Seth Rollins, the reigning World Heavyweight Champion, will step into a new role as a guest host on NFL Network’s Good Morning Football during the 2025-2026 season. This move marks an expansion of his presence beyond wrestling, as the Chicago Bears fan has already been a recurring guest on the show throughout 2024.
Joining established hosts Jamie Erdahl, Kyle Brandt, Manti Te’o, and Sherree Burruss, Rollins will be part of the morning lineup following notable cast changes on the program. His ongoing enthusiasm for football and previous appearances, such as the 2025 NFL Draft in April, demonstrate his commitment to engaging with the sport from a broadcasting perspective.
Transition in Good Morning Football’s Hosting Lineup
The NFL Network’s Good Morning Football show experienced significant shifts with the recent departures of long-standing contributors Akbar Gbajabiamila, who left after one season, and Peter Schrager, who exited after nine years. These vacancies created opportunities for fresh faces like Rollins and various guest hosts to step in and offer new dynamics to the show.
Over the past years, Good Morning Football has welcomed a wide array of guest co-hosts, including personalities from different backgrounds such as West Wilson from Summer House, football players like Cody Kessler, D’Marco Farr, Derwin James Jr., Brock Vereen, Camryn Bynum, Isaac Rochell, Laiatu Latu, Isaiah Stanback, Jason Cabinda, Justin Pugh, Nick Cross, Logan Ryan, Will Blackmon, Willie Colon, and others. Rollins now joins this select group as the program expands its hosting diversity.
Upcoming Championship Challenge at Clash in Paris
Seth Rollins will soon face a critical encounter defending his World Heavyweight Championship at WWE’s Clash in Paris event on August 31. Following his surprising cash-in of the Money In The Bank contract at SummerSlam, where he defeated CM Punk minutes after Punk had won the title from Gunther, Rollins has positioned himself as one of the most dynamic competitors in wrestling today.
Despite public claims that a knee injury sustained at Saturday Night’s Main Event would sideline him for months, Rollins used this as a strategic deception to fuel his championship victory. His next title defense will be a four-way match against LA Knight, CM Punk, and Jey Uso, adding further intensity to the competition in Paris.
Additionally, WWE is reportedly considering a major match featuring Randy Orton as part of the same event, although only five matches are confirmed so far, highlighting the potential for high-profile bouts that could define the card.
