Seth Rollins is going the whole nine yards in his prep for Wrestlemania 40, teaming up with Lane Johnson, the Eagles’ powerhouse, for a workout that’s more than just a Hail Mary. The Philadelphia Eagles X (formerly known as Twitter) channel’s share of the video is a touchdown, showing Rollins flexing his World Heavyweight Championship with Johnson.

Johnson reshared the video with the caption, “The Champ is in the building! @WWERollins”. This underscores the excitement surrounding this unexpected collaboration. The original caption on the video by Eagles further hypes up the event, stating, “@LaneJohnson65 @WWERollins – the collab you didn’t know you needed before #WrestleMania this weekend @WWE | #FlyEaglesFly.”

Their banter is as heavy as the weights they’re lifting. Rollins, a Bears fan through and through, recalls getting “annihilated” by the Eagles, but it’s the Philly fans’ passion that leaves a mark. Johnson nods, knowing all too well the brutal honesty of the home crowd. It’s this raw, unfiltered love for the game that fuels champions
