So excited to have you guys. Thank you. Thanks for having us.

150.252 - 168.494 Unknown

Do you go by Seth or do you go by Colby? Well, who's talking to me? More people in the world know me by Seth Rollins. Colby Lopez is my government name. It's a great name, but I use it for nothing. Nothing. Zero things. I've contemplated changing. You have Rebecca Quinn on your Instagram and your socials now.

Chapter 3: How do Seth and Becky navigate their relationship in the public eye?

168.514 - 172.693 Unknown

I'm like, maybe I should change. Maybe I should be Colby Lopez, a.k.a. Seth Rollins.

0

172.793 - 185.436 Seth Rollins

I don't know. It was really endearing in the Unreal doc, you know, when you were just like, well, is it weird if I call him Colby? Oh, yeah. Like when you guys are at home alone with each other, is he Colby or is he Seth?

0

185.516 - 191.346 Becky Lynch

Oh, he's Colby. I think I once called you Seth very early on, just like out of habit.

0

191.326 - 192.387 Unknown

Like to my face?

0

192.548 - 195.451 Becky Lynch

Yeah. And then you're like, ooh, hated that.

195.511 - 195.731 Seth Rollins

Oh, yeah.

195.752 - 197.193 Unknown

I would be so weirded out if you called me that.

197.213 - 199.416 Seth Rollins

How did you come up with Seth Rollins?

Chapter 4: What are the physical demands of being a professional wrestler?

199.536 - 203.301 Seth Rollins

Because it's like such a, like, it's a, like a name. It's just a name.

0

203.461 - 222.784 Unknown

Anyone could have that name. It's a cool name. I made, see, I don't know that it's a cool name. I made a list. When I got hired at WWE in 2010, I had to sign my life away. And they wanted to own your character. So I had to come up with a new name. I was Tyler Black before that. That was my other alias. But I had to use a different name so WWE could own it, and I came up with a list.

0

223.104 - 229.65 Unknown

I had first names. I had last names. I took it into the American Dream Dusty Rhodes, and he went through them.

Chapter 5: How did becoming parents change Seth and Becky's perspectives?

229.67 - 253.574 Unknown

He had his little glasses, and he was looking at them, and he's saying them all out loud. I think he liked Seth because he spoke with a lisp, and it was funny for him to say Seth. He's like, that's it, baby. Seth Rollins. That's it now. I'm a marquee WrestleMania. Seth Rollins. That's it. That's it. We're done. You got it, baby. Go do your thing. Anything that comes out of Dusty's mouth is gold.

0

253.715 - 255.918 Unknown

He's one of the greatest talkers in the history of our business.

0

257.46 - 260.565 Nick Viall

Both of you have gone by so many different names.

0

Chapter 6: What was the process of choosing their wrestling names?

261.106 - 274.506 Nick Viall

How common is that in your space? I feel like in the musical space, most people start out with a name and then they're like 10 years in, like, I hate that name, but I got to keep going by it because that's what everyone knows me as.

0

274.672 - 291.274 Becky Lynch

Yeah, I'm a big fan of a moniker because I hate my name. I, yeah. Rebecca Quinn? No, I love Rebecca Quinn. That's a great name. Rebecca Quinn rocks. Yeah. What a great name. Becky Lynch. Lynch, Lynch. It doesn't roll off the tongue. And how did you get that name? It's so harsh.

0

Chapter 7: How do Seth and Becky handle injuries in their profession?

291.995 - 319.676 Becky Lynch

Well, unlike Kobe over here, I was... Way more often on the chopping block. So they I came up with names that I thought were super cool. And then they kept saying no, no, no. And then eventually they just got like a combination of Becky and an Irish name. And Lynch was one of the ones that they approved. And I kind of wanted to keep a bit of my own name so that it's less confusing than Seth.

0

319.696 - 333.653 Becky Lynch

Two different names. You know, that at least whenever the time comes that I'm done, I can still be Rebecca, Becky and then Lynch. And I didn't feel like I could push back. So I was just like, OK.

0

333.633 - 340.921 Nick Viall

What is the criteria for choosing a name? Like if, you know, them saying, who is them that are choosing?

0

341.342 - 344.445 Becky Lynch

Who is them? That is the question.

0

Chapter 8: What future aspirations do Seth and Becky have outside of wrestling?

344.506 - 347.649 Becky Lynch

Who is them? I don't know, actually. Who was them?

0

347.669 - 350.412 Nick Viall

You're like, I've only spoken to a black screen. I don't know who it is.

0

350.432 - 351.794 Becky Lynch

Who was them or is them?

0

351.874 - 366.337 Unknown

It was a combination between our legal department and our creative team. I mean, you had to have a name that nobody else had. So if there was a Brian, you couldn't be a Brian. If there was a, you know, your last name had to be different. You know, there was no Seth and there was no Rollins, which was, you know, two of the reasons I had the names on the list.

0

366.498 - 388.92 Unknown

And when I got signed, you couldn't – Colby was not an option. I couldn't use a different spelling of Colby. I couldn't be Kobe. I couldn't do anything that was close to it because they were so, like – anal about we need to own this character and you can't take any of it with you so that's just how it was back then they were very it's different now how long ago was this?

388.94 - 410.147 Unknown

this was 15 years ago yeah 15 years ago the people in charge were like no we need to own every facet of this character in perpetuity you can't have any of it so even Tyler Black I tried to sell them Tyler Black because I wanted to keep it because I had made a name off of Tyler Black but they wouldn't they would not buy it what changed? Um, administration administration. Yeah.

410.167 - 428.35 Unknown

I suppose they just, they became, they got, you know, new people in, they figured out, you know, oh, we can actually do a 50 50 deal on it. We can figure something out. Like they would, they would just, you know, if they just, people at the top of the time were just very like, it's slippery slope. So we're not gonna even go down that road. Here's how it's gonna be.

428.37 - 430.853 Unknown

Figure it out, deal with it later. That's fascinating.

430.833 - 449.837 Seth Rollins

I mean, it's really fascinating the industry you guys are in. I mean, I remember the days of Hulk Hogan, Bam Bam Bigelow, Jake the Snake, The Ultimate Warrior. And obviously we love like reality TV. Our entire audience loves TV and just like the behind the scenes. And I feel like wrestling is like the OG thing.
