Seth Rollins

Colby Daniel Lopez (born May 28, 1986) is an American professional wrestler. As of August 2010, he is signed to WWE, where he performs on the Raw brand under the ring name Seth Rollins. Regarded as one of the best and most versatile professional wrestlers in the world, Rollins topped Pro Wrestling Illustrated's PWI 500 list of the top 500 wrestlers in the world in 2015, 2019, and 2023, was voted as the PWI Wrestler of the Year in 2015 and 2023 and was named Wrestler of the Year by Sports Illustrated in 2022. He is currently out of action, due to a shoulder injury.

Prior to signing with WWE, he wrestled under the ring name Tyler Black for Ring of Honor (ROH). Black held the ROH World Championship once and the ROH World Tag Team Championship twice (with Jimmy Jacobs) and won the 2009 Survival of the Fittest tournament. He also wrestled for various independent promotions including Full Impact Pro, where he was a one-time FIP World Heavyweight Champion, as well as Pro Wrestling Guerrilla, where he was a one-time PWG World Tag Team Champion (also with Jimmy Jacobs).

Lopez signed with WWE in 2010 and was sent to its then-developmental territory Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW), where he was renamed Seth Rollins and became the inaugural FCW Grand Slam Champion. After WWE rebranded its developmental brand from FCW to NXT, he became the inaugural NXT Champion. In November 2012, he debuted on the main roster as a member of the widely popular stable known as The Shield, alongside Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns. He won his first main roster championship, the WWE Tag Team Championship, with Roman Reigns in May 2013; he went on to hold the title six times with various partners. After leaving The Shield in 2014, he joined The Authority, establishing his on-screen character as a leading villain. Since then, he has headlined numerous major pay-per-view and livestreaming events for WWE, including their flagship annual event, WrestleMania, three times (31, 40 – Night 1, and 41 – Night 1).

Rollins is a six-time world champion in WWE, having won the WWE Championship twice, WWE Universal Championship twice, and World Heavyweight Championship twice, being the inaugural champion for the latter. He has also held the Intercontinental Championship and the United States Championship twice each, making him WWE's 29th Triple Crown Champion and 19th Grand Slam Champion, as well as the second wrestler to accomplish the latter twice under the revised 2015 format. Rollins also won the 2014 and 2025 Money in the Bank ladder match, the 2019 Royal Rumble match, and the 2025 WWE Crown Jewel Championship, and is a 10-time Slammy Award winner. Rollins was the first wrestler to cash in a Money in the Bank contract at a WrestleMania, doing so in the main event of the 31st edition. He holds the record for the longest continuous individual performance by a WWE wrestler in television history, performing for 65 minutes straight, whilst defeating Roman Reigns and John Cena in the same night in a Gauntlet match.

Colby Daniel Lopez was born on May 28, 1986 in Davenport, Iowa. He is of Armenian, German, and Irish descent. He gained the Lopez surname from his Mexican-American stepfather, whom he considers his true father. He has a brother and a sister, but did not know this until their existence was revealed by a DNA test in 2019. He graduated from Davenport West High School in 2004. As a teenager, he was an introvert who lived a straight edge lifestyle and was a big fan of rock and heavy metal music. He trained at a wrestling school owned by Danny Daniels on the borders of Chicago and Oak Park.

Lopez made his debut at the age of 19 on August 21, 2004, wrestling in the Iowa independent scene under the ring name Gixx. He then joined Ian Rotten's Independent Wrestling Association Mid-South (IWA) under the name Tyler Black, and entered the Ted Petty Invitational Tournament, defeating Sal Thomaselli before being eliminated by Matt Sydal in the quarterfinals in Hammond, Indiana on September 23, 2005.

He soon joined NWA Midwest and won the promotion's tag team championship with Marek Brave. The two retained the NWA Midwest Tag Team Championship against Ryan Boz and Danny Daniels, Brett Wayne and Hype Gotti and Jayson Reign and Marco Cordova several times in early 2006. He briefly appeared in Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) and teamed with Jeff Luxon in a loss to The Latin American Xchange (Homicide and Hernandez) on Impact! in October 2006.

On May 25, 2007, while in a match with then Full Impact Pro (FIP) Tag Team Champions The Briscoe Brothers (Jay and Mark Briscoe) in Melbourne, Florida, Black's tag team partner Marek Brave suffered a legitimate back injury, leading Black to pursue a singles career by competing in Pro Wrestling Guerrilla (PWG), where he defeated Joey Ryan in his debut on June 10.
