Seth Rollins believes he and Becky Lynch complement each other well in their “fantastic” WWE partnership.
After previously working together as babyfaces in 2019, the husband-and-wife duo of Rollins and Lynch are now back aligned on-screen as heels. They’ll be teaming together in one of the top matches at WWE Wrestlepalooza this Saturday, where they are set to take on CM Punk and the returning AJ Lee in a mixed tag bout.
Rollins was a guest on ESPN’s Unsportsmanlike this week and opened up about what’s been like to work alongside his wife.
“I think what it boils down to for me is: iron sharpens iron. You know, we met through this industry. We met in 2015 or something like that, 2014, became friends, both started to kind of rise up at the same time, found each other romantically,” Rollins said. “And then we’ve been able to really use each other as a resource. And to get out there and perform with her, the way she preps is different than how I prep, and the way she performs and interacts is different. So we get to learn from each other, we get to bounce stuff off of each other.
“And another thing is: we understand the grind. We understand what it takes on the other side of it. So there’s no pressure. It’s like — the ease with which we’re able to communicate, I think makes the partnership on-screen fantastic, obviously off-screen makes life super easy and fun.”
Rollins praised Lynch as someone who has transcended the industry and taken women’s wrestling to new heights.
“She is actually the greatest of all time. This is the first woman to main event WrestleMania. That’s our Super Bowl,” he said. “She’s a mother, she’s an athlete, she’s an entertainer, she does everything. And she has transcended our industry and taken female wrestling to heights no one ever could have dreamed of.”
Rollins and Lynch have been married since 2021 and have one child together: a four-year-old daughter named Roux.
Both Rollins and Lynch are champions right now, respectively holding the World Heavyweight Championship and Women’s Intercontinental Championship.
Wrestlepalooza is taking place in Indianapolis on Saturday. With a start time of 7 p.m. Eastern, the PLE will stream live on ESPN’s new streaming service in the United States and on Netflix internationally.
