Seth Rollins has been the trending topic of the day after fighting off a fan who invaded last night's episode of Monday Night RAW.
Rollins is a professionally trained wrestler and a self-confessed Crossfit-obsessed athlete, which means that he is in superb condition.
The former world champion was able to prevent himself from suffering serious injuries as part of last night's attack, but it's worth noting that this isn't the first time the former Shield member has grappled with non-wrestlers.
The following list looks at five times that Seth Rollins has wrestled with stars who were not contracted to WWE.
#5. Seth Rollins attacks Dominik Mysterio before he signs with WWE
Seth Rollins stepped into a feud with The Mysterio family in the summer of 2020 which included Rey's son Dominik, his daughter Aalyah and his wife Angie.
The four stars were part of several segments on RAW, whilst not officially being signed with the company. Dominik signed with the company on an episode of Monday Night RAW on August 11th, which made his match with Rollins at SummerSlam his first official bout for the company.
This means that when Rollins and Murphy attacked Dominik the week before on RAW, he wasn't officially a superstar.
Dominik had it coming since he had attacked Rollins from behind the week before and then came out and tried to attack The Messiah from behind again the following week.
This time Rollins was ready for it and was able to fight back. Whilst this assault was nothing compared to the one that the younger Mysterio was forced to endure the following week when he was officially a superstar, it was still pretty rough.
Seth Rollins and Murphy were on the same page at this point but were still unable to stop Mysterio, who took on both stars and was even able to deliver a 619 to the former world champion before he made his way back up the ramp.
This was all before Dominik was officially signed as a superstar and was just 23 years old.
#4. Seth Rollins attacks Edge on Monday Night RAW
Seth Rollins was one of WWE's biggest heels back in 2014 and he proved this when he attacked Hall of Famer Edge on an episode of RAW.
Rollins was working alongside The Authority at the time and needed to find a way to bring them back to power after Survivor Series. Edge was part of the show but was retired at the time and wasn't able to be physically part of proceedings, but that didn't stop Rollins from attacking him.
Edge was used as a bargaining tool in the feud between Rollins and John Cena after threatening to stomp the former world champion, Cena reinstated The Authority and The Rated R Superstar was spared. Rollins still tried to attack him afterward, but he was saved by Cena.
This was later used in the storyline between Seth Rollins and Edge when the 11-time World Champion was cleared to return in 2020. The two men collided several times at both SummerSlam and Crown Jewel before both officially being drafted over to RAW.
#3. Seth Rollins attacks Jon Stewart on The Daily Show
Seth Rollins isn't a superstar that is easily provoked, but Jon Stewart was someone who was able to get under his skin quite quickly.
Stewart and Rollins entered a feud in the spring of 2015 after the star made an appearance on the Daily Show and Stewart then appeared on Monday Night RAW.
As part of the Daily Show segment, Rollins and Stewart brawled at the end as the cameras went off the air. When the TV show host then made an appearance on RAW, he was shoved by Rollins several times before being saved by Randy Orton.
A few months later at SummerSlam, Stewart made his return to WWE TV and helped Seth Rollins win the United States Championship and retain the World Championship in the main event. The star later revealed that he "did it for Ric Flair" in order for the star to retain his record since it was a winner-take-all match that would have seen John Cena equal Flair's record.
#2. Seth Rollins grapples with a fan on WWE Monday Night RAW
As noted above, Seth Rollins was attacked by a fan this past week on Monday Night RAW.
The former world champion finished his brawl with Finn Balor and was heading back up the ramp when he was rugby tackled by a fan. The fan came from out of nowhere, but Rollins was able to quickly lock him into a guillotine and was able to hold him until security made their way over.
The fan was then escorted out of the arena and later handed over to the NYPD. A few hours later WWE released a statement which revealed that Rollins had suffered a swollen lip as part of the attack, but refused medical attention backstage.
The 24-year-old who was responsible for the attack was arrested and later charged with attempted assault and disrupting a live sporting event.
Security was able to act fast to avoid much disruption to the show and as soon as it was made apparent that there was a fan attack, the camera angle was changed and the commentators ignored the incident.
Several referees and security headed out to help Seth Rollins, including Adam Pearce and Michael Hayes. At one point it was even revealed that Rollins' wife Becky Lynch came to the entrance ramp in order to check on her husband after the fan had been escorted out of the arena.
#1. Seth Rollins is attacked by a fan on Monday Night RAW
This week on RAW, Seth Rollins was tackled by a fan as he made his way backstage. This isn't the first time Rollins has had a run-in with a member of the WWE Universe.
Back in 2016, whilst Rollins was part of a feud with Finn Balor, there was another fan who wanted to square up to the WWE Superstar.
Rollins was sitting a promo at the time and the fan ran into the ring and looked to attack the star before he was taken away by security. Rollins was shaken up by the invasion but was able to continue his segment despite the interruption.
The video above shows the end of the attack when the fan had already been dragged out of the ring by security.
It was later reported that the fan was facing criminal charges for assault and criminal trespass after being detained by Corpus Christi police. The fan had bitten a member of security as he was wrestled to the ground.
