Over the weekend, Seth Rollins found himself ejected from the Chicago Bears’ game against the Indianapolis Colts after being thrown onto the field by former Colts wide receiver T.Y. Hilton.
This surprising incident hints at a potential storyline brewing between the two, prompting Rollins to express his dissatisfaction on X (formerly Twitter). “I. Hate. Football,” Rollins posted, indicating his frustration with the events that revealed at Lucas Oil Stadium on September 22.
It remains uncertain whether Hilton is on a path to becoming another wrestler with a football background or if this stadium incident was simply a one-time occurrence. However, Rollins taking bumps in public suggests he may be gearing up for a WWE return.
He has been out of action since being taken down by Bronson Reed on the August 5 episode of “WWE Raw.” When Rollins eventually makes his return to television, he will likely have unfinished business with Reed, potentially sidelining any immediate focus on Hilton.
Last year, WWE entered into a multi-year partnership with the NFL to create championship belts showcasing the colors and branding of all league teams. As of now, it’s unclear whether Rollins and Hilton’s incident is tied to this collaboration, but it certainly has generated buzz in both the wrestling and football communities.
