WWE News Roundup: Former champion confirmed to miss WrestleMania 41 following surgery; Seth Rollins on his relationship with Becky Lynch
Welcome to the latest edition of Sportskeeda Wrestling's WWE News Roundup, where we bring you the biggest stories in the past 24 hours from the world of wrestling.
Today, we have updates on Randy Orton and Seth Rollins. The latter spoke about his relationship with Becky Lynch. Meanwhile, a former champion has revealed he will miss WrestleMania 41. So, let's get right into the roundup!
#1 Randy Orton fined following WWE Crown Jewel
Randy Orton went to Saudi Arabia hoping to get his hands on Kevin Owens. However, their match at Crown Jewel never began. The two brawled before the bell could ring, leading to officials and referees coming in between them.
The entire situation ticked Orton off, who hit Adam Pearce with an RKO. So, with that attack on the RAW general manager, a punishment was always likely. It seems like The Viper has been fined, based on Pearce's Instagram Story.
He told Randy Orton to "put the check in the mail," implying that the 14-time World Champion already has already been told that he's been fined. It remains to be seen whether there are any other consequences for his actions on WWE SmackDown this Friday night.
#2 Seth Rollins reveals when he knew he was going to marry Becky Lynch
WWE Superstar Seth Rollins got married to Becky Lynch in June 2021. That was over two years after The Visionary knew that it was going to happen.
Speaking on The Pivot Podcast, Rollins revealed that he knew he was going to marry Lynch shortly after they started dating. Their relationship began in January 2019 and by March, he was already looking for a ring:
"As soon as sparks started flying, I knew right away. We started dating in January, and I was picking out a ring in March, you know what I mean? Like, I was ready to rock. We were engaged that summer, and I was like, 'Oh yeah, this is it.' It made too much sense at that point. I’m like, 'This is it, done and dusted. Easy breezy.' "And then we had our baby in 2020—full COVID baby," he said.
The two are still going strong. While Seth Rollins appears on WWE television every week, Becky Lynch is currently on hiatus after her contract expired earlier this year. The Man is enjoying her time off with their daughter Roux.
#3 Karl Anderson is out until after WrestleMania 41
WWE Superstar Karl Anderson has revealed he recently suffered an injury. The former O.C. member took to Instagram to announce that he will return after WrestleMania 41, sharing a picture of himself after surgery and thanking his doctor.
While he didn't reveal what exact injury he suffered, Anderson stated that he would provide more details on his podcast with Luke Gallows on Thursday. It remains to be seen how long he will remain out of action:
"Thanks to Dr. Dugas in Birmingham, Alabama for fixing me. See you after #WrestleMania 😘 #WWE #wweraw Details on this weeks #TalkNShop dropping Thursday am," he wrote.
Sportskeeda Wrestling wishes Karl Anderson a speedy recovery and hopefully, he can return to the ring better than ever.
