WWE's reigning World Heavyweight Champion, Seth Rollins, recently found himself in a lighthearted predicament during a tag team main event on Monday Night Raw. As Rollins partnered with AJ Styles to face off against Damian Priest and Finn Balor, a playful moment unfolded that involved an unexpected encounter with SmackDown Women's Champion, Rhea Ripley.

Taking a cue from the legendary Shawn Michaels, Rollins cleverly slid out of the ring and playfully put his arm around Ripley, who initially mistook him for one of her own teammates. The resulting exchange between the two superstars provided a lighthearted and comical moment for fans.

Michaels himself had executed a similar spot with Melina during a tag team match years ago on WWE television, adding an extra layer of nostalgia to the incident.
