WWE Strips Rollins of World Heavyweight Title Post-Surgery
In a dramatic development on the October 20 episode of WWE Raw, General Manager Adam Pearce announced significant news regarding the World Heavyweight Championship. Seth Rollins, the reigning champion, is sidelined due to injuries sustained during his recent match at Crown Jewel against Cody Rhodes.
Rollins faced an unexpected setback when he was attacked by The Vision during a previous episode, leading to “major surgery.” Given the extent of his injuries, Pearce revealed that Rollins would be stripped of his title as he will be out of action for an extended period.
Seth Rollins Stripped of the World Heavyweight Title
Rollins was not present in the arena to address this formidable situation. Last week, Bron Breakker made headlines by walking out with the World Heavyweight Championship belt. Pearce approached Breakker, requesting the return of the title in light of Rollins’ surgery.
Upcoming Championship Match
A new champion will be crowned on November 1 during Saturday Night’s Main Event. CM Punk is set to face the winner of a Battle Royal scheduled for later in the evening on Raw.
In a surprising twist, Paul Heyman took the microphone following Pearce’s announcement. He elaborated on The Vision’s shocking betrayal of Rollins, suggesting that he could not “shoulder” the future leadership of the faction. This revelation could be a significant blow to Rollins’ ego as he faces the aftermath of these events.
