There was fire, there was ice. There was also an entrance song, but that’s more of a theme. Either way, Seth Rollins channeled the powers of the Night King from Game of Thrones to win the Intercontinental title at Wrestlemania 34. Look at him with those cold, blue eyes and outfit that only someone that’s dead and north of The Wall would wear.

Rollins’ win over Finn Balor and the Miz came after multiple Curb Stomps to both men, which is a maneuver that obviously needs to be featured in the final season of Game of Thrones when it airs in 2019. Rollins winning the IC strap also makes him the last member of The Shield to win the Grand Slam, which is kind of the WWE equivalent to Westerosians “making the eight,” but maybe not when you really think about it.
All of this love for the Night King makes sense. Ahead of last year’s seventh season of Game of Thrones, Rollins gave a prediction of how the show would end that was decidedly chilly.
“I predict the Night King comes out on top. The Night Walkers are going to destroy everybody. We will see if Dany and Jon Snow can link up and burn them to the ground, but that Night King has a big army. It is going to be a hot next two seasons.”
The way it’s looking right now, Rollins could be right, and this time next year, perhaps there will be a White Walker ruling both Westeros and the WWE.
