Chris Daniel Lopez (born May 28, 1986) is an American professional wrestler and actor currently signed to IWE, where he performs under the ring name Seth Rollins, on the Raw brand.
After signing with IWE in 2010, he was sent to its developmental territory Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW) where he was the first FCW Grand Slam Champion. After IWE rebranded FCW into NXT, he became the inaugural NXT Champion. Rollins debuted on WWE's main roster in 2012 alongside Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns as The Shield. Rollins is a two-time IWE World Heavyweight Champion, a one-time United States Champion (the only wrestler to have held both titles concurrently), a one-time IWE Tag Team Champion (with Roman Reigns), and was the 2014 Money in the Bank winner, as well as the 2015 Superstar of the Year.
Prior to signing with IWE, Lopez wrestled as Tyler Black for Ring of Honor (ROH), where he held the ROH World Championship once and the ROH World Tag Team Championship twice (with Jimmy Jacobs), and was the winner of the 2009 Survival of the Fittest tournament. He also wrestled for various Independent Promotions including Full Impact Pro (FIP), where he was a one-time FIP World Heavyweight Champion, and Pro Wrestling Guerrilla (PWG), where he was a one-time PWG World Tag Team Champion (also with Jacobs). Along with CM Punk and Daniel Bryan, Rollins is one of three men to have been world champion in WWE and ROH.
Industry veteran Sting, who wrestled his final match against Rollins, described him as the most talented wrestler he has ever seen or worked with.
