Seth Rollins, a former WWE World Heavyweight Champion, might make an unexpected appearance as a Royal Rumble 2026 entrant. Though sidelined since October due to a shoulder injury, his potential comeback could add intrigue to this year’s event.
Impact of Rollins’ Absence and Return Scenario
Rollins’ injury has notably influenced the storyline leading up to WrestleMania 42, altering various match builds. While it seems more probable that if Rollins returns, he will enter the Rumble at a later stage due to ongoing recovery, an earlier appearance cannot be ruled out. Should he participate, it’s unlikely he would remain in the match until the end but could still make a significant impression.
Possible Outcomes Within the Match
There is speculation Rollins may be eliminated by Bron Breakker or possibly take Breakker out himself before exiting. Either scenario would ensure Rollins leaves a memorable mark in the Royal Rumble, regardless of how long he lasts.
