Seth Rollins may have walked away with a win over CM Punk inside a steel cage on WWE Raw, but fans have also noticed something different about him—his “Freakin” nickname is nowhere to be found.

For weeks, sharp-eyed viewers have pointed out that Rollins’ entrance graphic no longer includes “Freakin” in his name. Now, WWE’s official roster page has made the change official, listing him as just Seth Rollins instead of Seth “Freakin” Rollins.

Rollins has used the nickname since turning babyface in 2022, making it a staple of his persona. But this latest change suggests that WWE is moving away from the moniker altogether.

His last match took place on the March 10 edition of Raw on Netflix, where he picked up a controversial victory over CM Punk inside a steel cage. The win came after Roman Reigns pulled Rollins out of the cage, handing him the victory before beating him down in retaliation for what happened at Royal Rumble 2025.
