Hardly anyone in the professional sports and entertainment world has had a more eventful past few weeks than WWE Superstar Seth Rollins.
In between winning the main event of WrestleMania 41 and challenging for the World Heavyweight Championship, Rollins also stopped by the 2025 NFL Draft a few days ago to announce one of the eight selections for the Chicago Bears.
Over the last few years, Rollins has become one of the Bears more prominent celebrity fans and he continues to get involved with various NFL activities in his spare time, but taking the trip to Green Bay, Wisconsin and announce a pick at the draft was special.
"It was a beautiful moment in time," Rollins said on the Bears Etc. Podcast. "I was so excited to be able to do that for the Bears. It's truly an honor to be able to read a pick off at any draft, let alone being in Green Bay."
As a WWE star, Rollins is well versed in handling hostile crowds and playing into the "bad guy" role. And being in enemy territory in the shadows of Lambeau Field, Rollins ended up being disappointed by the reaction from Packers fans in attendance.
"I loved leaning into the boo's, I wish they were louder," Rollins added. "I was hoping they were going to boo me off the stage. But, it was a really awesome experience. The fans in Green Bay, they get it. They understand, they know the assignment. I got a little leeway to cook them with a couple lines. It was nice to get a little permission to take some time and do what I had to do to the fine folks in Green Bay."
One of the best jabs Rollins threw at the fans was claiming Bears quarterback Caleb Williams was the best quarterback in the NFC North and reminded the city of Green Bay that the team's franchise QB is technically undefeated at Lambeau Field.
Rollins went on to announce Ozzy Trapilo as the team's selection with the 56th overall pick, an offensive tackle the organization is excited about developing into a potential starter up-front.
It was overall one of the top moments of Day 2. Rollins is incredible at working a crowd and it's great to see his Bears love continue to shine going into this new era.
