The post Seth Rollins has been eliminated from the 2026 WWE King of the Ring tournament appeared first on NoDQ.com: WWE and AEW Coverage.

“WrestleMania this year was a bit tricky for me, man. I tore my rotator cuff back in October when I was holding that title. I lost it. I had to give the title up. I didn’t get beaten in a match for it. I had to forfeit it because I had to go get surgery on the rotator cuff. So I was out for five months. In the interim, CM Punk wins the title. Takes it into WrestleMania, and he’s wrestling in the main event. Mind you, my other rival, this fella named Roman Reigns. So you’ve got two of my worst enemies fighting each other for my title in my main event and I have to watch that.”

“So now Roman Reigns is walking around with my title. Talking about how he made the title relevant, which is bullsh*t. I’ll just say it. It’s complete bullsh*t. He knows it. I know it. Everybody else knows it. He sounds like an idiot when he says it.”

“Here’s the deal with the Seth Rollins situation. I asked about Seth and Roman Reigns SummerSlam match, and they told me this.

The decision behind how the Rollins vs. Gunther match was booked reportedly sparked internal debate over the best direction for both performers. According to WrestleVotes Radio, some within the creative team pushed for Rollins to continue his Vision storyline instead of pivoting to a match with Gunther. Others were focused on ensuring Gunther had a spot on the WrestleMania card after his previously planned bout with Rey fell through.

Dave Meltzer of F4WOnline.com noted the following about plans for Rollins…

“The plan was for Rollins to face either Bronson Reed or Logan Paul, after Breakker was injured. At Elimination Chamber, with Rollins costing Paul the match, that appeared to be the direction. But we were told the Gunther was either right before or right after Chamber, a decision made when Reed went down with the torn biceps.”

Meltzer also stated that Breakker has been cleared for a couple of weeks but WWE decided to not “rush” him back into a storyline with Rollins for WrestleMania. Meltzer speculated that Breakker could end up costing Rollins the WrestleMania match with Gunther.

Dave Meltzer of F4WOnline.com noted the following regarding the situation…

“During last night’s show, we said we’d check on whether Gunther vs. Seth came about because Breakker wasn’t cleared in time. Actually, no—that was the updated plan regardless.”

A fan asked Meltzer, “So since Bron was injured, Gunther/Seth was always the plan B?” Meltzer responded, “No, there were multiple other ideas since that specific injury.”

The post News regarding WWE’s decision to book Seth Rollins vs. Gunther at WrestleMania 42 appeared first on NoDQ.com: WWE and AEW Coverage.

“I’m extremely proud that in all likelihood the world heavyweight championship is going to be featured as the main event Night Two of WrestleMania, which in my opinion is the true main event of WrestleMania. Roman talked down about it as if it were a second-tier title when it was introduced, and so did a lot of other people. I felt it was extremely important that our world championship wasn’t monopolized by a guy who wasn’t going to be there enough to help elevate the talent with that title – and that’s Roman. He took the part-time schedule and he’s earned that right. On the other hand, we needed a world championship that was going to be represented every week on the Raw brand, one that would allow new stars to be created. So I’m very proud that that belt will be in the main event of WrestleMania.”

“It is bittersweet that I’m not the one taking it into the main event of WrestleMania. It’s actually my most-hated rival, CM Punk, against Roman Reigns. The irony is not lost on me.”

According to a report from BodySlam.net, Seth Rollins is expected to perform at WrestleMania and may have already received medical clearance. WWE is also said to be optimistic that Bron Breakker will be cleared in time for the event. However, if Breakker is unable to wrestle, the current expectation is that Rollins would instead face Logan.

During an appearance on ESPN’s First Take just prior to the Chamber event, Rollins said the following about the recovery from his rotator cuff injury…

“I won’t be able to do anything this weekend, but we’re getting close. I mean, look—I can move it around. It’s not in a sling anymore. It’s feeling good. I had surgery in October, so when you look at the timeline, we’re getting close.”

“There’s a ton of guys that I’d like to get in the ring with, but the bottom line is whoever is holding on to my World Heavyweight Championship. Because what you’ve got to understand is I never lost that title. I was forced to give that title up due to injury. So I want my title back right now.
