Seth Rollins believes his long-term future is with WWE, and he says he’s in the early stages of conversations about an executive or creative role down the road.
Speaking with Bloomberg’s Kim Bhasin, Seth Rollins was asked about potentially working with WWE in a backstage capacity.
“I think my long-term future is probably still in the industry, in WWE in some capacity, backstage,” Rollins said. “I think someone’s gonna have to run that place eventually after the current regime has decided they’re done with it. So I like to fancy myself as someone who might be interested in that. I want to learn kind of that side of things. That’s my first love. But I do have an interest in dabbling. I’ve done some acting, some little bit roles. That’s not the most fun thing for me.
“But I would love to somehow parlay my love for professional football into a gig. My ultimate goal is to be in the broadcast booth and call Chicago Bears games on Sundays. That would be a fantastic thing for me, so we’ll keep pushing for that, and maybe sports media is in the future. But I do think long-term, we’re probably looking at Seth Rollins in WWE for a long time.

Rollins was then asked whether he had talked to WWE or TKO about potentially working backstage down the road.
“Yeah, I mean, it’s still a ways off obviously,” Seth Rollins said. “I’m closer to the end of my career than the beginning, but the end ain’t here yet. So I’m kind of in my prime right now. I’m 38 years old. My mental and physical are kind of locked in right now.
“My physical hasn’t declined too much and my mental side is really on the rise as I’m starting to see the industry from a different angle, so that part I’m really focused on. I think we’re in the early stages of conversations about what it might look like for me in the future in an executive or in a creative role, whatever that may be. But again, that’s in its infancy. It’s like a, ‘Hey, maybe what would you think down the road?’ So right now I’m focused on what I’m doing in the ring and helping out there as best I can.”
Rollins is set to compete in an Elimination Chamber qualifying match on the February 17th episode of WWE RAW.
