Fan Who Attacked Seth Rollins Apparently Catfished By Fake Rollins Social Media Account

As per a report, the fan who attacked Seth Rollins apparently did so because he was scammed by a fake Rollins social media account.

It certainly doesn’t excuse a fan jumping over the railing at a WWE live event and attacking a performer, but according to a report, the reason one took aim at Seth Rollins on Monday night was that he was prompted to do so on social media.

According to wrestling reporter Sean Ross Sapp, “The guy who attacked Seth Rollins got scammed and catfish by a fake Seth Rollins account. Welp”. This news comes as an update after it was reported WWE was filing charges against Elisah Spencer, 24, who attacked Rollins as he was leaving the entryway post his segment with Finn Balor in the first hour of Monday Night Raw. Spencer has been charged with attempted assault and attempted violation of arts and cultural affairs.

It’s a strange development in a story that caught a ton of attention Monday evening and has been discussed on Tuesday after Chavo Guerrero took to Twitter and said, “Remember when the wrestlers were tougher than the fans? Ah, the good ol’ days.” The fact that Spencer might have been egged on by a fake social media account pretending to be Rollins is hard to wrap one’s head around. The suggestion here would be that someone posed as Rollins and dared the 24-year-old to try and get at him during the show. The alternative would be that he was upset he was scammed and took it out on the real Rollins.

While it cannot be confirmed, there are also reports that the fake account convinced Spencer to send them money and clearly took advantage of him and his being totally unaware he was being scammed.

Regardless of how this all turns out, the real Seth Rollins should be commended for how he reacted. Not only did he get the attacker in a choke until officials stepped in, but he didn’t do much more than drop a few choice words. From there, when he came back out to the ring, he jokingly looked around the arena as a good heel would do to see if anyone else might have had the same idea.

Seth Rollins Attacked By Fan During RAW Broadcast, WWE Released A Statement

WWE Superstar Seth Rollins was attacked by a fan as he made his way up the ramp during the November 22 edition of Monday Night Raw.

Seth Rollins was tackled from behind by a fan during this week’s edition of Monday Night Raw.

The incident occurred at the Barclay’s Center in Brooklyn, New York on Monday, November 22 — the night after 2021’s Survivor Series pay-per-view.

Rollins made his way to the ring to address the WWE Universe regarding the events of the previous night, during which he was the sole survivor of the men’s inter-brand five-on-five traditional Survivor Series elimination match. Rollins bragged about winning the match by himself and dragged every one of his teammates through the mud. He said that Kevin Owens showed his true colors by getting intentionally counted out, and added that Austin Theory wasn’t good enough to get the job done. The main target of Seth’s ire, however, was Finn Balor, with whom he was scheduled to go one-on-one.

Balor made his way to the ring for the match, but Rollins ambushed him during his entrance. Balor fought back and the two men brawled until Rollins gained the upper hand once again. Rollins tossed Balor over the barricade and into the announce table. He then hit the Irishman with the steel steps and dragged him into the ring. Rollins then delivered a devastating stomp to Balor, and made his way back up the ramp … and that’s when things got real ugly.

As Rollins was walking up the ramp, he was attacked from behind by an unknown assailant. The initial stages of the attack were caught on the live broadcast, but the show quickly went to a commercial break.

Fan footage of the incident shows the fan jumping on Rollins and tussling with the WWE Superstar for a few moments before WWE officials and security guards intervene and dragged the assailant away. A later video showed the fan being marched up the stairs by security before presumably being ejected from the venue and/or taken into custody.

Thankfully, Rollins seems to have escaped the incident unharmed.

WWE has released a statement regarding the incident described below. The statement reads as follows:

“WWE takes the safety of its performers very seriously. The individual who attacked Seth Rollins has been turned over to the NYPD and will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.”

WWE Confirms Becky Lynch And Seth Rollins Got Married This Week

As first teased by Seth Rollins himself on Tuesday, WWE has now confirmed he and Becky Lynch finally got married this week.

WWE has confirmed Becky Lynch and Seth Rollins really did get married on Tuesday. Congratulations to the two of them.

Seth Rollins got wrestling fans buzzing on Tuesday via a certain something he posted on his Instagram story. The Architect posted a photo of Becky Lynch off in the distance along with the caption “seems like a fine day to (finally) get married.” WWE has since posted confirmation that Rollins and Lynch are indeed man and wife, congratulating the two WWE Superstars in the process.

If you were under the impression Lynch and Rollins were already married, there’s good reason for that. The two were supposed to get married back in May of last year. However, as was the case for many couples around the world, those plans were scuppered by the pandemic. Clearly, the world is back to normal enough for the pair to have finally tied the knot.

While having to postpone their wedding for more than a year wouldn’t have been ideal, it does mean their daughter Roux was around for the big day. It has been a big year for the WWE couple. Not only are they now married, but Lynch and Rollins welcomed Roux, their very first child, into the world back in December.

More Lynch news and The Man’s return to the spotlight will renew fans’ want for the former Raw Women’s Champion to return to the ring. Lynch departed WWE over a year ago, revealing to the world that she was pregnant. The Lass Kicker handed her title over to Asuka in the process. The Empress had won the women’s Money in the Bank match the night before, and the title was inside the briefcase.

Lynch had been Raw Women’s Champion since beating Ronda Rousey for the title at WrestleMania 35. Since she was never beaten for the title, she has a built-in angle ready and waiting for her when she does return. That could mean a dream match between Lynch and current champion Rhea Ripley, or an additional chapter in the long-running rivalry with her best friend turned bitter enemy Charlotte Flair. Ripley and Flair will battle for the title once again at Money in the Bank.

Seth Rollins’ Stable Loses AOP Due To Rezar’s Injury

The injury to Rezar of The Authors of Pain has led to a significant change to Seth Rollins’ WWE RAW stable.

Rezar suffered a torn right biceps during the March 9 RAW episode on the USA Network. The injury occurred when Rezar took a crossbody from RAW Tag Team Champion Montez Ford during the eight-man main event of the show, which saw AOP, Rollins and Murphy defeat The Viking Raiders and The Street Profits. Rezar caught the crossbody, but his biceps went out.

There had been speculation on WWE keeping Akam on TV with Rollins and Murphy while Rezar is out of action. In an update, the Wrestling Observer Newsletter reports this week that right now the decision is to not use Akam without Rezar. As of right now, there are no plans for either of them to appear on TV.

This means the stable with Rollins, Murphy, Akam and Rezar has now been reduced to just the tag team with Rollins and Murphy. There’s no word on if WWE plans to add to the team to make it a faction again while AOP is off TV.

It was also noted that Rezar has already undergone surgery to repair the torn right biceps. This has not been confirmed, but he’s expected to be out of action for 7-8 months, which means AOP may be out of the storylines until after the SummerSlam pay-per-view in August. There was some talk that Rezar may have been able to avoid surgery, which would have had him on the shelf for just a few months, but he ended up going under the knife and will likely be out for closer to 8 months.

Rollins is scheduled to face Kevin Owens in a singles match at WrestleMania 36, during either Night One on Saturday, April 4, or during Night Two on Sunday, April 5. Samoa Joe had been involved in the Owens vs. Rollins feud before he was suspended for 30 days due to his first violation of the WWE Wellness Policy, going against Rollins, but there’s no word yet on if he was brought back at this week’s TV and WrestleMania tapings because his suspension did expire. It could be interesting if they have Joe turn on Owens, putting him in the group with Rollins and Murphy.

At one point AOP had been discussed for a spot in a possible RAW Tag Team Titles match at WrestleMania 36, but that idea was nixed due to the injury to Rezar. As noted earlier in this new report on WrestleMania changes and plans, WWE also discussed champions The Street Profits vs. Angel Garza and WWE United States Champion Andrade vs. Rey Mysterio and Humberto Carrillo, but that idea was also nixed. The red brand tag team titles match at WrestleMania will be Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins defending against Andrade and Garza.

Vince McMahon Was Reportedly Furious Over Seth Rollins’ CM Punk Callout On RAW

Last night on Raw, Seth Rollins took some shots at CM Punk in the opening segment of the show. When the crowd chanted Punk’s name during Seth’s opening address to the roster, he stated Punk just wants to sit behind a desk in Los Angeles and talk about change.

“I tried to get [Punk] here, I’m sorry,” Rollins said, while the crowd chanted for Punk. “He didn’t wanna show up. He wants to sit behind a desk in Los Angeles and talk about a change that he’s too afraid to make himself.”

There is no deal in place for a Punk vs. Rollins match as of now. According to Dave Meltzer on the latest Wrestling Observer Radio, Vince McMahon was reportedly furious that Rollins mentioned Punk.

Meltzer pointed out it is a rule that you shouldn’t push an idea of match if you can’t deliver on it. In 2015, McMahon was upset at the ending of a Steve Austin Podcast episode with Paul Heyman, because they teased an Austin vs. Brock Lesnar match that was not in the works.

Rollins has called Punk out multiple times recently on social media. Punk responded to Rollins on last week’s episode of WWE Backstage, stating, “Seth needs to stop tweeting and realize sometimes it’s better to be viewed at as the fool and shut your mouth, or open your mouth and remove all doubt.”

Later on the show while cutting a promo on Tom Arnold, Punk insinuated that Rollins was using him to stay relevant. During an interview with 101 WKQX in Chicago last week, Rollins responded to Punk and once again invited him to face him.

“The funny thing is, for me, from a guy telling me I need to look for relevancy, here’s someone who has been in the doldrums for the past few years because he got his butt kicked in the Octagon, so bad that he didn’t want to show his face anywhere,” Rollins said. “Now he shows back up on a WWE TV show, called WWE Backstage. You can say it’s a FS1 show all you want, which it is, and you might be paid by FOX, but that show doesn’t exist without our company. The company you left 5 years ago. So, say whatever you want, play it however you want. That’s what Punk always does.

“But at the end of the day, if he wants to come on our show and run his mouth about me and a company he’s had no part of for the last 5 years, then of course I’m going to stand up for us. This is a place that has given me everything that I’ve ever wanted in my life. Not only me, but it’s provided a living for my family, for people that I love, that I care about. Of course I’m going to have its back. I’m not going to let you push it around, and push me around, and act like you’re so cool. You couldn’t bust a cherry in a fruit fight, dude. I want to make some money – so, if CM Punk wants to talk all the smack in the world, I’ve invited him a million times now to come to my ring, to my domain, on live television. Where you can’t hide behind anything, no desk in LA. Come, let’s do this thing, man. Let’s fight, let’s fight it out like men.”

While speaking to Wrestling Inc. at the NXT Takeover post-event press conference on Saturday night, Triple H admitted that despite Punk appearing on WWE Backstage, a Punk return to WWE is a “long, long way.”

“I have not spoken to him,” Triple H admitted. “To be honest, we have not had that conversation. I know he’s working for FOX and it’s a bit of an arm’s length from us. All of this stuff is baby steps, when people want something so bad, it’s like they’re saying, ‘So you’re saying there’s a chance.’ That’s the moment of time that we’re in.

“Be happy that he’s on WWE Backstage and doing something with the business again. The rest of it, I’ve said it a million times, never say never. But that’s a long, long way. I know when you say that, people say, ‘they’re working us!’ Because there’s nothing that you can say that will make people think otherwise, it is what it is.”

Punk is an occasional analyst on WWE Backstage on FS1 on Tuesday nights. Punk will not be on tonight’s episode, which features Triple H.

Seth Rollins Out Of Team Hogan Vs. Team Flair Match At Crown Jewel

Seth Rollins was slated to pull double duty at WWE’s upcoming Crown Jewel event in Saudi Arabia … but that’s no longer the case.

WWE announced on Thursday that Rollins will no longer be competing in the “Team Hogan vs. Team Flair” tag match, in which he was set to team with Rusev, Ricochet and two other teammates in a 5-on-5 match against Randy Orton, King Corbin, Bobby Lashley, Shinsuke Nakamura and one more unannounced Superstar.

The Universal Champion will instead defend his title as advertised against “The Fiend” in a Falls Count Anywhere match at the same event, which goes down in Riyadh on October 31.

Backstage News On The Original Bray Wyatt Vs. Seth Rollins WWE Hell In A Cell Finish

This past Sunday at the Hell in a Cell PPV, fans were left disappointed when there was no definitive finish to Seth Rollins v. “The Fiend” Bray Wyatt for the WWE Universal Championship. The referee stopped the bout after thinking about the safety of Bray.

While the idea was to stop the match after a Rollins sledgehammer shot, that wasn’t the original booking decision.

According to the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter, the original finish to the Hell in a Cell match was for Wyatt to take a gimmicked bump off of the top of the cell. As a result, he would be unable to continue and the match would be stopped. Following the conclusion of the bout, “The Fiend” would pop up like The Undertaker and take Rollins out with the Mandible Claw. As you saw this past Sunday, a version of that was done.

Additionally, Dave Meltzer stated that while Vince McMahon didn’t want Wyatt to be beaten early, he also wanted Rollins, Brock Lesnar, Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair as the champions heading into the WWE Draft.

Brock Lesnar Destroys Seth Rollins And Reveals He Will Cash In At WWE Super ShowDown

Brock Lesnar was set to cash in his Money In the Bank title shot on WWE Universal Champion Seth Rollins during tonight’s RAW, but looks like the cash in will now come at WWE Super ShowDown on Friday in Saudi Arabia.

As seen below, Lesnar came out to destroy Rollins following a beatdown from Baron Corbin, who will challenge Rollins in a singles match at Friday’s pay-per-view. Paul Heyman kept encouraging his client to cash in, but Lesnar yelled at him and said “Friday!” to indicate the cash in will come at Super ShowDown. Lesnar has been advertised for Super ShowDown since it was announced, but his plans were up in the air following the announcement of Corbin vs. Rollins.

Seth Rollins And Becky Lynch Dating

WWE RAW and SmackDown Women’s Champion Becky Lynch confirmed this weekend that she is dating Seth Rollins during a Twitter exchange with Beth Phoenix. Lynch had involved Edge in the Twitter spat, which prompted Phoenix to ask, “Wait wait…are we involving our men now…”

Lynch replied, “I’ll ask him…@WWERollins?”

In a tweet that has since been deleted, Phoenix responded to Lynch confirming her relationship with Rollins, writing, “Aw! Relationship confirmed! Congrats @BeckyLynchWWE @WWERollins ! Maybe one day we can double date and reminisce on old times…”

On Monday morning, Rollins also confirmed their relationship. Rollins posted the photo below of the two kissing and wrote, “I guess I’m allowed to post this now…. @beckylynchwwe ?”
