Seth Rollins shared what his favourite ring name is in a recent GQ video.

Seth Rollins (Colby Daniel Lopez) has had a long and illustrious wrestling career, which started in 2004 in the independent circuit.

Post a stint with Ring of Honor under the ring name Tyler Black, he joined WWE in 2010 and worked his way up the ranks from its developmental program.

He is a Grand Slam Champion, having held all the major honors in the Stamford-based promotion. He has worked as both a heel and a babyface and is one of the modern era’s most recognizable and consistent wrestlers.

Rollins is currently out of action due to a shoulder injury, and he has been doing interviews and podcasts in the interim, many alongside his wife, WWE Star Becky Lynch.

Seth Rollins Reveals His Favourite Ring Name

Rollins has wrestled under multiple ring names as listed on his Wikipedia page. Taj The Destroyer and Tyler Black are two names that stand out.

In a recent appearance with GQ, he revealed that Taj The Destroyer might have been a name he used only a couple of times, but it’s the name Tyler Black that is his favourite, beating his WWE name, Seth Rollins, and also Seth “Freakin'” Rollins

Y’know what? I’m still sort of partial to Tyler Black

Even though more people know me as Seth Rollins than any other iteration of my name, including my government name, Tyler Black, I always have some..I don’t know, there’s a partiality to it.

Rollins and Lynch also appear on WWE: Unreal’s season 2, where they show the backstage segments of when the former faked an injury to win the World Heavyweight Championship
