Seth Rollins Opens Up About WWE Future & Potential Career Beyond Wrestling

Seth Rollins, one of WWE’s most decorated superstars, has shed light on his long-term future in the industry. At 38 years old, the former multi-time champion remains one of the biggest names in professional wrestling. As he gears up for an Elimination Chamber qualifying match against Finn Balor on the February 17 episode of Raw, Rollins has his eyes set on another WrestleMania championship match.

Rollins Teases a Backstage Role in WWE

After 12 years as an in-ring performer, Rollins has begun discussing his post-wrestling career and the possibility of transitioning into a backstage or executive role within WWE. Speaking with Bloomberg, he shared insight into his future plans:

“I mean, it’s still a ways off obviously. I’m closer to the end of my career than the beginning, but the end isn’t here yet. I’m in my prime right now—38 years old. My mental and physical states are locked in, where my physical hasn’t declined too much, and my mental side is really on the rise as I start to see the industry from a different angle.”

Rollins confirmed that early conversations have begun about his potential role behind the scenes in WWE, whether in creative, executive, or another leadership capacity.

“We’re in the early stages of conversations about what it might look like for me in the future, whether it’s an executive or creative role. Right now, I’m still focused on what I do in the ring and helping the company in the best way I can.”

Beyond WWE: Rollins’ Passion for Football and Sports Media

While WWE seems to be his long-term home, Rollins also expressed interest in sports media, particularly in broadcasting NFL games. A lifelong Chicago Bears fan, he revealed his ultimate dream:

“I’d love to parlay my love for professional football into a broadcasting gig. My ultimate goal is to be in the broadcast booth calling Chicago Bears games on Sundays. That would be fantastic for me. Maybe sports media is in the future, but I think long-term, we’re probably looking at Seth Rollins in WWE for a long time.”

Potential WrestleMania 41 Rivalry with CM Punk & Roman Reigns

With WrestleMania 41 on the horizon, Rollins is heavily rumored to be involved in a high-profile rivalry against CM Punk and Roman Reigns. If the speculation proves true, this could be one of the most anticipated storylines in recent years.

Rollins Takes a Jab at AEW in NBA-Inspired Comparison

Rollins also made headlines with a bold statement about AEW, drawing a parallel between NBA trades and the current wrestling landscape. Speaking with Sirius XM Sports, he compared LeBron James to John Cena, stating that AEW lacks a talent of that caliber:

“You’ll make some headlines with this one. I don’t think there is anybody in AEW that’s on that level. If you’re looking at a LeBron-level talent, that’s like John Cena. Maybe you could compare MJF to Luka Doncic, but that’s about it.”

Final Thoughts

While Seth Rollins remains laser-focused on his in-ring career, his future in WWE appears secure in some backstage or leadership role. With potential feuds brewing and a WrestleMania championship run in his sights, The Visionary is showing no signs of slowing down. Whether in the ring, behind the scenes, or in a broadcast booth, Rollins’ influence on professional wrestling will continue for years to come.
