WWE Superstar Seth Rollins stopped by fresh off a Good Morning Football hit and on his way to WrestleMania 42 in Las Vegas, and the conversation covered zero gravity, Gunther, craft coffee, Die Hard, and the Chicago Bears opening the 2026 season.
It opened with a viral video, possibly Artemis 2 astronauts running wrestling moves in zero gravity. Rollins did not commit to its authenticity but lit up at the concept. He has always wanted to feel weightless. If a WrestleMania ever ends up on the moon, he is volunteering. The move he wants to hit in zero G: a curb stomp.
The actual match at WrestleMania is his first back after a six-month injury layoff, going one-on-one with Gunther. Rollins missed one WrestleMania in his career and called it one of his lowest moments. He is not running in for a cameo, he is working a contest with a performer he has known since the man wrestled as Walter in Germany's wXw. Asked whether he would do a Gunther and call his shot publicly, Rollins declined to predict an outcome but promised the WrestleMania version of Seth Rollins.
The weekend before Vegas is not exactly rest. Rollins and his wife, WWE superstar Becky Lynch, are launching their coffee brand AMO at the World of Coffee festival in San Diego. They roast with a local Los Angeles roaster called Deglo. Rollins is into adventurous flavor profiles, including a watermelon co-ferment, plus a chocolate strawberry blend and a lighter brew for range. He and Rebecca both came into the relationship as coffee drinkers, cultivated the habit hunting shops city by city during the 2019 and post-COVID touring years, and decided to share it with their fans. Nobody else in WWE is in the coffee space. The closest comp is Steve Austin's Broken Skull IPAs.
Rich learned mid-segment that Rollins has never seen Die Hard. A clean blank slate, Rollins does not even know the Christmas-movie-or-not debate in any real detail. Rich assigned homework: watch it on a big screen, come back with an opinion.
The close was Bears-coded. Rollins wants Chicago at Seattle to open the 2026 season. Rich walked through the other candidates, Cowboys last year, Chiefs uncertainty with Mahomes in May, Patriots at Seahawks as a Super Bowl rematch play, Giants in the mix. Rollins wants smoke. He wants to know immediately whether Ben Johnson's Bears are legit or another flash, and Rich agreed the Bears in Seattle makes ratings sense since that would have been the NFC Championship game if Chicago had beaten the Rams.
Rollins also confirmed No Contest Wrestling, with TJ Jefferson, is hosting ESPN2's WrestleMania pre-show coverage on Friday night. Rich's closing line after all the coffee talk landed the segment: if it is anything like his show, Rollins walks in with a limp.
