Club Shay Shay sits down with one of the most accomplished and influential superstars in professional wrestling history, Seth Rollins, for a candid, in-depth conversation with host Shannon Sharpe that traces his life, career, and legacy inside and outside the ring.


Seth reflects on growing up in a small town in Buffalo, Iowa, being adopted at a young age, and the powerful role his stepfather played in his life. Despite what he describes as a “broken upbringing,” Seth credits strong male role models, unconditional love, and work ethic for shaping the man he is today. Seth opens up about learning more about his heritage through 23andMe and reconnecting with his biological family later in life. While he holds no resentment toward his biological father, Seth shares that they have never met in person and have had minimal contact, as his father has not shown interest in building a relationship. He does, however, remain in touch with his half sister, and credits the strong male role models in his life for giving him peace and perspective around that situation.


The conversation turns to the moment that changed everything—attending his first professional wrestling event at just five years old. Inspired by legends like Hulk Hogan, Shawn Michaels, and Bret “The Hitman” Hart, Seth realized early on that you didn’t have to be the biggest athlete to become a star. At 14, he told his parents he was done with basketball and fully committed to becoming a professional wrestler.


Seth details his grind on the independent circuit starting at 17, the financial struggles of chasing his dream, and ultimately dropping out of college with his mother’s support to go all in. He discusses mentorship from Joey Mercury, nearly signing with TNA, and why he was willing to wait years for the opportunity to join WWE because it was the only place he wanted to be.


After moving to Florida to train, Seth breaks down the rise of The Shield alongside Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose, how social media amplified their momentum, and why their shocking breakup became a defining moment in wrestling history—launching all three men to the top of the industry.


Seth also discusses owning the Black and Brave Wrestling Academy, wrestling through injuries, adapting as both a babyface and a heel, and learning to connect with audiences through storytelling, signature moves, and finishing sequences. He reflects on his relationship with Vince McMahon, iconic matches, and moments that shaped his career.


Seth reflects on his legacy, including his Mount Rushmore of wrestlers, evolving friendships—most notably his real-life fallout with CM Punk—celebrity crossovers entering the WWE ring, and crazy fan interactions. He also opens up about life with his wife Becky Lynch, fatherhood, and how they balance two demanding careers while raising a toddler. The episode closes with Seth sharing his thoughts on longevity in wrestling, his lifelong loyalty to the Chicago Bears, and his bold Super Bowl prediction.


This is a must-watch episode for wrestling fans, athletes, and anyone chasing a dream—proof that greatness is built through patience, resilience, and loving the journey.
