Seth Rollins Discusses “CrossFit Jesus” Monkier, How He Trains

Seth Rollins was recently interviewed by ESPN, where he discussed a number of topics. Most notably was how CrossFit changed his life, and how the “CrossFit Jesus” moniker came to be.

Below are some highlights from the interview:

On how he trains:

“I’m 6-foot-1, 205 pounds. I have to move around in the ring a lot. I can’t be like a Braun Strowman or an Andre the Giant,” Rollins said. “They kind of get to just stand there and throw bodies around. I’m the body that gets thrown around.”

On how he adjusted his training regiment following his torn ACL in 2015:

“If I did too much, even just from an upper body standpoint, my body would have to focus on repairing the tissue in my chest or my shoulders or my lats from doing a workout, and it would take a little bit of the emphasis off of repairing my knee,” said Rollins, who returned to the ring in five-and-a-half months.

On “CrossFit Jesus:”

“I think I bear a striking resemblance to the western version of Jesus Christ of Nazareth facially with my own beard and long hair and stuff like that,” Rollins said, “and I’m always talking about CrossFit, so somewhere along the line, somebody put that together and came up with the CrossFit Jesus moniker, which is fantastic. I think it’s wonderful. It’s funny and it’s correct and my wrestling school made a T-shirt out of it.”

They also discuss further training, along with comments from Bayley, Cesaro and Josh Gallegos, their CrossFit personal trainer.
