In a surprising revelation, WWE superstar Seth Rollins has credited none other than ‘Stone Cold’ Steve Austin for the birth of his daughter, Roux. Speaking on ‘Good Morning Football’, Rollins recounted the pivotal moment that led to his and Becky Lynch’s parenthood journey.
The story begins in March 2020, during the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. WWE, like the rest of the world, was navigating unprecedented circumstances. On March 16th, ‘3:16 Day’, a tradition where a wrestler shares drinks with the legendary Steve Austin, took place on Monday Night RAW.
Rollins described the scene:
“So, Stone Cold is the reason I have a daughter. Flashback to March 2020, everybody knows COVID shuts down the world, right? First show post-COVID, post-shutdown, it’s 3:16 Day on RAW, and it’s customary for somebody to drink with Stone Cold in the ring.”
At the time, Becky Lynch, known as ‘The Man’, was arguably the most popular figure in women’s wrestling. Rollins explained:
“At the time, the hottest thing in professional wrestling was my wife, ‘The Man’ Becky Lynch. She happened to break open one, two, three, four cold ones with Stone Cold.”
That night proved to be a turning point. Rollins revealed, “At the end of RAW that night, she was like, ‘You know what? I think it’s time to take some time off to have a baby.’” He concluded, “If it weren’t for Steve Austin, I wouldn’t be a dad. So hell yeah, thanks, Steve-O, you’re the man!”
Furthermore, Becky Lynch has also spoken about the potential of her daughter following in her and Seth’s footsteps. When asked about Roux’s potential wrestling career, Lynch expressed a supportive stance. “If she wants to. I want her to do whatever makes her happy, and it’s afforded us a great life.”
