During the NFL offseason, WWE Superstar and ardent Chicago Bears supporter Seth Rollins shared his outlook on the season, expressing confidence about the team’s chances. Appearing on ‘The Rich Eisen Show,’ Rollins reviewed the Bears’ upcoming schedule, delivering a particularly striking prediction for their Week 3 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys at Soldier Field. This forecast, involving a dominant Bears win, sparked controversy among fans.
Rollins began his season outlook by predicting the Bears would open with a win over the Minnesota Vikings, who are expected to start rookie quarterback J.J. McCarthy in his first NFL game. He then anticipated a setback against the division rival Detroit Lions. However, his most daring call came for Week 3’s primetime Sunday Night Football game, where he boldly claimed the Bears would defeat the Cowboys decisively.
Blowout. Blowout game. Done. Over. 2-1. Bears, baby! Come on. Get out of here. The Cowboys aren’t going to win that game. They might not win a road game all season.
— Seth Rollins
The prediction stirred reactions, notably from WWE colleague TJ Jefferson, a Cowboys fan, who responded with some skepticism, stating, I’ll text you that Sunday. Rollins welcomed the challenge and replied,
Please do. We will watch it together.
Rollins Projects Strong Season and Playoff Run for the Bears
Beyond the Week 3 projection, Rollins foresees the Bears finishing the season with a 12-5 record, capturing the NFC North division title and securing a playoff spot. He envisions a postseason showdown against the reigning champions, the Philadelphia Eagles, eager to avenge the Bears’ 2018 playoff loss known as the double-doink game.
The WWE star recounted watching that historic and painful game at a Hooters restaurant, a memory that fuels his hope for redemption. The Bears’ 2018 playoff exit came against the Eagles led by backup quarterback Nick Foles, who propelled Philadelphia to a Super Bowl victory that year. Rollins’ desire to see Chicago overcome the defending champs adds emotional weight to his season prediction.
Kings of the North! 12-5. That’s my prediction. I’m sticking to it.

The Passion of a Life-Long Bears Devotee
Growing up in Davenport, Iowa, Rollins naturally gravitated toward the closest NFL team, the Chicago Bears, showing his loyalty throughout his life. He regularly attends NFL games wearing Bears colors and proudly supports the franchise.
His devotion was on display during this year’s NFL Draft, where Rollins took the stage to announce a Bears draft pick, carrying a WWE replica championship belt featuring the Bears logo. His appearance sparked a strong reaction from the hometown Green Bay fans, who booed him as he announced the Bears’ selection of Boston College offensive lineman Ozzy Trapilo with the 55th overall pick.
