Seth Rollins is known for being one of WWEs top stars, but behind the scenes, hes now admitting that the grind of being Seth Rollins nearly consumed himand it cost him in his personal life.
During his appearance on Mohr Stories with Jay Mohr, the former world champion opened up about how the lines between his on-screen character and real life started to blur. Rollins revealed that for a period of time, he struggled to take off the metaphorical WWE hat, even when he was off the clock.
That commitment, while admirable in the ring, led to serious problems outside of itespecially in his previous relationship.
Jay Mohr brought up the idea that to be truly exceptional, people sometimes have to live with collateral damage, and Rollins didnt shy away from the truth.
Rollins honesty pulls the curtain back on the mental toll of staying in character and maintaining superstar status 24/7. These days, it seems hes found a healthier balanceespecially now that hes married to fellow WWE star Becky Lynch, who understands the lifestyle and grind better than most.
Rollins story isnt just about fameits about the danger of letting your identity become your job. And for a lot of performers, that fine line can quietly destroy everything outside the spotlight.
Seth Rollins isnt just a character. Hes a reminder of what happens when the gimmick doesnt stop when the lights go out.
