Former WWE world champion Seth Rollins is a huge metal fan, and as he revealed to us when we interviewed him last year, his favorite band is Parkway Drive (he referred to them as "his jam"). So, it comes as no surprise that when the dude had a day off, he went out of his way to check out a gig of his favorite band. Parkway Drive are currently on the road with We Came As Romans and Counterparts (dates here), and had a stop in Chicago last night.
A bunch of fans in the crowd spotted him and posted some video on Twitter. Rollins was right up front, headbaging and singing along:

The band posted about the occasion on their Instagram page, noting that this was the first time Rollins was in the pit in 10 years.

That's very cool of Rollins, who resides in Iowa, to fly in to Chicago on a day off to catch his favorite band. You can see him fawning over Parkway Drive in our 2015 interview below, about 5:30 in:
