Seth Rollins Stripped Of World Title, Plans To Crown New Champion Announced

Seth Rollins has officially been stripped of his WWE World Heavyweight Championship, and a new champion will be crowned soon.

During Mondayâ€s episode of WWE RAW, the trio of Bron Breakker, Paul Heyman, and Bronson Reed came out. Before much could be done, out came Adam Pearce. The RAW GM was quick to chastise Breakker and the group for their actions against Rollins. Pearce said that, as a result of the attack, Rollins had to have “major surgery,†and would be “on the shelf for a while.â€

As for Rollins†title, Pearce said that heâ€d have to strip Seth of it. As a result, a new champion will need to be crowned, and one will be soon. Pearce said that a battle royal tonight would determine an opponent for CM Punk. Those two will wrestle at Saturday Nightâ€s Main Event to crown the new champion.

Pearce and Breakker then had a stare down with one another. Pearce demanded the title Breakker had stolen back, and Breakker eventually acquiesced. With that done, it looks like we now have our eyes set on the future of the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.

Update:Jey Uso won the battle royal, and he will now face CM Punk for the World Heavyweight Championship at Saturday Nightâ€s Main Event on November 1.

Seth Rollins stripped of WWE World Heavyweight title following injury

The World Heavyweight title is vacant.

On Raw, Adam Pearce told Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed that due to their actions last week, Seth Rollins has undergone ‘major surgery†and as a result, Rollins has been stripped of the World Heavyweight Championship. A new champion will be crowned at Saturday Nightâ€s Main Event on November 1 when CM Punk will face the winner of a battle royal taking place on Raw.

After the announcement, Pearce asked Breakker to give him the title belt. Breakker intimidated Pearce into asking nicely before handing it to Paul Heyman, who then handed it to Pearce.

Rollins was injured during his match against Cody Rhodes at WWE Crown Jewel last weekend, injuring his shoulder to the point it will require surgery. The following Monday on Raw, a shock angle took place where Breakker speared Rollins, telling Reed and Heyman that they were either with him or against him. Both quickly jumped ship, leaving Rollins laying.

Following Pearceâ€s announcement, Heyman hinted at Rollins†injury, saying that Rollins couldnâ€t shoulder the responsibility of leading The Vision into the future.
