WWE’s business has been on fire since Triple H took over the main roster creative in the summer of 2022, with the product not being this hot since the Attitude Era.
One of its top stars has been Seth Rollins, who was awarded the World Heavyweight Title when it was reintroduced in 2023. Now, Rollins is expected to face CM Punk and Roman Reigns in a triple threat match at WrestleMania 41.
While speaking with Bloomberg’s Kim Bhasin, Rollins commented on his future once he retires from wrestling…
“I think my long-term future is probably still in the industry, in WWE, in some capacity backstage. I think someone’s gonna have to run that place eventually, you know, after the current regime has decided that they’re done with it so, I like to fancy myself as someone who might be interested in that and so, I wanna learn kind of that side of things and that’s my first love. But, I do have an interest in dabbling. I’ve done some acting, some little bit roles. That’s not the most fun thing for me, but we are here, Super Bowl weekend, talking about football, and that is what I love to do. I would love to be able to somehow parlay my love for professional football into a gig. My ultimate goal is to be in the broadcast booth and call Chicago Bears games on Sundays. That would be a fantastic thing for me, so we’ll keep pushing for that, and maybe sports media is in the future, but I do think long-term, we’re probably looking at Seth Rollins in WWE for a long time.”
Rollins continued, “I mean, it’s still a ways off obviously. I mean, I’m closer to the end of my career than the beginning, but the end ain’t here yet, so I’m kind of in my prime right now. I’m 38 years old. My mental and my physical are kind of locked in right now where my physical hasn’t declined too much, and my mental side is really on the rise as I’m starting to see the industry from a different angle, so that part I’m really focused on. I think we’re in the early stages of conversations about what it might look like for me in the future in an executive or in a creative role or whatever that may be. But, again, that’s in its infancy. That’s like a, ‘Hey, maybe what would you think down the road?’ So, right now, I’m focused on what I’m doing in the ring and helping out there as best I can.”
Seth Rollins vs. Finn Balor in an Elimination Chamber qualifying match will take place on tonight’s episode of Raw.
