The relationship between former WWE Champion Seth Rollins and football is quite intricate, further complicated by today’s Chicago Bears’ defeat against the Indianapolis Colts, along with some on-field embarrassment for the ex-WWE World Heavyweight Champion.
Following a heated moment, Rollins was ejected from the field, which brought joy to the Colts-supporting crowd. This week’s “WWE Raw” takes place in Ontario, CA, but the red brand is scheduled to visit Indiana on September 30, suggesting there may be further developments between the former champion and the ex-Colt.
WWE has been actively engaging in crossovers with various sports, exemplified by Indiana Pacers’ Tyrese Halliburton overseeing the contract signing between NXT Champion Ethan Page and Trick Williams ahead of their upcoming October 1 title match in Chicago, IL.
Due to an assault from “Big” Bronson Reed, Rollins has been missing from “Raw,” having faced multiple Tsunamis from Reed during a recent episode. Despite his absence, Rollins will continue to appear on WWE programming shortly.
Although his contract was originally set to expire in June, WWE opted to re-sign him to a multi-year deal earlier this summer, reflecting the company’s increasing investment in top talent.
Before his break, Rollins sustained a knee injury in January, which resulted in a lighter schedule leading up to WrestleMania, where he was dethroned by Drew McIntyre, who was then quickly replaced by Damian Priest, the holder of the Money in the Bank briefcase.
