Seth Rollins Predicts His Chicago Bears' 2026 Season

Seth Rollins does not do lukewarm, and he did not bring lukewarm energy to The Rich Eisen Show when the subject turned to his Chicago Bears. Handed the 2026 schedule, the WWE star went game by game, and he came out the other side with a bold verdict: 13-4, NFC North champions, and the number one seed.

"Super Bowl bound, baby," Rollins declared. "Iceman from start to finish."

The optimism started early. Rollins had the Bears opening with a win at Carolina, then handling the Vikings at home, then knocking off the Eagles on Monday Night Football. That Philadelphia matchup carried weight for him. He remembered last season's post-Thanksgiving game against Philly as the one he was most terrified of, and the Bears won it anyway. This time, he expected another dominant night.

From 3-0, Rollins kept rolling. A home win over the Jets pushed Chicago to 4-0 before the first real test, a trip to Green Bay. There, he tapped the brakes. "I'll take an L there just because it's the first game at Lambeau after three home games in a row," Rollins said.

He was not shy about picking on opponents. Rollins said he did not believe in Atlanta yet but still took the road win. He predicted the Bears would "beat the brakes off" New England on a short-week Thursday nighter, adding that he thinks the Patriots are due for a big step back. Miami got no respect at all, with Rollins suggesting the Dolphins "may not win a game all season long."

The losses he did concede came with reasons. He gave a road game at the champion Seahawks to Seattle, though he promised that a win there would have him betting the house on a Super Bowl. He took an L on Thanksgiving at Detroit, still stung by getting "kind of owned" by the Lions twice last season. And he handed Buffalo the edge on a Saturday game simply because it was in Buffalo.

The personal touches gave the segment its charm. Rollins said he plans to be in attendance for the Christmas Day game against the Packers, and he called his shot on a win. He is confident about a season sweep of Minnesota, where he will be soon for SummerSlam, arguing the Vikings are in for a tough year and that their quarterback situation is "not Sam Darnold 2.0."

It all added up to 13-4 and the division crown. Rich floated the obvious follow-up: does that mean the one seed in the NFC? Rollins did not blink. "Yeah, I think so. Why not? Let's go."
