WWE Superstar Seth Rollins is slated to add his star power to Netflix’s upcoming Skyscraper Live, an event where viewers will watch a daring free solo climb of the renowned Taipei 101. The highly anticipated special will stream live on January 23, promising an intense showdown as pro climber Alex Hannold attempts the gravity-defying ascent without safety ropes, and Rollins contributes as part of the on-air team.
Seth Rollins Announced Among Skyscraper Live Talent
On Tuesday, Netflix Sports revealed that Seth Rollins would serve as one of the presenters for the Skyscraper Live broadcast. While the precise nature of his involvement is yet to be detailed, Rollins will be part of a high-profile broadcast team. Alongside him, the event will feature ESPN anchor Elle Duncan, professional rock climber Emily Harrington, YouTuber and former NASA and Apple engineer Mark Rober, as well as climbing commentator Pete Woods. This continues Rollins’ broadcasting journey with Netflix, as he previously appeared on the platform’s Christmas Day coverage of the NFL game between the Detroit Lions and the Minnesota Vikings.
Although Rollins is currently sidelined from in-ring action due to injury, his media presence remains strong. His upcoming documentary feature will also be included when WWE Unreal returns for its second season on January 20, offering fans insights into the WWE talent’s ongoing storylines and challenges. The announcement cements the relationship between Rollins, WWE, and Netflix, especially as Netflix becomes the official home of WWE RAW.
