This past weekend, in a bold display of athletic absurdity, WWE’s very own Seth “I Laugh in the Face of Sanity” Rollins was ejected from an NFL game between the Chicago Bears and Indianapolis Colts. The drama unfolded as former Colts wide receiver T.Y. Hilton took a break from retirement and decided to audition for a new gig – WWE Superstar Launcher – by yeeting Rollins straight onto the Lucas Oil Stadium field. While onlookers thought a new NFL season had started, they were mistaken. It was just an impromptu wrestling match no one asked for but everyone deserved.
Naturally, Rollins took to X (the artist formerly known as Twitter) to share his feelings, and boy, were they concise: “I. Hate. Football.” That’s right, folks—3 words, 1 grudge, infinite meme potential.
Was this whole debacle just a ridiculous stunt? Absolutely. But could it lead to something bigger, like T.Y. Hilton powerbombing linebackers on WrestleMania or Seth Rollins perfecting a new finishing move called “The Punt Return”? We can dream. For now, it seems that Rollins might want revenge on Hilton, but let’s not forget—he’s still nursing his bruised ego after being flattened by Bronson Reed on WWE Raw last month. And Reed is a literal wall with legs, so Hilton might have to get in line.
WWE and the NFL are no strangers to collaboration. Last year, the two powerhouse brands teamed up to create custom title belts for each NFL team. While it’s unclear if Rollins getting tossed around like a football was part of this partnership, one thing’s for sure—the internet has questions, and Rollins is more than ready to answer them with a cold stare and a sarcastic laugh.
