Seth Rollins has explained why Becky Lynch is the greatest Irish export in American history and the very best women's wrestler of all time — it's not just him saying it. The World Heavyweight Champion was guest-hosting the NFL Network's Good Morning Football show.

Seth Rollins Power Ranks Becky Lynch

Any WWE fan will be well aware that Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch are a married couple, given their recent feud with CM Punk and his wife, the returning AJ Lee. They suffered a defeat in a mixed tag match at Wrestlepalooza last month but their strong bond remains intact while leading the group 'The Vision'.

Seth Rollins is also dipping his toes into hosting the NFL's Good Morning Football show, and he used the opportunity to tell the world just how influential an Irish talent his wife is. The Visionary hilariously gave an 'Ireland Power Ranking' and refused to include U2 lead singer Bono but did name Oppenheimer star Cillian Murphy as an honourable mention.

The top five of Rollins' Ireland Power Rankings included Lynch at five, again at four. She also squeezed in at three, came runner-up in second place and took first spot on the podium. He explained:

"I am not talking about Bono. I am talking about the greatest female wrestler in the history of our industry. And it's not just me saying it, everybody is saying it. That's the power ranking right there; one, two, three, four, five. Look, look at that beautiful woman. There is no power ranking without one of one, the Man, Big Time Becks, the greatest to ever do it. My beautiful, amazing, hot Irish wife, Becky Lynch."

Rollins responded to a fan's power ranking of the best Irish exports that excluded Lynch, much to the fury of the World Heavyweight Champion. He warned such individuals not to mess with his family, consisting of the two "greatest" male and female wrestlers in history.

Becky Lynch: Seth Rollins Is 'Best Wrestler & Father in The World'

Who is truly the best wrestler in the world today is up for debate due to the world-class athletes that WWE, AEW, and other brands possess. But for most WWE fans, Seth Rollins will be up there as a contender because he's one of the best all-round talents whose hardworking mentality has never gone unnoticed by his peers, fans or Hall of Famers.

They are not just admirers of Rollins' work ethic; so too is his wife, who not only feels he's the greatest wrestler in the business but also the number one father on the planet. The Women's Intercontinental Champion penned a tribute to her husband ahead of WrestleMania 41 earlier this year:

"There is no one in this business that works harder or is more dedicated or who gives back more than (Rollins). At every WWE show you’ll find him backstage at the monitor watching every match and ready to give advice to whoever wants to pick his brain. He spends his free time training his wrestling students and watching their matches and giving feedback. He is actually the best wrestler in the world.

Lynch added, "He is also the best and most loving father and husband in the world. And we cannot wait to watch him as he steps into the main event of WrestleMania tonight. He is everything he says he is and so so much more."

Rollins has been with WWE since 2010 and is a six-time WWE World Champion, having main-evented WrestleMania twice. He first cashed in on Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar to win his first world title at WrestleMania 31. He then defeated Reigns and CM Punk on night one of this year's Mania.

The 39-year-old is believed to have started dating Lynch in early 2019, and the pair married on June 29, 2021. They share a four-year-old daughter named Roux who was born on December 4, 2020.
