Is Seth Rollins injury Legit or a WWE Work?

Seth Rollins injury: Seth Rollins is reportedly injured and has been pulled from WWEâ€s Japan tour and is expected to undergo shoulder surgery “as soon as possible.†The injury appears to be legitimate, not a WWE storyline (work).

He suffered the injury during his match with Cody Rhodes at Crown Jewel in Perth. Rollins was originally scheduled to face CM Punk in Tokyo on October 17 and then team with Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed on October 18, but he has now been removed from both shows. Updated lineups list Punk vs. Dominik Mysterio and Punk & Nakamura vs Breakker & Reed instead.

After Monday Night Raw, Rollins was seen wearing a sling, confirming the seriousness of the injury. Reports from Dave Meltzer (Wrestling Observer) suggest the 39-year-old World Heavyweight Champion will require surgery for a shoulder or possible rotator cuff injury and could be sidelined for several months.

Fightful Selectâ€s Sean Ross Sapp reported that WWE is keeping the exact diagnosis private until further medical tests are complete. Some within WWE are hopeful itâ€s only a broken arm, which would allow Rollins to return by late 2025.

WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray on Seth Rollins injury

WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray has commented on Seth Rollinsâ€s injury, which occurred after his match with Cody Rhodes at Crown Jewel in Australia. Rollins was betrayed by Bronson Reed, Bron Breakker, and Paul Heyman on Monday Night Raw, marking a major turn in his storyline.

Speaking on Busted Open Radio, Bully Ray questioned whether the injury might be part of a storyline, saying:

“Weâ€re not sure because the heel has already used an injury to his advantage and pulled the wool over everybodyâ€s eyes. Is he doing it again? We donâ€t know, but weâ€re going to stick around and watch.â€

He added that Rollinsâ€s past use of worked injuries makes it difficult to tell whatâ€s real and whatâ€s storyline, suggesting this could even be “an elaborate work†that began with his earlier injury angle.

Possible WWE Plans for the World Heavyweight Championship After Seth Rollinsâ€s Injury

Due to Seth Rollinsâ€s injury, WWE is considering multiple options for the World Heavyweight Championship. Rollins suffered a shoulder injury during his Crown Jewel 2025 match against Cody Rhodes. Reports indicate he will be out of action for a few months.

CM Punk earned a title shot on Raw in Australia, and with Rollins injured, WWE could move forward with a match between Punk and Breakker. Breakker left with the belt after attacking Rollins.

WWE could declare the title vacant and organize a tournament to crown a new champion at Survivor Series 2025. CM Punk would remain a top contender, but other names could enter the mix. This approach mirrors 2015, when Rollins vacated the WWE Championship due to a knee injury.

If Rollinsâ€s recovery time is shorter, around three to four months, WWE might let him keep the title during his rehabilitation. This would be similar to early 2024, when Rollins held the championship despite a knee injury suffered in a match against Jinder Mahal in January, and returned in April at WrestleMania 40.
