Seth Rollins, the iconic performer and former World Champion of WWE, is sticking around. On Friday night, news broke, as per Fightful Select, that Rollins has inked a new deal with WWE, ensuring his continued work with the company and in the ring. The 37-year-old veteran, who started his WWE journey back in 2010 and ascended to the main roster in 2012, has been a mainstay and one of the biggest stars in the company as WWE has risen again in popularity.
Rollins’ illustrious career boasts five world title reigns, including an impressive stretch as the World Heavyweight Champion, reigning for over 300 days from last year into this year. Despite facing setbacks, such as a knee injury sustained during a title defense against Jinder Mahal in January, Rollins fought back to be the MVP of this year’s WrestleMania, before dropping the title and taking a much-needed break. He has remained a pillar of WWE’s roster, showcasing his resilience, loyalty, and dedication to WWE.
Reports indicate that Rollins’ new contract with WWE spans “several years” and includes a “significant financial package.” WWE sees the value in what he brings and was prepared to make him an offer to ensure he stayed — not that he wanted to go anywhere. His decision to re-sign also sparks speculation about his wife, Becky Lynch’s, future with WWE, with many anticipating her potential renewal as well.

With the details of his new contract secured, Rollins can look forward to getting healthy and returning as part of the Raw brand, alongside fellow superstars like Finn Balor and Drew McIntyre, who have also committed to the company over the past few days.
