On October 10, Black defeated Kenny King in a first-round match and then Claudio Castagnoli, Colt Cabana, Delirious, Chris Hero and Roderick Strong in the finals to win the 2009 Survival of the Fittest tournament, earning him a ROH World Championship match. On December 19, at ROH's first live pay-per-view, Final Battle, Black wrestled then ROH World Champion Austin Aries to a 60-minute time limit draw. Because of this draw, then ROH commissioner Jim Cornette booked the two in a rematch between February 13, 2010, for the company's Eighth Anniversary Show. The booking saw Cornette set up a judging panel with himself on and one person picked by each competitor, in order for there to be a decisive winner in case of another draw. Aries picked King while Black picked Strong, whom he guaranteed an ROH World Championship title shot should he win. At the event, Black pinned Aries to win the ROH World Championship.

On the September 5 episode of Raw, Rollins attacked Owens during his celebration ceremony, turning face for the first time since 2014. Rollins failed to win the title from Owens at Clash of Champions on September 25 and Hell in a Cell on October 30 due to several interferences from Chris Jericho. At Survivor Series on November 20, Rollins formed part of Team Raw with Owens, Jericho, Braun Strowman and Reigns in a losing effort to Team SmackDown.

Net Worth and Salary
As of 2025, Seth Rollins' net worth is estimated to be around $12 million. His annual salary from WWE is reportedly close to $3 million, positioning him among the top earners in the company. This income is supplemented by endorsement deals, merchandise sales, and TV appearances.
Lopez signed with WWE in 2010 and was sent to its then-developmental territory Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW), where he was renamed Seth Rollins and became the inaugural FCW Grand Slam Champion. After WWE rebranded its developmental brand from FCW to NXT, he became the inaugural NXT Champion. In November 2012, he debuted on the main roster as a member of The Shield alongside Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns. He won his first main roster championship, the WWE Tag Team Championship, with Roman Reigns in May 2013; he went on to hold the title a record six times with Dean Ambrose and various partners. After leaving The Shield in 2014, he joined The Authority, establishing his on-screen character as a leading villain. Since then, he has headlined numerous major pay-per-view and livestreaming events for WWE, including cashing in his 2014 Money in the Bank contract at WrestleMania 31, and main-eventing both WrestleMania XL and WrestleMania 41.
At the Ring of Honor (ROH) pay-per-view taping of Man Up on September 15, 2007, Black made his debut alongside Jimmy Jacobs and Necro Butcher, with the three attacking The Briscoe Brothers, and hanging Jay Briscoe from light rigging fashioned as a noose. The three formed a stable called The Age of the Fall. The angle was so controversial that ROH decided to remove the footage from the pay-per-view that was being taped at the event. Black later made his ROH in-ring debut later that night in a dark match, wrestling Jack Evans to a no contest.
On April 3, Black retained the title in a three-way elimination match against Austin Aries and Roderick Strong at The Big Bang! pay-per-view. He also retained the title against Davey Richards on June 19 at Death Before Dishonor VIII. Black turned into a villain at the August 20 tapings of Ring of Honor Wrestling after news broke that he had signed a developmental contract with World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE). He threatened to take the ROH World Championship with him to WWE and refused to put the championship at stake in a match with Davey Richards on August 28, which he then lost by submission. On September 11, at Glory By Honor IX, in his final ROH appearance, Black lost the ROH World Championship to Roderick Strong in a no disqualification match with Terry Funk as a guest enforcer, ending his reign at 210 days after seven successful title defenses.
On November 18, 2012, at the Survivor Series pay-per-view, Seth Rollins made his main roster debut as a heel alongside Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns, attacking Ryback during the triple threat main event for the WWE Championship, allowing CM Punk to pin John Cena and retain the title. The trio declared themselves The Shield, vowed to rally against "injustice" and denied working for Punk, but routinely emerged from the crowd to attack Punk's adversaries. This led to a Tables, Ladders and Chairs match at TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs on December 16, where The Shield defeated Team Hell No (Daniel Bryan and Kane) and Ryback in their WWE debut match. The Shield continued to aid Punk after TLC, attacking both Ryback and The Rock (at Royal Rumble) in January 2013. It was revealed on the January 28 episode of Raw that Punk and his manager Paul Heyman had been paying The Shield and Brad Maddox to work for them.
Rollins was selected as the captain for Team Raw against Team SmackDown and Team NXT on November 24 at Survivor Series, where Team SmackDown emerged victorious. The following night on Raw, Rollins berated the entire Raw roster for "dropping the ball" and failing to win at the pay-per-view. These comments later drew the attention of Kevin Owens, who attacked Rollins and challenged him to a match, which ended in a disqualification after AOP (Akam and Rezar) attacked Owens. On the December 9 episode of Raw, despite earlier denying an alliance with AOP, Rollins joined them by attacking Owens, turning heel for the first time since 2016.
Business Ventures
Outside of WWE, Rollins has established himself as a brand through strategic endorsement deals and social media presence. His wrestling school and merchandise sales are key components of his diversified income streams.
Praised for his in-ring skills and ability to reinvent his on-screen character, Rollins is regarded as one of the greatest wrestlers active today and of his generation. Rollins topped Pro Wrestling Illustrated's PWI 500 list of the top 500 wrestlers in the world in 2015, 2019, and 2023, was voted as the PWI Wrestler of the Year in 2015 and 2023 and was named Wrestler of the Year by Sports Illustrated in 2022. He was the first wrestler to cash in a Money in the Bank contract at a WrestleMania event and holds the record for the longest televised match in WWE history, performing for 65 minutes whilst defeating Roman Reigns and John Cena in a gauntlet match in the same night.
He soon joined NWA Midwest and won the promotion's tag team championship with Marek Brave. The two retained the NWA Midwest Tag Team Championship against Ryan Boz and Danny Daniels, Brett Wayne and Hype Gotti and Jayson Reign and Marco Cordova several times in early 2006. He briefly appeared in Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) and teamed with Jeff Luxon in a loss to The Latin American Xchange (Homicide and Hernandez) on Impact! in October 2006.
On May 25, 2007, while in a match with then Full Impact Pro (FIP) Tag Team Champions The Briscoe Brothers (Jay and Mark Briscoe) in Melbourne, Florida, Black's tag team partner Marek Brave suffered a legitimate back injury, leading Black to pursue a singles career by competing in Pro Wrestling Guerrilla (PWG), where he defeated Joey Ryan in his debut on June 10.
At Royal Rumble on January 25, Rollins failed to win a triple threat match for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship against Cena and champion Brock Lesnar. At Fastlane on February 22, Rollins, Big Show and Kane defeated Ziggler, Erick Rowan and Ryback. After the match, Orton returned and attacked Noble, Mercury and Kane, while Rollins fled the arena. On March 29, at WrestleMania 31, Rollins lost to Orton. Later that night, Rollins cashed in his Money in the Bank contract during Lesnar and Reigns' WWE World Heavyweight Championship match, turning it into a triple threat match and pinned Reigns to win the title for the first time in his career, making him the first man to cash in his Money in the Bank contract at WrestleMania and during a title match. Rollins continued his feud with Orton after WrestleMania, which led to a steel cage match for the championship with Kane residing as special guest "gatekeeper" at Extreme Rules on April 26, where Rollins retained after interference from the latter. At Payback on May 17, Rollins successfully defended the title against Orton, Reigns, and Ambrose in a fatal-four-way match after pinning Orton. Rollins retained the championship against Ambrose on May 31 at Elimination Chamber after getting himself disqualified, and in a ladder match at Money in the Bank on June 14.
At WrestleMania 34 on April 8, Rollins defeated Finn Bálor and The Miz in a triple threat match to win the Intercontinental Championship for the first time in his career. With his win, Rollins became the twenty-ninth Triple Crown Champion and the eighteenth Grand Slam Champion in WWE history, respectively. He successfully defended the championship against The Miz at Backlash on May 6 and Elias on June 17 at Money in the Bank, before losing it to Dolph Ziggler the following night on Raw after a distraction by Ziggler's ally, Drew McIntyre, ending his reign at 71 days. Rollins failed to regain the title from Ziggler in a 30-minute Iron Man match at Extreme Rules on July 15 after interference from McIntyre.
Rollins then unsuccessfully attempted to find a spot on the card at WrestleMania 38, until Mr. McMahon announced that Rollins would face an opponent of his choosing on the March 28 episode of Raw. At Night 1 of WrestleMania on April 2, Rollins' opponent was unveiled as the returning Cody Rhodes, who defeated Rollins. At WrestleMania Backlash on May 8, Rollins lost to Rhodes in a rematch. On the following episode of Raw, Rollins attacked and laid out Rhodes during his match for the United States Championship against Theory. The following week, Rhodes challenged Rollins to a match at Hell in a Cell, inside the namesake structure, which Rollins accepted. At the event on June 5, Rollins lost to Rhodes, ending their feud. The match received a five-star rating by esteemed wrestling journalist Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, making it the first WWE main roster match to receive a five-star rating since 2011, and the first match of Rollins's career to receive such a rating. Rollins then began a feud with Matt Riddle, setting up a match between the two at SummerSlam. However, the match was postponed after Riddle suffered an injury following an attack by Rollins on the July 25 episode of Raw. Despite this, both Rollins and Riddle appeared at SummerSlam on July 30, engaging in a brawl which saw Rollins come out on top. At Clash at the Castle on September 3, Rollins defeated Riddle. On the September 19 episode of Raw, it was announced that they would have a rematch in a Fight Pit match at Extreme Rules on October 8, where Rollins lost to Riddle by submission.
Lopez's WWE ring surname is a tribute to singer Henry Rollins. His finisher during his time in FCW was a superkick to a kneeling opponent's head called Avada Kedavra, named after a magic spell that kills people in Harry Potter. For most of his WWE career, he has used the Curb Stomp as a finishing move; he also used it during his pre-WWE days as Tyler Black, where it was called the Blackout. The move was banned by WWE from March 2015 to January 2018, as then-chairman Vince McMahon thought it looked "too cruel". During this time, Rollins used the Pedigree and a jumping knee strike called the Ripcord Knee (and briefly King's Landing) as finishing moves. The move has been simply referred to as the Stomp since its return, partially to avoid an association with the real-life attack.
Social Network
Seth Rollins maintains a strong presence on social media platforms, with over 4.5 million followers on Instagram and 4.2 million on X (formerly Twitter). This extensive reach allows him to leverage his fame into lucrative endorsement opportunities.

When WWE rebranded FCW into NXT in August 2012, Rollins' NXT TV debut took place on the second episode of the rebooted NXT at Full Sail University on June 27, when he defeated Jiro. Rollins entered the Gold Rush Tournament to crown the inaugural NXT Champion where he defeated Jinder Mahal in the tournament finals on the August 29 episode of NXT. On the October 10 episode of NXT, Rollins had his first successful defense of his title against Michael McGillicutty.
