Former WWE Champion Seth Rollins revealed that after retiring from wrestling, he hopes to transition into covering the Chicago Bears.
During Super Bowl LIX, Seth Rollins shared his interest in WWE’s backstage operations and sports media, outlining his post-wrestling ambitions.
“I think my long-term future is probably still in the industry, in WWE, in some capacity backstage,” Rollins stated, acknowledging that the current leadership won’t be in charge forever. “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.” He expressed a strong desire to move behind the scenes, particularly in an executive or creative role, saying he wants to dive into the business side of WWE, which has always been his “first love.”
While WWE will likely stay part of Seth Rollins’ future, he also has ambitions to explore opportunities in the sports world.
“We are here, Super Bowl weekend, talking about football, and that is what I love to do,” he said. Rollins has long been a fan of professional football and dreams of one day calling Chicago Bears games. “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.”
When asked about a potential management role in WWE, Seth Rollins admitted that the timing hasn’t been right yet.
“It’s still a ways off,” he admitted. “I’m closer to the end of my career than beginning, but the end ain’t here yet…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.”
While he remains committed to his current wrestling career, Rollins confirmed that he is in the early stages of conversations with WWE about his post-wrestling future. “We’re in the early stages of conversations about what it might look like for me in the future in an executive or creative role,” he shared, adding that discussions are still in the “infancy” stage.
Seth Rollins, a 14-year WWE veteran, has captured multiple world titles, along with Intercontinental, United States, Royal Rumble, and Money in the Bank victories.
While considering his future, Seth Rollins remains focused on his February 17 match against Finn Bálor, which will decide the final entrant in the men’s Elimination Chamber.
Seth Rollins and CM Punk are expected to face Roman Reigns in a triple-threat match at WrestleMania 41, but first, Rollins will challenge Gunther in Germany for the Intercontinental Championship during WWE’s European tour.
