Roman Reigns made a notable return to WWE on July 14, aiming to rekindle his rivalry with Seth Rollins, marking the start of a revenge-driven storyline. This renewed conflict follows the fallout from WrestleMania 41 and centers on Rollins’ betrayal involving Paul Heyman, Reigns’ former advisor.
The storyline faced an unexpected pause after Rollins, also known as Mr. Money in the Bank, sustained a knee injury during his singles match against LA Knight at WWE’s Saturday Night Main Event. This setback has delayed their anticipated face-off inside the ring.
Reigns Reacts to Seth Rollins’ Injury and Future Confrontation Plans
During a recent Raw Vlog, Roman Reigns openly addressed Seth Rollins’ injury and his intentions moving forward. Reigns discussed Paul Heyman’s recent alignment with Rollins, stressing his desire to confront Rollins in person rather than from afar. Despite the frustration surrounding the injury, Reigns remains focused on directly resolving their conflict through competition.
“The man that Paul Heyman, my former wise man, chose to ride with… doesn’t look good, man. I don’t really want to speak on that because I believe in that karma, so I want to see how that plays out,” Reigns commented. —Roman Reigns
“Obviously, we have not been on good terms for a long time. I don’t wish injury on anybody, cause I’d rather him just be here so I can whoop his a** myself. I prefer a healthy little b**ch so I can smack him up,” he stated bluntly. —Roman Reigns
Since his comeback, Reigns has clearly indicated his focus on re-establishing control within WWE, especially through settling scores with his adversaries. Rollins’ injury leaves uncertainty around their rivalry’s near-term progress, but Reigns’ determination to face him remains resolute.
Potential New Opponents Emerge as Seth Rollins Recovers
