Seth Rollins, like many other wrestlers in the WWE, has reinvented himself time and time again. Since his main roster debut in 2013, Rollins has been the Architect, the Kingslayer, the Beastslayer, the Monday Night Messiah, and the Visionary. In every era, Rollins debuted unique gear. Sometimes his attire marked a special occasion, and other times he uses his gear to make pop culture references.

Like many other wrestlers, such as Johnny Gargano, Ricochet, the New Day, and Rey Mysterio, Rollins likes to use his gear as a way to express his love for comic books, his favorite action movies, and some iconic sports teams. With all that said, here's a list of Seth Rollins' most memorable ring attire through the years.
10 Thanos
Marvel's Infinity War was the blockbuster event of 2018. It seems that Rollins was also in on the hype for the latest MCU installment. This gear mimics the battle armor of Thanos, the big baddie who sought to eliminate half of the universe's population.
A nice touch on this gear is the golden boot, meant to imitate Thanos' infinity gauntlet. Much like Thanos uses his gauntlet to destroy his enemies, Seth's boot devastates his opponents when he hits them with his stomp.
9 Night Kingslayer
Believe it or not, Game of Thrones used to be a staple of pop culture before its horrendous finale. This gear, including the bright blue contacts, emulates the Night King from the TV series. The Night King is the leader of the White Walkers, and is the embodiment of pure evil. Seth actually wore this during his babyface run, but knocked it out of the park nonetheless.

Deadpool
Deadpool is a fan-favorite Marvel character, played by actor Ryan Reynolds. This gear from Seth mimics Deadpool's full-body costume, worn by the mercenary to cover his countless scars. Seth, fortunately, doesn't have that kind of carnage on his body, but still rocked the red and black look nonetheless.
7 Seth Mysterio
This gear was worn during Rollins' match against Rey Mysterio's son Dominick at 2020's SummerSlam. The attire isn't a tribute to one of Seth's favorite character, but rather part of the mind games he employs against his opponents.
This pink gear covered in question marks is a recreation of Rey Mysterio's gear at WCW's Halloween Havoc that he wore when he defeated Eddie Guerrero in a Mask vs Title match. While Rollins likely would've won the match without any mind games, making Dominick fight someone dressed as his dad certainly added a twist to their face-off.
6 Seth Ballins
Seth wore this gear at 2019's Survivor Series, where he represented Team Raw. It's inspired by the Michael Jordan-era of the Chicago Bulls, though it also looks a bit like a baseball jersey. Since Michael Jordan is widely regarded as one of the greatest athletes of all time, it makes sense that one of the best pro wrestlers in the world would seek to emulate him.
Another little tidbit about this gear is that it's his last PPV gear before turning heel. He would greatly change up his attire after turning, making this gear the end of an era.
5 Avengers: Endgame
We're back in the MCU with this attire inspired by the movie Avengers: Endgame. Seth's suit here recreates the time travel suits worn by the Avengers to travel through the multiverse and recollect the Infinity Stones.
Seth at this time was the Universal Champion, after defeating one of the most intimidating monsters in all of WWE, the Beast Brock Lesnar. Since Rollins was undoubtedly the top babyface of the WWE at the time, gear inspired by the current most popular superheroes only made sense.
4 Seth's Throwback
This attire, worn for Seth's match at the 2022 Royal Rumble, is another perfect example of Rollins' mind games. That night, he faced his former teammate, Roman Reigns. Wearing his old Shield gear was a way to mock Reigns, who after all this time is still broken up about Seth's betrayal of the group in 2014.
Though it's a look we've seen Seth in plenty of times before, the fact that the gear became an integral, tragically nostalgic part of his match's storyline puts it on this top ten list.
3 Snake Freakin' Plissken
This gear is perhaps one of Seth's most iconic looks ever. It was the first set of gear he wore after turning on the Shield and joining Triple H's Authority in 2014. Before, he wore the Shield's SWAT team-esque body armor. This new gear marked a new style of bodysuit by the villainous Rollins.
It's inspired by John Carpenter's character Snake Plissken from the movie Escape from New York. This character was also the inspiration behind Solid Snake from the Metal Gear Solid video game franchise.
2 X-Man And Wife
This gear, worn at Extreme Rules in 2019, was inspired by Wolverine and the X-Men. Whether it's more so inspired by Hugh Jackman's Wolverine or Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely’s New X-Men comic book run is unclear, but it's likely a mix of the two.
Something else that was fun about this gear is that the black and yellow color scheme perfectly matched his wife Becky Lynch's gear. This made Seth's X-Men attire the perfect thing to wear when tag teaming with Becky against their heel opponents, like Baron Corbin and Lacey Evans.
1 White Gear
This is most likely Seth's most memorable gear, especially for those who've been longtime fans of the Architect. It was worn at SummerSlam in 2015, where Rollins faced John Cena in a "Winner Take All" match for the WWE and United States Championships.
White gear is traditionally worn for very important matches. When a wrestler comes out wearing white, you know what's about to happen is going to be a very big deal. Despite the fans' love for Seth's white attire, he hasn't worn it since, reportedly due to Vince McMahon's unfavorable opinion of it.
