WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins has taken aim at the “vacation” time taken by Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns.
The Tribal Chief certainly enjoys a much more relaxed schedule compared to other WWE Superstars. In 2022, Reigns signed a lucrative contract that allows him to wrestle far less. Last year, Reigns competed in just eleven matches, a considerable drop from the previous year. For comparison, Rollins competed in 99 matches for WWE in 2023.
Seth Rollins Takes a Shot at Roman Reigns
Seth Rollins has been vocally opposed to Reigns’ strangle-hold on the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion, which played a part in Rollins becoming World Heavyweight Champion last May. Rollins is very much of the belief that a World Championship should be a regular on TV and represent the company.
Roman Reigns isn’t the only person that the Architect has set his sights on though. Rollins has had an issue with CM Punk ever since the latter’s return to WWE, and the issues between them go back far further than that. Recently, Rollins poked fun at CM Punk’s torn triceps injury, saying the ‘Best in the World’ will be back in a year or two. When a fan found the comment a tad rich given Rollins’ current injury, the World Heavyweight Champion argued that he’s had less time off in 12 years than Roman Reigns has had in two.
Dawg I’ve taken less time off for injuries in the last 12 years than the other champ has taken for vacation in the last 2 years…

What’s Next?
Roman Reigns will defend the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship against Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 40. That is despite Reigns making clear he intends to face The Rock at the two-night megashow.
As for Seth Rollins, he has vowed that his injury won’t keep him from competing at WrestleMania. Rollins’ opponent for Philly will be decided in this month’s Men’s Elimination Chamber match.
