Seth Rollins Says Becky Lynch Was 'Very Upset' At Being Involved In WWE SummerSlam Ruse

Seth Rollins performed his second heist of the century at WWE SummerSlam 2025, but wife Becky Lynch wasn’t happy about being part of his plans.

Rollins was written off WWE TV at Saturday Night’s Main Event on July 12 after seemingly injuring his knee, with conflicting reports suggesting the injury was either legit or a work by Rollins. Well it seems the latter was true, with ‘The Visionary’ returning at SummerSlam to cash in his Money in the Bank contract on new World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk, Rollins walking away with the gold.

Rollins originally appeared on The Rich Eisen Show after his ‘injury’ on crutches, and during a return to the show thanked Eisen for being in on the ruse, whilst admitting Becky Lynch was not happy about being involved:

“My wife is an unwilling participant in this ruse. She was very upset at me for making me lie to all of her friends and family for the better part of three weeks,” said Rollins. “She was very upset. I said, ‘Honey, just trust me, the payoff will be great.’ My daughter thought it was a game. She thought it was a fun little game. I told her, ‘Daddy has a pretend boo-boo for the next few weeks. Let’s keep that on the low.’ First thing she did was go and tell her preschool teacher, Ms. Joy, immediately. Then, she had to tell me she told Ms. Joy and gave me the classic, ‘Na-na-boo-boo, I told Ms. Joy.’ I’m like, ‘How am I supposed to live my life? How am I supposed to get this through. Focus. Kayfabe, young Roux, kayfabe.’ Here we are, three weeks later, nobody went to the dirt sheets or the news. Thank you, Roux, thank you, Ms. Joy. It was an honour and a pleasure. The payoff was more beautiful than I could have expected.

“Limping around on those crutches for three weeks was excruciating. That was painful. I went to the gym, I took my daughter to the beach for ice cream, I dropped her off at the preschool, I went for a nice steak dinner with my wife, Bianca Belair, and Montez Ford with the crutches. I did it all on crutches. It was excruciating. The crutches alone were painful. I thought I was going to get a shoulder injury, a real one, get surgery and go to Birmingham legit. I was getting irritable, my wife was putting up with me being grumpy. It was a tough one, but we pulled through and did it. For the greater good.”
