Heartwarming / Seth Rollins

Go To

  • Real-life example, enhanced audio from his Money in the Bank cash-in shows that when he pinned Roman Reigns for the title, he said to him "Thank you so much!". No matter what the on-screen tension and alliances were, the real friendship between the two is touching.
  • Attended NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn, which featured Sasha Banks's and Bayley's incredible first matchup for the NXT Women's Championship. Seth is close to both women, and the sheer passion, excellence of the match, and emotion at Bayley's long-deserved win had him in visible Manly Tears.
  • Nearly a year into being turned face by Triple H's betrayal, on July 17, 2017, Seth Rollins FINALLY said something to Dean Ambrose that needed to be said.
    Ambrose: I mean, I knew a guy who looked a lot like you once. He was a liar, a cheater. The kinda guy who would stab his brothers in the back. In fact, that guy took a steel chair just like this one, and he stabbed it right through my back, and right through my heart.
    Rollins: AND THAT WAS OVER THREE YEARS AGO, ALRIGHT! AND YOU KNOW WHAT, I'M SORRY!
    [beat, crowd cheers]
    Rollins: And I never said that before, so I'll say it again. I'm sorry, alright?
  • Seth and Dean appearing (with no entrance music or fanfare) from backstage after Roman Reigns's leukemia announcement, embracing their brother after what has to have been one of the most heartwrenching moments of his life. Seth did it again after Roman's return on the Feb. 25th Raw, welcoming his brother back.
  • The announcement that he and Becky Lynch are expecting their first child together, including his social media post about it. Really, their entire relationship (regardless of how it was handled in kayfabe) counts as well.
  • The evolution of his relationship with Cody Rhodes going from Arch-Enemy to Worthy Opponent to Enemy Mine in regards to The Judgment Day to Fire-Forged Friends. This solidifies during the WrestleMania kickoff conference when The Rock slaps Cody and Seth has to be physically separated from Rock and Roman when he comes to Cody’s defense.
    • This culminates at WrestleMania where Seth appears in full Shield gear during the match between Roman and Cody and draws Roman's ire, taking a chair shot that was initially meant for Cody, giving Cody the opportunity to turn the tables against Roman and finally finish his story.
    • To add onto the above, fans have taken note that the reason why it holds on Rock for so long was because Rollins was in such horrible shape after all the beatings he had gotten throughout the weekend...and yet he still came out to help Cody finish his story.
    • And then when some of the roster is coming out to celebrate Cody, some of them have to physically help Seth to his feet as his legs are in such bad shape he can barely even stand. Cody would thank Seth by giving him a fist bump, all as Seth gave him a look that said: "I gave you my word".
