WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth “Freakin'” Rollins is set to bring his eccentric style and outspoken personality to the world of sports talk. The reigning champion is joining the NFL Network’s popular morning show, Good Morning Football, as a guest host for the 2025-2026 NFL season.
The news, first reported by Deadline, is another example of the expanding crossover appeal of WWE’s top superstars. Rollins is a well-known, lifelong fan of the Chicago Bears.
A Perfect Crossover Fit
Seth Rollins has been a frequent guest on Good Morning Football in the past, where he has often championed his beloved, and often mediocre, Chicago Bears. His passion for the team and his charismatic, engaging personality have made him a natural fit for the show’s energetic and debate-driven format. He will join the regular cast of hosts, which includes Jamie Erdahl, Kyle Brandt, and Manti Te’o.
This is not Rollins’s first official involvement with the NFL. At the 2025 NFL Draft, he had the honor of announcing a draft pick for the Chicago Bears, a moment he has called a “dream come true.”
A Champion’s Media Tour
This new, high-profile media gig comes at a time when Seth Rollins is once again at the top of the wrestling world. He is the reigning World Heavyweight Champion after his “Ruse of the Century” at SummerSlam, where he faked an injury to successfully cash in his Money in the Bank contract on CM Punk.
