The arrangement lets him talk about topics beyond wrestling and showcase his football knowledge on a major sports platform.
Netflix NFL Coverage and His Bears Fandom
Beyond ESPN, Rollins has appeared on Netflix's NFL programming and is set to participate in the network's Christmas Day broadcast of the Bears-Packers game. Wrestling Headlines noted that Rollins' expanded presence outside WWE includes these Netflix opportunities. As a Chicago Bears fan, the holiday game is a natural fit for his sports-media interests.
Why Rollins Stepped Up His Media Ambitions in 2024
Rollins said he decided to pursue sports-media work more seriously after his 2024 match against Bryan. The expanded ESPN and Netflix roles give him a chance to demonstrate expertise beyond wrestling. When his current WWE deal expires in three years—making him 43—he'll weigh whether to chase a larger broadcasting role or continue wrestling full-time. eWrestling News reported that Rollins called his multi-year 2024 contract "big money," setting him up financially to explore new opportunities.
No Immediate Exit From WWE in the Cards
Despite his media expansion, Rollins is happy balancing both wrestling and broadcasting right now. Ringside News reported that Rollins hasn't ruled out a larger role in sports media when his next contract comes up, but he's not planning an immediate departure from WWE. He wants to keep performing as long as he feels he's contributing meaningfully to the company.
