M By Elegance Says Seth Rollins Still Critiques Her Matches

M by Elegance says she still leans on Seth Rollins for wrestling feedback even though she’s long since graduated from his classroom. The performer, formerly known as Maggie Lee, trained under Rollins at The Black and Brave Wrestling Academy before launching her in-ring career in 2022, and she says that relationship hasn’t faded now that she’s a signed talent working regularly on television.

According to M, Rollins doesn’t just send his students out into the world and move on. He keeps tabs on how they’re performing after matches, offering critiques and pointers even for wrestlers who are years removed from their formal training. For someone competing at the level M by Elegance is now, that kind of continued mentorship is a notable perk — most talents lose consistent access to their original trainers once they’re out on their own and working a full schedule.

Black and Brave has become one of the more respected independent training grounds in wrestling, largely because of Rollins’ hands-on involvement and the pipeline it’s built into WWE and beyond. The academy, which Rollins co-founded, has turned out a number of names who’ve gone on to sign with major promotions, and its reputation has only grown as more of its graduates land prominent spots on national television. M by Elegance’s comments reinforce something wrestlers who’ve come through the school have said before: Rollins treats the academy less like a side project and more like an ongoing responsibility, one that doesn’t end the moment a student steps into their first official match.

It also speaks to how Rollins, one of WWE’s top in-ring performers and a former world champion many times over, has continued to invest time in developing talent even as his own in-ring workload remains demanding. Balancing a main-event WWE schedule with actively coaching and reviewing tape for former students isn’t something every star-level performer bothers to do, and it’s part of why Black and Brave has built the credibility it has in a crowded independent training landscape.

For M by Elegance specifically, having that kind of feedback loop could matter as she continues to grow in her role as a full-time, television-level competitor. Wrestlers at every stage of their careers talk about the value of a trusted set of eyes who can spot habits or issues that get harder to self-correct once someone is working a heavier schedule. If Rollins is still watching her matches back and offering notes, it suggests the standard he set during her training hasn’t lowered just because she’s no longer walking through the academy’s doors every day.

Expect more Black and Brave alumni to echo similar sentiments as the academy’s roster of successful graduates continues to expand. Whether that continued oversight from Rollins becomes a bigger storyline around the academy’s growing reputation remains to be seen, but for now it’s another data point in how seriously he treats the school he helped build.
