WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins was betrayed by Bron Breakker, Bronson Reed, and Paul Heyman on Monday, jettisoning him from The Vision. The move was a shock, considering how united the group had been just days earlier at WWE Crown Jewel. In keeping with recent reports from PWInsider and Fightful Select, the attack on Rollins was the results of the corporate being forced to call an audible.
In keeping with PWInsider, Rollins was seen together with his arm in a sling following his Crown Jewel Title victory over Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes on the Perth PLE, and the betrayal was written to get Rollins off of TV while he deals with a shoulder injury, noting that Rollins hurt himself performing a coast-to-coast headbutt, but managed to complete the match and defeat Rhodes. Fightful Select confirmed PWInsider’s report, noting that the split from Rollins wasn’t within the plans for Breakker until next yr. The corporate was forced to hurry up Breakker and Reed’s ascension because of Rollins’s injury, which was described as a “heavy creative pivot.”
There isn’t any word on the specifics of Rollins’s injury or how long he’ll be out of motion, but he’s reportedly set to undergo testing later this week. Rollins had been in the midst of a feud with CM Punk over the World Heavyweight Championship, which Rollins won from Punk after cashing in his Money In The Bank briefcase at SummerSlam. Paradoxically, Rollins’s cash-in was built around inflated rumors of Rollins being injured, which included Rollins’s own child being in on the ruse.
