Despite Being ‘The Highest Paid Female Athlete In WWE’, Seth Rollins Feels Top Star Deserves Better: ‘I Think She Is Underappreciated’

Seth Rollins is at the top of his wrestling game right now. He is one of the most revered stars in the WWE. That’s clearly evident when fans sing his entrance music out in unison whenever he makes his way to the ring in his usual flamboyant style. But as he is enjoying great success in the WWE, he feels another superstar is not getting what she deserves.

According to Rollins, this female wrestler has been highly undervalued in the WWE in recent times.

Seth Rollins feels his wife Becky Lynch is “underappreciated” in the WWE

Seth Rollins is the current World Heavyweight Champion, and that automatically makes him one of the top two superstars in the WWE right now. The other obviously being ‘The Tribal Chief’ Roman Reigns. But as everything has been smooth sailing for Rollins in the company, the same can’t be said about his wife Becky Lynch.

Lynch has had a glorious career in the WWE winning the RAW and SmackDown Women’s Championship twice and four times respectively. She even won the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship once with Lita. But even then in the eyes of many fans she is still underappreciated and his husband is the latest to reaffirm that notion.

But post her return from her shoulder injury in November 2022, Lynch has just been involved in a feud with Trish Stratus. After that, she has been majorly appearing on NXT, where she is the current NXT Women’s Champion. But NXT is a place where WWE nurtures future talent and that’s perhaps why Rollins feels she isn’t get her due.

On his recent appearance on Lunch With Larry, the host asked Rollins what talents are under-appreciated on the current roster. Rollins replied, “On the current roster, shockingly, I think my wife is underappreciated. And then I would go with two guys who I think are really awesome, Chad Gable and Ivar of the Viking Raiders.” 

Hopefully, Triple H and Co listen to what Rollins has said and get Lynch back into the big title league soon. But as Rollins is feeling sorry for his wife, financially she should be the one feeling sorry for him.

Becky Lynch makes more money in the WWE than her hubby

Seth Rollins made his debut in the WWE in 2012 as part of The Shield. On the other hand, Becky Lynch made her main roster debut on RAW in 2015.

In spite of a 3 year difference, Lynch still makes more money than Rollins in the company. Lynch is currently the 5th highest-paid wrestler in the WWE. She is also the highest-paid female wrestler in the company.

She makes $3.1 million a year as per her latest contract. While Seth Rollins makes around $3 million a year. A clear difference of $100,000 per year. That being said, Rollins still wishes his wife success and wants her to return to the top soon. But what do you guys feel are the reasons that Becky Lynch has been so underappreciated post her return from injury?
