It seems that Rollins could be out of action for some time, since WWE has already replaced him on the upcoming Japan tour.

Rollins was initially set to defend his World Championship against CM Punk on Friday, October 17th in Japan, but will be replaced by CM Punk, who's up against Dominik Mysterio, and the following day, Punk will step in for the tag team match against Bronson Reed and Bron Breakker teaming with Shinsuke Nakamura.

What does the future look like for Seth Rollins?

Seth Rollins appears to have suffered a real injury as part of the Crown Jewel match against Cody Rhodes. Rollins delivered a Coast to Coast that saw him land on his shoulder, and speculation suggests he suffered a torn rotator cuff.

If this injury requires surgery, Rollins could be sidelined for the rest of the year, necessitating a rewrite of any upcoming WWE plans.

Rollins is also still the World Heavyweight Champion, so WWE will need to decide what to do with the title while he is off TV, even though it seems that Bron Breakker left RAW with the title and could now keep it if needed.

CM Punk is the number one contender for the title following RAW, but it's unlikely that he will be able to cash in a shot at Seth Rollins any time soon. Rollins will undergo further tests this week to assess the severity of his injury and the expected duration of his absence from WWE.
