Former World Champion Seth Rollins is currently sidelined with a shoulder injury, but he had plenty to say about the woman he believes will prove herself the greatest female wrestler of all time at WWE Elimination Chamber.
Appearing on ESPN's Get Up alongside host Mike Greenberg, 'The Visionary' issued an unequivocal endorsement of his wife and WWE Women's Intercontinental Champion Becky Lynch. Rollins spoke highly of his wife ahead of her Women's Intercontinental Championship defense against AJ Lee on Saturday in Chicago. He said:
My wife is going to make sure the world knows who is the greatest female wrestler of all time — not just me saying it, other people saying it. The Man, Becky Lynch — big time Beck — she's the Intercontinental Champion. She has put that title on the map. She's gonna wipe the floor with AJ. This is AJ Lee's first singles match in a decade. In a decade. She doesn't stand a chance. My wife, she's got it locked and rocked, baby.
Rollins Defends the Survivor Series Tap-Out
The pointed prediction comes with context. At Wrestlepalooza in September last year, AJ Lee and CM Punk defeated Lynch and Rollins in a mixed tag team match, with Lynch tapping out to Lee in the closing moments. Greenberg brought up the submission, and Rollins delivered a characteristically colorful response. He explained:
Tapping out — there was a lot going on. My wife said there's some insects in the ring. She said she wasn't really tapping out. Either way, tomorrow my wife is going to make sure the world knows who is the greatest female wrestler of all time.
The rematch has been building since AJ Lee's return to WWE in September 2025. The match was made official on the February 9th episode of Raw, with Lee confronting Lynch and challenging her for the championship. Saturday marks Lee's first official singles match since March 2015, when she last competed against Nikki Bella.
Lynch reclaimed the Women's Intercontinental Championship after previously losing it when AJ Lee's interference allowed Maxxine Dupri to pin her in November. Now she'll defend the title in front of a Chicago crowd that figures to be split as United Center is home turf for both Lee and her husband, CM Punk.
WWE Elimination Chamber 2026 takes place Saturday, February 28th, at the United Center in Chicago, Illinois, streaming on the ESPN App at 7 PM ET.
