Ex-Universal Champion to miss WWE Crown Jewel Premium Live Event due to real-life issues? Exploring potential reason
Unfortunately, a former WWE Universal Champion might miss the upcoming PLE, Crown Jewel, in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on November 2, 2024. The superstar even had a match against his bitter rival at the show, but he might not be able to make it.
We are talking about Seth Rollins. The former WWE World Heavyweight Champion had a violent encounter with Bronson Reed on RAW tonight backstage, which led to him getting severely injured. Later, commentator Joe Tessitore said that Rollins was taken to the hospital.
He said that Rollins was undergoing tests and evaluation at the hospital, and they would share further updates as they received them.
Watch the update on Seth Rollins here:
However, the collision was unfortunate as neither of them was present in the ring together. As Rollins called for Reed from the ring, the monster appeared on the screen and told him he was in the parking lot. Seth just marched towards the WWE backstage to confront Reed. Even though Adam Pearce tried to prevent him from taking a shot at the monster, saying that they already had a match at Crown Jewel, Rollins attacked Reed.
As the two got into a brawl, Bron Reed got the better of Rollins when he hit him with a metal trunk as Rollins stood inside a truck. Later, Reed attempted a Death Valley Driver against Seth on tables outside the truck.
It rendered Rollins unconscious as Reed got up. Pearce stormed towards Rollins along with other officials and called for an ambulance.
Seth Rollins' biggest WWE rival is CM Punk
While Rollins might have been currently locked in a rivalry with Bronson Reed, his bigger fight is with CM Punk. The Straight Edge Superstar has some serious issues with Rollins, and both have some real-life issues.
Seth Rollins had cost Punk his chance against Drew McIntyre at SummerSlam as a guest referee for the match. This led to Punk snapping at Rollins, and they later had an altercation on RAW. It was there only that Bronson Reed suddenly attacked Rollins and sent him home for a few weeks.
While CM Punk is on a sabbatical from WWE after defeating Drew McIntyre at Bad Blood PLE, Rollins is exacting his revenge against Bronson Reed.
However, his match against Reed at Crown Jewel looks in jeopardy. All eyes are on WWE's next medical update on Rollins' health and whether Triple H and his team can book the former world champion at the mega event.
