Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch have turned their shared love of coffee into a business venture, announcing an investment partnership with Los Angeles-based coffee company Dayglow while preparing to launch their own white-label coffee line.
The WWE power couple, known by their real names Colby Lopez and Rebecca Quin outside the ring, revealed the collaboration in an exclusive interview with Complex published today.
According to the interview, coffee has been a foundational part of their relationship throughout years of relentless travel schedules and international appearances. The couple developed a ritual of seeking out the best coffee shops in every city they visited during their time on the road.
From Coffee Lovers to Coffee Business
Quin gravitated toward Americanos and what she describes as \"hole-in-the-wall, crappy little\" shops, while Lopez explored a wide range of blends and preferred more upscale cafés. The turning point came when Lopez introduced Quin to a cortado, an experience that helped spark what would eventually become their business venture.
\"Dayglow, first of all, the quality is elite, the best in Los Angeles in my opinion, and that\'s saying a lot,\" Lopez told Complex. \"We met the owner, Tom [Ifergen], and hit it off instantly. He wasn\'t pretentious or corporate, just a guy who loved coffee. We both had Midwest roots and connected over traveling and discovering coffee the same way.\
The partnership goes beyond a standard celebrity endorsement. Lopez and Quin are investing in Dayglow while the company will serve as the exclusive roaster for their upcoming white-label coffee line.

Hands-On Involvement
\"The partnership is half-and-half,\" Lopez explained. \"There are so many logistics we don\'t understand. We\'re coffee people, not business people. We worked with Dayglow to talk about what our flavors are and what we like. The actual bean, what we\'re going to put in the bag and the can, is still undecided. We still have to do a sampling, probably in the next couple of weeks.\
Despite acknowledging they\'re not coffee industry veterans, the couple will have final approval on every major decision, from the roast itself to the artwork, labeling, and packaging. They\'re serving as hands-on decision-makers and primary investors in the venture.
Quin compared their approach to coffee to their passion for wrestling: \"It\'s about that love, right? It\'s that thing that gets you out of bed in the morning. It\'s simple, but it\'s an adventure. Whenever I go to a town, I\'m finding the best coffee.\"
Future Plans
When asked about the possibility of opening a brick-and-mortar café, Quin teased, \"Stay tuned...I scouted a spot.\" Lopez was more measured but confirmed the idea is \"always on the table.\"
\"We have no idea how this thing is gonna turn out. It could completely tank,\" Lopez admitted. \"If it turns out great, we\'ll buy out Starbucks [laughs]. We\'re just throwing our hat in the ring and saying, \'Here\'s the thing we love. Hopefully you love it too,\' and then we\'ll hope for the best.\"
True to her \"The Man\" persona, Quin showed no doubt about the venture\'s success: \"Buy it. It\'s gonna be the best coffee, the greatest coffee. Everybody\'s gonna say it.\"
The couple\'s white-label coffee line is expected to launch in the coming months, with Dayglow handling all roasting operations for the brand.
