#3 Seth Rollins almost passed out at WrestleMania 35

Seth Rollins picked up one of the biggest victories of his WWE career so far when he defeated Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 35 to win the Universal Championship for the first time.

Eagle-eyed fans may have noticed that the former Shield member appeared to lose his footing and stumble as he walked along the stage area before he made his way down the entrance ramp for his big match.

Now, six months later, the man himself has revealed in a ‘Break It Down’ video on WWE’s YouTube channel that he was so “amped up” and “fired up” for his opening match at WrestleMania that he legitimately almost passed out during his own entrance.

“No joke, I don’t know if you can ever catch it but there’s a moment where I’m drifting kind of back to the centre of the ramp, and I’m glossed over because when you get so fired up and it’s that feeling when you’ve been lying down or sitting down for too long and you stand up and you get light-headed.”

As you can see from the 08:56 mark of the video above, Rollins looked to be disorientated as he tried to steady himself before walking down the enormous WrestleMania ramp at MetLife Stadium.
