In a stunning yet heartfelt revelation, WWE superstars Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch have confirmed that they plan to leave WWE by the end of 2025. The power couple, both champions in their own right, shared their intentions to step away from the spotlight of professional wrestling and transition into a quieter, more grounded chapter of their lives in Davenport, Iowa — Rollins’ hometown.
The couple revealed that they have already purchased a charming home in the heart of Davenport for $372,000, where they plan to settle down with their daughter, Roux. But retirement from the ring doesn’t mean stepping out of the public eye completely — the pair also announced their plans to open a local coffee shop, fulfilling a longtime dream to build something meaningful in the community they call home.
Wrestling Royalty
Rollins and Lynch, whose real names are Colby Lopez and Rebecca Quin respectively, have had careers that rank among the most storied in modern WWE history. Rollins is a multi-time world champion, former Shield member, and one of the most dynamic performers of the past decade. Lynch, dubbed “The Man,” rose to become one of the most popular and influential female wrestlers of all time, headlining WrestleMania 35 and helping to elevate women’s wrestling to new heights.
Together, the couple represents a new era of wrestling power couples who have not only shared the ring but also built a family and a life beyond it. Their 2021 marriage and the birth of their daughter marked major personal milestones amid their already illustrious careers.
Time for Change
In a joint interview, Rollins and Lynch explained their decision to leave WWE as one rooted in balance and the pursuit of happiness beyond the constant grind of life on the road.
“We’ve given so much of ourselves to this business,” Rollins said. “And it’s been incredible — but now it’s time to give to ourselves and to our family.”
Lynch echoed the sentiment: “Wrestling will always be a part of us. But we’re ready to live a different kind of dream — one where we can be present for each other, for Roux, and for our community.”
A Coffee Shop with Heart
The couple’s new venture is expected to be a cozy, locally-owned coffee shop that reflects their eclectic tastes and passion for community-building. While no name has been announced yet, they confirmed the location would be in the downtown Davenport area, with plans to open by mid-2026.
Rollins, who already owns and operates Black & Brave Wrestling Academy in Davenport, is no stranger to entrepreneurship. His experience mentoring new talent and managing a successful wrestling school will likely serve him well as he and Lynch step into this new business venture.
“We want it to be a place that feels like home — where people can hang out, talk wrestling, music, books, whatever,” said Rollins. “And of course, get great coffee.”
Legacy Beyond the Ring
As the wrestling world reacts to the news, fans and fellow superstars alike have expressed a mixture of admiration and bittersweet emotion. Many took to social media to thank the couple for their contributions and to wish them well on their next journey.
With their combined legacies already cemented in WWE history, Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch are choosing to bow out on their own terms — not in the shadow of fading careers, but at the height of their popularity and influence.
“It’s not goodbye forever,” Lynch added. “We’ll still be around. Just maybe with more espresso and fewer steel chairs.”
As 2025 draws to a close, the WWE Universe will undoubtedly celebrate the careers of two of its brightest stars — and perhaps plan a trip to Davenport for a
cup of coffee served by legends.
