Seth Rollins
Colby Daniel Lopez, better known by his ring name Seth “Freakin” Rollins, is an American professional wrestler. He is currently signed to WWE, where he performs on the Raw brand. Praised for his in-ring skills and ability to reinvent his on-screen character, Rollins is regarded as one of the best professional wrestlers active today and one of the greatest wrestlers of his generation. 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 with Jimmy Jacobs. He gained prominence in ROH and established himself as one of the best professional wrestlers in North America outside WWE. During his time in ROH, he held the ROH World Championship once and the ROH World Tag Team Championship twice (with 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 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 2012, at Survivor Series, he debuted on the main roster with Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns as part of a trio called The Shield. He won his first main roster championship, the WWE Raw Tag Team Championship, with Reigns; he would go on to hold the title a record six times with Ambrose and various other partners. Rollins is a five-time world champion in WWE, having won the WWE Championship twice, 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 Money in the Bank ladder match, the 2015 Slammy Award for Superstar of the Year, and the 2019 Royal Rumble match. He is overall nine-time Slammy Award winner. All totaled, he has won 16 championships in WWE (with all but one on the main roster). He was one of the major elements of WWE's Reality Era and remains a central fixture in its New Era. After leaving The Shield in 2014, he joined The Authority, establishing his on-screen character as a leading villain. Since then, he has become one of the company's top heroic figures and has headlined numerous major PPV and livestreaming events for WWE, including WrestleMania XL. 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 Reigns and John Cena in the same night.
