Talk:Seth Rollins

New name for his knee strike maneuver

On Feb. 19th, Corey Graves called the knee strike move "Revolution Knee", which is most likely the new name for the knee strike move WikiPena321 (talk) 22:55, 20 February 2018 (UTC)

 Done. I found a source an added it in.RF23 (talk) 21:54, 21 February 2018 (UTC)

Grand Slam Rollins

Shouldn't "Grand Slam Rollins" be placed on his Nicknames article? He called himself that on the Raw post WM 34, and even said it had a nice ring to it. Even if it was a one-night only, he was called that by the announcers. 2804:14D:BAD4:8AE8:A099:5FF1:C2C3:B3D1 (talk) 03:36, 17 April 2018 (UTC)

Signatures and Finishers

On various Wikipedia articles for wrestlers, the signatures, finishers, and nicknames have been removed. Why? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 107.15.20.234 (talk) 21:31, 29 June 2018 (UTC)

Seth Rollins does not live in Moline, he lives in Davenport, Iowa 205.215.217.130 (talk) 15:08, 15 August 2019 (UTC)

 Not done. There are sources present in the article that say otherwise. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 21:43, 15 August 2019 (UTC)

Criticism section

Genuine question: Is the criticism section really that notable? There are other situations of people receiving legitimate heat that aren't even noted on said heat's subject's articles (e.g. John Cena and The Rock's public comments toward each other prior to their feud, Candice Michelle and Melina, etc.). Dave Meltzer and Bryan Alvarez of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter subsequently expressed annoyance that Lopez keeps "putting his foot in his mouth". Are we going to annotate every time wrestling reporters are annoyed at something? KyleJoan^talk 12:42, 3 October 2019 (UTC)

Is the recently-added criticism section significant enough to put in the article? KyleJoan^talk 16:38, 12 October 2019 (UTC)

• Support inclusion but rename section per WP:CSECTION. His status as a flawed WWE spokesperson or "vocal leader" is probably notable but "Criticism" is an imprecise header and is almost always discouraged.LM2000 (talk) 17:14, 12 October 2019 (UTC)
  • I agree with Str1977 below that if this is kept then it should be shortened.LM2000 (talk) 02:22, 18 October 2019 (UTC)
• What kind of criticism? About his complains with Will Ospreay and so? If that's all, I don't see notable. Every wrestler today has online backlash. There is something more? --HHH Pedrigree (talk) 12:17, 13 October 2019 (UTC)

The section only contains the Ospreay situation and nothing more. KyleJoan^talk 03:41, 18 October 2019 (UTC)

• I was in support of removing this in the past. It is kinda WP:NOTNEWS. So he put his foot in his mouth defending his employer, not very significant. I also do not like the section title "criticism" at all. StaticVapor message me! 18:51, 17 October 2019 (UTC)
• Support inclusion but shorten the details, rename and move to more appropriate place (not "personal life"). Str1977 ^(talk) 22:15, 17 October 2019 (UTC)

Please refrain from moving and retitling section until RfC is complete. KyleJoan^talk 03:41, 18 October 2019 (UTC)

Please refrain from such blanket reverts. My edits had hardly anything to do with the section in question and nothing with actual issue: retain or delete the section. Str1977 ^(talk) 13:22, 18 October 2019 (UTC)

Your edit voids the specific section link named in the RfC (i.e., Seth Rollins#Criticism), which confuses editors as to which section is being discussed. Also, use American spelling. KyleJoan^talk 16:07, 18 October 2019 (UTC)

@Str1977: You stated that you'd like to move the section being discussed, which you proceeded to do without consensus. Doing so before this RfC is complete is premature due to the possibility of other editors opining otherwise. KyleJoan^talk 16:26, 18 October 2019 (UTC)

My edits came before I even was aware that there is an RfC. I included some of my edits in my comments here but main issue is keep or delete the section. If we delete it, as you prefer, it doesn't matter anyway. I have now restored the original name of the section but your blanket reverts are unacceptable. Str1977 ^(talk) 16:31, 18 October 2019 (UTC)

While we're mainly discussing the section's content, its placement is also significant because the RfC began with it existing as its own section, therefore, moving and changing it into a subsection confuses the discussion. It also does not matter what I prefer; we're trying to achieve consensus. KyleJoan^talk 16:40, 18 October 2019 (UTC)

• Oppose inclusion per WP:NOTNEWS. KyleJoan^talk 03:41, 18 October 2019 (UTC)
• Support inclusion of content but not in a "criticism" section - I think the essay WP:NOCRIT offers good guidance about weaving otherwise acceptable content into the body of the article rather than bookending it into a standalone "criticism" section. Chetsford (talk) 16:07, 27 October 2019 (UTC)
• Support inclusion of content but not in a "criticism" section I think it's noteworthy enough but doesn't need it's own section. Agree that WP:NOCRIT is relevant. Comatmebro (talk) 00:40, 29 October 2019 (UTC)
• Support inclusion of content but not in a "criticism" section It can be integrated in the Professional wrestling style, persona and reception section. These spats by wrestlers (and even boxers prior to a match) are sometimes done for the sake of promotion. Darwin Naz (talk) 22:42, 6 November 2019 (UTC)
• Support inclusion of content but not in a "criticism" section per User:Darwin Naz who sums up the practices of kayfabe in an industry that is the very definition of "fake news" see also: WP:NOCRIT — Ched (talk) 05:15, 9 November 2019 (UTC)

Engagement

KJ, which day do you think "Happiest day of my life. For the rest of my life." refers to? And even if it were not that date, the "announcement" is completely irrelevant. We should report events and facts, not announcements. Str1977 ^(talk) 16:35, 18 October 2019 (UTC)

We should report events and facts, not announcements. Not when we don't know when said events and facts take place.

KJ, which day do you think "Happiest day of my life. For the rest of my life." . . . refers to? I don't know because she never stated which day; she only made the announcement stating the event made whatever day the engagement was the happiest day of her life. KyleJoan^talk 16:44, 18 October 2019 (UTC)

If we do not know the exact date, then we make the date more vague. WP is cluttered up left, right and center by these constant announcements. Sometimes entire articles consist of nothing but announcements.

As for the day: it is highly unlikely that Becky got engaged and then waited an unknown number of days before tweeting about it. Str1977 ^(talk) 09:37, 19 October 2019 (UTC)

How do you propose we make the date vaguer? As for the day: it is highly unlikely that Becky got engaged and then waited an unknown number of days before tweeting about it. Isn't this speculative? Isn't the most accurate statement the one where we annotate the announcement since the exact engagement date isn't known? KyleJoan^talk 10:26, 19 October 2019 (UTC)

It's not speculation but rather using common sense.

How can we make it vaguer (which I don't think we have to, if we use common sense)? We could just note the month but since you refuse common sense, you could probably respond by speculating that we don't know they got (sic!) engaged in August. Maybe, they have been egaged for ten years and only now "announced" it. Who knows - it's all unclear, according to you!

{{tq|Your "most accurate statement" is also the most irrelevant. Announcements by themselves do not warrant inclusion.

Str1977 ^(talk) 07:09, 23 October 2019 (UTC)

We could just note the month but since you refuse common sense, you could probably respond by speculating that we don't know they got (sic!) engaged in August. Maybe, they have been egaged for ten years and only now "announced" it. Who knows - it's all unclear, according to you! All of this is correct. I'm glad you understand. Can you direct me to the guideline where it says any announcement whatsoever does not warrant inclusion in WP:BLP? I'm having trouble finding it. Putting an unsourced engagement date would mean that that piece of information does not adhere to WP:OR or WP:V; I don't know about you, but I'd like to adhere to both WP:OR and WP:V.

Relationships

"On February 9, 2015, a nude photo of former NXT wrestler Zahra Schreiber, reportedly Lopez's girlfriend,[....] Soon after, nude photos of Lopez were posted on the Twitter page of his then-fiancée, Leighla Schultz"

So he had a girlfriend and a fiancée at the same time? -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 13:50, 24 January 2020 (UTC)

Have not said if baby is boy or girl

They have not officially stated if Roux is a boy or a girl. The name can be used for either sex. Roux roughly translates to "ginger". Maybe because of reddish hair, or the half Irish heritage. Until they announce if it is a boy or girl, I don't think it is right to assume the baby's gender. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.99.184.13 (talk) 22:36, 9 December 2020 (UTC)

NXT title a "TOP" 3 Championships?

Strange note in the opening about how he's held WWE's "Top" 3 championships. NXT is pretty much unofficially a developmental brand and by no means is their championship considered a "Top" prize in the company in my opinion. At least it's never been viewed or spoken about in that way.68.196.67.65 (talk) 18:14, 22 January 2023 (UTC)

Zahra Schreiber section gone?

Any reason why every mention of the Zahra Schreiber scandal is gone? Pretty sure it's frowned upon here to remove controversies for no reason other than to make the subject look better. It wasn't a nice thing that he did, but it was notable and a subject's article shouldn't prioritize being squeaky clean over being factual. Winditaround (talk) 08:54, 14 December 2023 (UTC)

It was deleted without explanation by a blocked account, here. I've restored it.

That said, there does need to be significant justification to include controversies normally (and oftentimes they're discouraged) so there could be a good justification that it's WP:UNDUE. — Czello ^(music) 09:03, 14 December 2023 (UTC)

Article for faction?

Should there be an article for Rollins/Heyman faction? They're the focal point of Raw at the minute and likely will be for the coming year. The lack of a name is frustrating, though, and I understand why not. Just want to open up a discussion 109.78.46.211 (talk) 10:55, 23 July 2025 (UTC)

It's doubtful there will be one any time soon. They are quite notable, but it's too soon and it would be incomplete due to no notable feuds or storylines as of yet. Also, we try and trim down the amount of faction articles there and only focusing on the notable ones. If you recall the short-lived faction of Rollins, Theory, Garza, and Murphy back in 2020 which has no article, and there likely will never be one.

In short, it's best we wait and trim the amount of faction articles there are, only creating the notable ones. Lemonademan22 (talk) 12:26, 23 July 2025 (UTC)

World Title count (Why only six instead of seven?)

Just curious at the exact rationale for Seth's 2010 Ring of Honor World Championship reign isn't listed as part of his runs. The title is listed as a world championship on its respective wikipedia page, so it would make sense to include it on all champions' pages, but if there's a rationale or understanding to the contrary, as a frequent reader and user, I'd love to learn and better understand. Thank you. 68.196.212.232 (talk) 03:33, 6 September 2025 (UTC)

Where does it specifically say he's only a six time champion? I could find this line, Rollins is a six-time world champion in WWE, but of course that's talking about WWE specifically. — Czello ^(music) 06:57, 6 September 2025 (UTC)

Can you update Seth Rollins has won 17 championships in WWE instead of 16 as this statement is outdated and he isn't a record six World Tag Team Champion anymore with Kofi Kingston breaking the record this year at 7 so I would appreciate it if you updated that too.
