Seth Rollins got soaked for a good cause, teaming up with former NFL linebacker Manti Te’o for the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge.
The WWE star appeared alongside Te’o in a video shared by Good Morning Football, with both men taking part in support of Chris Johnson and the fight against ALS. Te’o opened the video by explaining why they were there and thanking Johnson for his strength.
“What’s up, everybody? It’s Manti Te’o from Good Morning Football, and I also have my brother, Seth Freakin’ Rollins. We are here to do the Ice Bucket Challenge on behalf of Chris Johnson. Chris Johnson, we love you. Thank you for your strength. Thank you for your example, and we hope this helps just a little bit.”
Before getting hit with the freezing water, Te’o and Rollins had to pick the next person for the challenge. It did not take long for them to realize they had the same name in mind. “Would you have somebody?” Rollins answered immediately, “I do.” Te’o then asked whether they were thinking of the same person, and Rollins confirmed it.
“I think it might be the same person. I think it is. Kyle Brandt.”
That put Good Morning Football host Kyle Brandt directly on the clock.
“Kyle, you’re up, bro. Okay, let’s do this, shall we? We love you.”
Rollins and Te’o then took the plunge, helping bring more attention to ALS while challenging Brandt to keep it going. The moment showed a different side of Rollins away from WWE television, using his platform to back a cause that continues to affect families around the world.
Do you think Kyle Brandt will accept Seth Rollins and Manti Te’o’s challenge? Leave your feedback in the comments.
