Fans watching WrestleMania 35 live may have spotted that Seth Rollins stumbled during his entrance before working Brock Lesnar. Nobody really knew what the hell was up with that at the time, but Rollins told all on WWE.com, and it's actually fairly scary stuff.

It turns out he almost lost consciousness on the stage.

As he was gearing up for the bout behind the curtain at MetLife Stadium, Seth could feel his heart pounding hard and he was light-headed. By the time he stormed out onto the stage for his entrance, Rollins felt like he might pass out. That's why he looked shaky on his feet, and it's why the announcers didn't say a thing about it.

The moment wasn't deliberate or a work, but one of those random real moments. Seth worried for a split second that he might spoil the opening match of WrestleMania by getting dizzy and falling down live on air. Thankfully, he was able to quickly regain his bearings and open the show as planned.
