Seth Rollins is an American professional wrestler best known for his success in WWE, where he has held multiple championships, including the Universal Championship.
Born Colby Lopez on May 28, 1986, in Buffalo, Iowa, Seth Rollins is of Armenian, German, and Irish descent. He attended Davenport West High School and grew up with limited exposure to professional wrestling, but his interest grew during his teenage years through a close-knit group of friends. Rollins later trained at a wrestling school in Chicago, beginning a career that would lead him to international stardom. Before joining WWE, he gained prominence under the ring name Tyler Black, competing in Ring of Honor (ROH), where he notably became ROH World Champion.
Rollins adopted his current ring name when he signed with WWE in 2010. He made his in-ring debut in WWE's developmental territory, Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW), where he defeated Trent Barreta in his first match. In 2011, he captured the inaugural FCW 15 Championship. As WWE rebranded FCW to NXT, Rollins became the first NXT Champion, a key milestone that helped establish his reputation in the company.
Rollins gained mainstream attention in late 2012 when he formed the faction known as The Shield alongside Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns. The group debuted at Survivor Series by interfering in the main event to aid CM Punk in defeating John Cena and Ryback. The Shield became one of WWE's most dominant stables until its breakup in 2014, when Rollins turned on his teammates under the direction of Triple H and aligned himself with The Authority.
Rollins enjoyed rapid success as a singles competitor. He won the Money in the Bank contract in 2014 and successfully cashed it in at WrestleMania 31 to win the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, marking one of the most memorable title cash-ins in WWE history. In August 2015, he also became the first wrestler to hold both the WWE World Heavyweight and United States Championships simultaneously. However, later that year, he suffered a serious knee injury, tearing his ACL, MCL, and meniscus, which sidelined him for over eight months.
After returning in 2016, Rollins reclaimed his position at the top of the roster by capturing various titles and main-eventing several pay-per-view events. His adaptability in the ring and compelling storylines continued to solidify his legacy.
In 2019, Rollins defeated Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 35 to win the Universal Championship. His victory ended Lesnar’s controversial part-time reign and was met with overwhelming support from fans eager for a more visible and active champion. Rollins’ win symbolized a shift in WWE’s direction and established him as the face of the RAW brand during that era.
Seth Rollins is engaged to fellow WWE superstar Becky Lynch, whose real name is Rebecca Quin. Their relationship became public in May 2019 and was later incorporated into WWE storylines, including a notable tag team match at the Stomping Grounds pay-per-view event in June 2019. The couple welcomed a daughter, Roux, in December 2020, and were married in June 2021.
Before his relationship with Becky Lynch, Rollins dated Sarah Alesandrelli from late 2016 to 2018. He had also been in a relationship with Leighla Schultz between 2013 and 2014, and briefly with wrestler Zahra Schreiber in 2015. His personal life once drew public attention following a controversy involving leaked personal photos, but Rollins later addressed the situation and remained focused on his professional career.
