Seth Rollins makes surprise appearance at final Berwyn Eagles Club show

The Berwyn Eagles Club is saying goodbye to professional wrestling, so Seth Rollins showed up in person so he could say goodbye to it.

The WWE star made a surprise appearance at Friday’s AAW Wrestling show, one of the last wrestling events at the building. Following an altercation between wrestlers and a fan at a show in March that included a fake stabbing, the building announced it will not be booking any future wrestling events. 

Rollins opened the show by coming out to his WWE music, but the crowd quickly acknowledged his past in the region, chanting his indie name of Tyler Black.

Rollins noted his emotional reaction as the crowd welcomed him home. He plugged his Black & Brave Wrestling Academy, located a few hours from the building, and noted some of his students were on the show. He said he needed to be there for the building’s last show because he loves professional wrestling. 

He then thanked the fans for letting him live out his childhood dream, “not just at WrestleMania, but to wrestle in rings like this, in places like the Berwyn Eagles Club, for promotions like AAW, for promoters and human beings like Danny Daniels, and in front of fans like you, because you are just like me.”

He thanked the fans for supporting himself, AAW, and professional wrestling. 

Cagematch lists Rollins with 36 matches in Berwyn Eagles Club from 2005 to 2010. 

The last wrestling show in the building will be an indie lucha event on Sunday, April 26.
