Signature

Colby Daniel Lopez (born May 28, 1986) is an American professional wrestler. He is signed to WWE, where he performs on the Raw brand under the ring name Seth "Freakin" Rollins.

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. 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 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 Raw Tag Team Championship,[a] with Reigns in May 2013; he went on to hold the title a record six times with 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 PPV and livestreaming events for WWE, including WrestleMania XL.

Rollins is a five-time world champion in WWE, having won the WWE Championship[b] 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 an overall nine-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.[6] 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.[7][8] 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.[9]

Colby Daniel Lopez was born in Davenport, Iowa,[10] on May 28, 1986.[1][11] He is of Armenian, German, and Irish descent.[12] He gained the Lopez surname from his Mexican-American stepfather, whom he considers his true father.[12] He has a brother and a sister, but did not know this until their existence was revealed by a DNA test in 2019.[13] He graduated from Davenport West High School in 2004.[1] As a teenager, he was an introvert who lived a straight edge lifestyle and was a big fan of rock and heavy metal music.[14] He trained at a wrestling school owned by Danny Daniels on the borders of Chicago and Oak Park.[12]

Lopez made his debut at the age of 19 on August 21, 2004,[5] wrestling in the Iowa independent scene under the ring name Gixx.[1][15][16] 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.[17]

He soon joined NWA Midwest and won the promotion's tag team championship with Marek Brave.

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,[20] 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.[21]

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.[22][23] At FIP's event on December 20, Black defeated Go Shiozaki to win the FIP World Heavyweight Championship.[24] 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.[24]

Ring of Honor

The Age of the Fall (2007–2009)

Main article: The Age of the Fall

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.[25] The angle was so controversial that ROH decided to remove the footage from the pay-per-view that was being taped at the event.[16] Black later made his ROH in-ring debut later that night in a dark match, wrestling Jack Evans to a no contest.[16]

At Glory by Honor VI in November, Black defeated Alex "Sugarfoot" Payne, but was attacked by The Briscoe Brothers following the match.[26] He appeared with The Age of the Fall in their match against The Briscoe Brothers during the main event.[27] At Final Battle on December 30, Black and Jacobs defeated The Briscoe Brothers to win the ROH World Tag Team Championship.[28] 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.[28]

At Take No Prisoners on May 30, Black unsuccessfully challenged Nigel McGuinness for the ROH World Championship.[29] At Up For Grabs, Black and Jacobs won an eight-team tournament to win their second ROH World Tag Team Championship.[28] The two lost the championship at Driven on November 14 to the team of Kevin Steen and El Generico.[28] 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.[29]

ROH World Champion and departure (2009–2010)

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,[34] whom he guaranteed an ROH World Championship title shot should he win. At the event, Black pinned Aries to win the ROH World Championship.[35][36]

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.[37] He also retained the title against Davey Richards on June 19 at Death Before Dishonor VIII.[38] 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).[39] 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.[39][40] 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.[41]

In July 2011, Rollins began a feud with Dean Ambrose.[52] Ambrose and Rollins had their first match for the FCW 15 Championship in a 15-minute Iron Man match on the August 14 episode of FCW, which ended in a draw with neither men scoring a fall and, as a result, Rollins retained his title.[53] A subsequent 20-minute rematch for the title two weeks later resulted in a similar 0–0 draw.[53] A second 30-minute rematch for the title on the September 18 episode of FCW went to a time limit 2–2 draw and the match was sent into sudden death overtime, where Rollins scored a pinfall to win the match 3–2.[53] On September 22, Rollins lost the FCW 15 Championship to Damien Sandow by disqualification after Ambrose attacked Sandow late in the match.[54][55] On February 23, 2012, Rollins defeated Leo Kruger to become the new FCW Florida Heavyweight Champion.[56] Rollins lost the championship to Rick Victor at a house show on May 31.[57]

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.[69] The trio declared themselves The Shield, vowed to rally against "injustice" and denied working for Punk,[70][71] but routinely emerged from the crowd to attack Punk's adversaries.[72][73] 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.[74] The Shield continued to aid Punk after TLC, attacking both Ryback and The Rock (at Royal Rumble) in January 2013.[75][76] 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.[77]

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,[78][79] which The Shield won.[80] On April 7, they defeated Sheamus, Big Show and Randy Orton at WrestleMania 29.[81][82] The following night on Raw, The Shield attempted to attack The Undertaker, but were stopped by Team Hell No.[83] This set up a six-man tag team match on the April 22 episode of Raw, which The Shield won.[84] 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.[85]

Rollins then entered a feud with AJ Styles,[209][210] retaining the Universal Championship against him on May 19 at Money in the Bank.[211] Rollins successfully defended the title against Corbin at Super ShowDown on June 7,[212] and at Stomping Grounds on June 23; the latter title defense featured Lacey Evans as special guest referee. He won with assistance of his real-life wife and Raw Women's Champion Becky Lynch to overcome the biased refereeing from Evans.[213] Rollins and Lynch defeated Corbin and Evans at Extreme Rules on July 14 in a Winner Takes All Extreme Rules match mixed tag team match. Afterwards, Rollins lost the title to Lesnar, who cashed in his Money in the Bank contract, ending his reign at 98 days.[214] The following night on Raw, Rollins won a ten-man battle royal for the right to face Lesnar for the championship at SummerSlam by last eliminating Randy Orton.[215] At the event on August 11, Rollins defeated Lesnar to regain the championship, making him the second wrestler to hold the Universal Championship more than once. He also became the first superstar to defeat Lesnar at both WrestleMania and SummerSlam.[216]

On the August 19 episode of Raw, Rollins won his record-tying fifth Raw Tag Team Championship along with Braun Strowman when they defeated Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows.[217] At Clash of Champions on September 15, Rollins and Strowman lost the titles to Dolph Ziggler and Robert Roode.[218] Later that night, Rollins retained the Universal Championship against Strowman but was attacked by "The Fiend" Bray Wyatt after the match.[219] At Hell in a Cell on October 6, Rollins defended his title against The Fiend in a Hell in a Cell match that ended in referee stoppage after The Fiend was buried under several weapons and hit with a sledgehammer by Rollins, a decision which was negatively received by critics and fans.[220][221] On October 31, at Crown Jewel, Rollins lost the Universal Championship to The Fiend in a falls count anywhere match, ending his second reign at 80 days.[222]

The Messiah (2019–2020)

Rollins was selected as the captain for Team Raw against Team SmackDown and Team NXT on November 24 at Survivor Series,[223] where Team SmackDown emerged victorious.[224] The following night on Raw, Rollins berated the entire Raw roster for "dropping the ball" and failing to win at the pay-per-view. These comments later drew the attention of Kevin Owens, who attacked Rollins and challenged him to a match, which ended in a disqualification after AOP (Akam and Rezar) attacked Owens.[225] On the December 9 episode of Raw, despite earlier denying an alliance with AOP, Rollins joined them by attacking Owens, turning heel for the first time since 2016.[226]

After this, Rollins began calling himself the "Monday Night Messiah" while stating that he was "sacrificing" his opponents for "the greater good" and created a faction with AOP and Buddy Murphy.[227][228] Rollins and Murphy defeated The Viking Raiders to win the Raw Tag Team Championship on the January 20, 2020 episode of Raw, becoming a record six-time champion.[229] Rollins competed in the Royal Rumble on January 26, as the final entrant, but was eliminated by eventual winner Drew McIntyre.[230] Rollins and Murphy retained the titles against The Street Profits at Super ShowDown on February 27,[231] but lost the titles to them on the March 2 episode of Raw.[232] Rollins and Murphy failed to reclaim the championship from the Street Profits at Elimination Chamber six days later.[233] At WrestleMania 36 on April 4, Rollins lost to Owens in No Disqualification match, ending the feud.[234] At Money in the Bank on May 10, Rollins unsuccessfully challenged McIntyre for the WWE Championship.[235]

The next night on Raw, Rollins attacked Rey Mysterio and injured his eye with the steel ring steps.[236] On the May 18 episode of Raw, Rollins recruited Austin Theory as a member of his faction.[237] 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.[238][239] At The Horror Show at Extreme Rules on July 19, Rollins won the match after using the ring steps to remove Mysterio's eye.[240] 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.[241] On August 30, Rollins and Murphy lost to Rey and Dominik Mysterio at Payback.[242]

On the October 5 episode of Raw, Murphy attacked Rollins after he refused to apologize to him, thus ending their alliance.[243] As part of the 2020 WWE draft in October, Rollins was drafted to the SmackDown brand.[244] On the November 20 episode of SmackDown, Rollins lost to Murphy to end the feud.[245] 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.[246]

The Visionary (2021–2023)

At the Royal Rumble on January 31, 2021, Rollins entered at #29, but was eliminated by eventual winner Edge.[247] On Night 1 of WrestleMania 37 on April 10, Rollins lost to Cesaro,[248] but won a rematch at Hell in a Cell on June 20.[249] 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,[250] which was won by Big E.[251] 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.[252] 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.[253] At the event on August 21, Rollins lost to Edge by submission,[254] but won their rematch on the September 10 episode of SmackDown.[255] As part of the 2021 Draft, Rollins was drafted to the Raw brand.[256] On the October 8 episode of SmackDown, Edge demanded a Hell in a Cell match between them, which was made official for Crown Jewel.[257] At the event on October 21, Rollins was defeated by Edge, ending their feud.[258] 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.[259]

The match received a five-star rating by esteemed wrestling journalist Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, making it the first WWE main roster match to receive a five-star rating since 2011, and the first match of Rollins's career to receive such a rating.[272]

Rollins in October 2022

Rollins then began a feud with Matt Riddle, setting up a match between the two at SummerSlam.[273] However, the match was postponed after Riddle suffered an injury following an attack by Rollins on the July 25 episode of Raw.[274] Despite this, both Rollins and Riddle appeared at SummerSlam on July 30, engaging in a brawl which saw Rollins come out on top.[275] At Clash at the Castle on September 3, Rollins defeated Riddle.[276] 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,[277] where Rollins lost to Riddle by submission.[278]

As a result, Mr. Money in the Bank Austin Theory cashed in his contract, however, Rollins retained the title due to interference from Lashley.[282] Rollins then started a feud with Theory, turning face for the first time since 2019.[283] 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.[284] On the January 2, 2023 episode of Raw, Rollins failed to regain the title from Theory.[285] On January 28, Rollins entered the Royal Rumble at #15, but was eliminated by Logan Paul.[286] 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.[287] At Night 1 of WrestleMania 39 on April 1, Rollins defeated Paul.[288] At Backlash on May 6, Rollins defeated Omos.[289]

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.[290] At the event on May 27, Rollins defeated AJ Styles in the tournament final to become the inaugural champion.[291] On the June 5 episode of Raw, Rollins defeated Priest in an open challenge to retain the title.[292] At NXT Gold Rush on June 20, Rollins defeated Bron Breakker to retain the title.[293] 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.[294] At SummerSlam on August 5, Rollins defeated Bálor once again to retain the title.[295] Rollins then entered into a feud with Shinsuke Nakamura,[296][297] whom he defeated to retain the title on September 2 at Payback[298] and at Fastlane on October 7 in a Last Man Standing match.[299]

At Crown Jewel on November 4, Rollins retained the title against Drew McIntyre.[300] 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).

However, he appeared later that night during the main event to help Rhodes defeat Reigns.[310] 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.[311]

Return from injury (2024–present)

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.[312] 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.[313] 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.[314] On August 3, Rollins refereed the match between Punk and McIntyre at SummerSlam, which the latter won.[315] 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.[316][317] 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.[318] At Crown Jewel on November 2, Rollins defeated Reed.[319]

Professional wrestling style and persona

Rollins performing the Stomp on Baron Corbin

Lopez's WWE ring surname is a tribute to singer Henry Rollins.[320] 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.[321] 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.[322][323] The move was banned by WWE from March 2015 to January 2018, as then-chairman Vince McMahon thought it looked "too cruel".[324] During this time, Rollins used the Pedigree[325] and a jumping knee strike called the Ripcord Knee (and briefly King's Landing) as finishing moves.[326] The move has been simply referred to as the Stomp since its return, partially to avoid an association with the real-life attack.[327]

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".[328] 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.[228][329] In 2021, 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.[330][331] Their daughter was born in December 2020.[332][333] They were married on June 29, 2021.[334] They live in Moline, Illinois.[335]

On February 9, 2015, a nude photo of former NXT wrestler Zahra Schreiber, who reportedly was Lopez's girlfriend,[336] was posted to his social media accounts, the contents of which are automatically republished by WWE.com.[337] Soon after, nude photos of Lopez were posted on the Twitter page of his then-fiancée,[338] Leighla Schultz.[339] In response, Lopez apologized for "private photographs that were distributed without [his] consent".[340] On February 25, 2016, Lopez broke up with Schreiber.[341]

Lopez is a fan of the Chicago Bears and the St. Louis Cardinals.[12] 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.[342] In 2019, he opened a coffee shop called 329 Dport in his hometown of Davenport, Iowa.[343]
