Good news for Seth Rollins amid WWE hiatus

Seth Rollins' stellar run as the WWE World Heavyweight Champion ended when he got injured in Perth, Australia. Recently, The Visionary provided a positive update on his injury.

WWE Crown Jewel became a defining moment in Seth Rollins' career as he defeated Cody Rhodes in a one-on-one match and became the second-ever Crown Jewel Champion in the promotion's history. Unfortunately, Rollins pushed himself too hard in the match and injured his shoulder.

All plans around The Visionary were either changed or scrapped, and the 39-year-old RAW star went on a hiatus. In an appearance on The Rich Eisen Show, the Men's Grand Slam Champion revealed that he's on track with his recovery, as he recently took the brace off.

"We're on track. Yeah. Yeah, I got the brace off like last week, middle of last week. So, it was nice. It's nice to walk around like a regular person. I know there's a lot og skepticism in your question, TJ. But you can consult my surgeon... I'm feeling alright. It's nice to be able to get around without the brace. I'll say that. We're on track," Rollins said.

Given the original reported timeline, it's good news for Seth Rollins and his fans, as it means a quicker return, possibly in April for WrestleMania 42.

What were Seth Rollins' original plans before WWE Crown Jewel 2025?

Seth Rollins kicked off an intense feud at WWE SummerSlam when he conned everyone and cashed in his Money in the Bank contract on CM Punk to become the new World Heavyweight Champion. Later, The Vision further tormented The Second City Saint and stopped him from coming anywhere near the title.

Unfortunately, the 39-year-old RAW star got injured in Australia, and the management decided to pivot. Instead of The Visionary, Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed continued their feud with CM Punk. However, there were major plans for the Men's WWE Grand Slam Champion at WrestleMania 42.

According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter (WON), Rollins was originally planned to defend the title against The Original Tribal Chief in Las Vegas, Nevada. Sadly, those plans are out of the question, as Reigns is now going after Cody Rhodes, and Breakker is set to face Punk for the World Heavyweight Championship next month.
