Seth Rollins Possibly Written Off WWE Due to Legitimate Injury – Seth Rollins’ shocking betrayal by his faction, The Vision, during the closing moments of this week’s WWE RAW appears to have been done to write the World Heavyweight Champion off television due to a real shoulder injury.
Rollins was seen favoring his shoulder during the Crown Jewel premium live event, where he defeated Cody Rhodes to become the new WWE Crown Jewel Champion. After executing a risky coast-to-coast move, he appeared to be in visible discomfort, prompting immediate speculation about a possible injury. Reports later indicated that Rollins was spotted backstage before the RAW taping wearing a sling, and photos circulating on social media confirmed that he was still protecting his shoulder prior to the show.
The episode ended with The Vision imploding, as Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed turned on Rollins following CM Punk’s victory in the number one contender’s match. After the ambush, Paul Heyman aligned himself with Breakker and Reed, marking the apparent dissolution of The Vision. The brutal assault on Rollins effectively served as a storyline explanation to remove him from television while he recovers.
Rollins has a long history of in-ring injuries. In 2016, he was forced to relinquish the WWE World Heavyweight Championship after tearing his ACL, MCL, and medial meniscus during a live event match against Kane. That setback kept him sidelined for seven months. Over the years, he has also battled recurring shoulder and back issues, though he has consistently returned to top form each time.
At this time, WWE has not confirmed the extent of Rollins’ injury or how long he will be out of action. However, the way the storyline unfolded on RAW has positioned him as a sympathetic figure, likely setting the stage for a major babyface return. When he does come back, a heated feud with his former allies Breakker and Reed seems inevitable—a rivalry that could headline future pay-per-view events.
