Seth Rollins’ WrestleMania 42 return is in doubt after he revealed during a Mohr Stories interview that his shoulder injury requires another three or four months to heal, putting his participation in the major WWE event at risk. The possibility of Rollins competing at WrestleMania 42, which will take place in Las Vegas, Nevada, now appears uncertain.
WWE Plans Shift Amid Injury Recovery
According to Dave Meltzer in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, WWE sources have confirmed that Rollins’ appearance at WrestleMania 42 remains a possibility, although it is far from assured. Meltzer also reported that there was an early vision for Rollins to face Roman Reigns as a headline bout during one of the nights at Allegiant Stadium, but that matchup would not have been contested for a championship. But as Rollins spends more time recovering, WWE seems to be shifting its focus toward a marquee contest between Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns for the event.
Seth Rollins’ Comments on His Status
This change in plans follows statements made by Rollins to Bert Kreischer on Something’s Burning in November, where he said his status for the high-profile event was still “TBD.”
What’s Next for WrestleMania 42?
WrestleMania 42 is set for Saturday, April 18, and Sunday, April 19, 2026, at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. As developments unfold, the future of Seth Rollins’ involvement remains one of the most watched storylines in the lead-up to the event, while the focus appears to be turning toward a Cody Rhodes versus Roman Reigns showdown in his possible absence.
