Seth Rollins is currently ruling Monday Night Raw as the World Heavyweight Champion. Over the years, Rollins has carved out a respectable wrestling career for himself. While he has undying support from the WWE Universe, he has also made some enemies along the way. During a recent interview, Seth Rollins revealed that he has ironed out his real-life differences with his old rival, Matt Riddle.

Incensed at the remark, Seth Rollins expressed his unwillingness to ever work with Riddle during the 2020 WWE Draft. However, the duo have finally reconciled.

While speaking in the podcast, Rollins revealed that Riddle apologized to the workhorse Champion. He said, “I’m a professional. We can work together, things that happened outside of here, that is what it is. He apologized, and we mended fences, and I’m all about, like, I don’t write anybody off, I’m not one of those guys that’s like ‘no second chances, you do wrong by me, I hate you forever,’ like I’m not that stubborn, it’s not that serious unless you do some real nasty things. Everybody makes mistakes, and I’m big on forgiveness and second chances.”

Rollins further lauded The Original Bro for being the bigger man and apologizing. It’s also worth noting that despite Rollins’ real-life friction with Riddle, the duo was pitted against each other in an on-screen feud in 2022

Much like how Matt Riddle ended his rift with Seth Rollins,  WWE legend Ric Flair also apologized to The Architect after his differences with Becky Lynch.

Not only did Flair’s lawsuit strain his relationship with Triple H, but it also caused a split between him and Seth Rollins. However, earlier this year, during Raw’s 30th anniversary, Ric Flair met with Rollins and Lynch backstage and buried the hatchet.

Nevertheless, Seth Rollins’ defensiveness for Becky Lynch goes to show that he is a devoted husband who will fight the world for his wife.
