Reigns with the assistance of Paul Heyman, turning heel for the first time since 2022. On the April 21 episode of ''Raw'', Rollins and Heyman added Bron Breakker to their alliance as the trio stood tall over Punk and Reigns to close the show. On the May 5 episode of ''Raw'', Rollins challenged Jey Uso for the World Heavyweight Championship, winning the match via disqualification after being attacked by Punk. However, since titles do not change hands via disqualification or countout unless stipulated, Uso remained champion. On May 24 at Saturday Night's Main Event XXXIX, Rollins and Breakker defeated Punk and Sami Zayn after interference from Bronson Reed, who would go on to join their alliance. At Money in the Bank on June 7, Rollins won the men's Money in the Bank ladder match after interference from Breakker and Reed. With this victory, Rollins became the second wrestler, after Punk, to win the ladder match more than once and the fourth wrestler overall to hold the contract more than once.

Professional wrestling style and persona

Lopez's WWE ring surname is a tribute to singer Henry Rollins. His finisher during his time in FCW was a superkick to a kneeling opponent's head called ''Avada Kedavra'', named after a magic spell that kills people in ''Harry Potter''. For most of his WWE career, he has used the '' Curb Stomp'' as a finishing move; he also used it during his pre-WWE days as Tyler Black, where it was called the ''Blackout''. The move was banned by WWE from March 2015 to January 2018, as then-chairman Vince McMahon thought it looked "too cruel". During this time, Rollins used the '' Pedigree'' and a jumping knee strike called the ''Ripcord Knee'' (and briefly ''King's Landing'') as finishing moves. The move has been simply referred to as the ''Stomp'' since its return, partially to avoid an association with the real-life attack.

Rollins' character throughout his time as a member of The Shield was that of an "out-spoken hot-head who will do crazy things" to help the team, though his methodical approach to their matches earned him the nickname of "The Architect". Following his turn into a villainous character and the team's initial split, he began claiming that he played the single most important role in forming The Shield, referring to himself as the group's creator and emphasizing his "Architect" nickname. In late 2019, after turning into a different kind of villainous character and aligning himself with the AOP, he began to dub himself the "Monday Night Messiah" and compare himself to Jesus while debuting a new entrance song. He also began recruiting new "disciples" into his group, such as Murphy and Austin Theory, while proclaiming himself to be their leader and savior. From 2022 to 2025, he added "Freakin" to his ring name as a way of emphasizing his importance and adopted a persona nicknamed "The Visionary", a boastful and delusional egomaniac with an eccentric personality and outlandish fashion sense.

Personal life

Lopez began dating Irish professional wrestler Rebecca Quin, better known as Becky Lynch, in January 2019. Their daughter, Roux, was born in December 2020. They were married on June 29, 2021. They live in Moline, Illinois.

On February 9, 2015, a nude photo of former NXT wrestler Zahra Schreiber, who reportedly was Lopez's girlfriend, was posted to his social media accounts, the contents of which are automatically republished by WWE.com. Soon after, nude photos of Lopez were posted on the Twitter page of his then-fiancée, Leighla Schultz. In response, Lopez apologized for "private photographs that were distributed without [his] consent". On February 25, 2016, Lopez broke up with Schreiber.

Lopez is a fan of the Chicago Bears and the St. Louis Cardinals. In 2014, he and his former tag team partner Marek Brave started a Moline-based professional wrestling school called The Black & The Brave Wrestling Academy. In 2019, he opened a coffee shop called 329 Dport in his hometown of Davenport, Iowa.

Lopez identifies as an atheist.
