Seth Rollins Won’t Be Pulling Double Duty At WWE Crown Jewel

It turns out that WWE Universal Champion Seth Rollins won’t have to wrestle twice in one afternoon after all. 

Rollins had been previously announced as the captain of Team Hogan against Team Flair at the Crown Jewel PPV event. Fast forward to Monday night during Raw, it was announced that he would have a rematch against Bray Wyatt for the Universal Championship with a Falls Count Anywhere stipulation at this same show. 

Dave Meltzer reported on F4Wonline.com that Rollins at this point is only scheduled to work one match on the event, which is his title defense.

As of this writing, Rollins is no longer scheduled for the five vs. five match and that his removal will likely be addressed on television over the next week. There’s also no word yet on who will replace him as team captain. 

Bray Wyatt vs. Seth Rollins Rematch Set For WWE Crown Jewel

So far, Rusev and Ricochet have been announced alongside Rollins for Team Hogan while Randy Orton, Baron Corbin, Bobby Lashley, and Shinsuke Nakamura have been confirmed as part of Team Flair. 

WWE will be announcing more stars for the match in the coming weeks. This wouldn’t have been the first time this year that Rollins had to work two matches in one night as he did at the Clash of Champions pay-per-view event. 

He worked a tag team title match alongside Braun Strowman and then the two faced off in the headliner of the show.

Seth Rollins Comments On Hell In A Cell Finish

The ending to this month’s Hell in a Cell pay-per-view did not sit well with the live audience in Sacramento nor the viewing audience on the WWE Network. Although WWE meant to convey the match ended due to referee stoppage, many fans took what happened at the end of the match to mean Rollins had been disqualified in a match where disqualifications were thought not to be possible.

Rollins commented on the end of the match recently on Twitter. He also noted that had the famous Hell in a Cell match between The Undertaker and Mick Foley been stopped early, it may have added years onto Foley’s shortened career.

Rollins then responded to a fan who posted a clip of Undertaker chokeslamming Foley through the top of the cell.

Seth Rollins Double Duty At Crown Jewel

WWE announced recently that Rollins will work double duty at Crown Jewel on October 31st. The Universal champion is scheduled to be part of team Hogan as it takes on team Flair at the event. Rollins has also been scheduled to once again defend his Universal title against Bray Wyatt, this time in a falls count anywhere match.

Seth Rollins Burns Down Bray Wyatt’s Firefly Fun House

In the closing moments of WWE Raw this week, Seth Rollins invaded Bray Wyatt’s Firefly Funhouse and set it on fire.

The WWE Universal Champion didn’t appear on Raw last week, but he did state that he’ll find Wyatt wherever he may be.

At the Fun House, Rambling Rabbit warned Wyatt that Seth is on his way. Wyatt replied that there is nothing to worry about and tells it that “he” keeps us safe here.

Seth then ran in out of nowhere and cheap shotted Bray from behind and then started destroying the Fun House. Wyatt asked Seth why he’s destroying the House and begged him to stop. Seth punched out Bray and continued destroying the Fun House.

While the various Fun House friends looked on in terror and as flashes of Wyatt’s alter-ego appeared onscreen, Rollins continued the damage.

He pulled out a match and set a table on fire, then flipped it over so the fires reach the back wall of the Fun House which set the pictures of The Fiend’s victims ablaze too.

WWE announced a rematch between the two for the WWE Universal Championship at Crown Jewel. The match will be a Falls Count Anywhere match.

Wyatt vs. Rollins ended in a match stoppage at the Hell in a Cell pay-per-view event earlier this month.

WWE presents the Crown Jewel pay-per-view event on Thursday, October 31, 2019, in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia at the King Fahd International Stadium that will air on the WWE Network.

Wyatt vs. Rollins ended in a match stoppage at the Hell in a Cell pay-per-view event earlier this month.

WWE Had Considered An Alternate Ending For Hell In A Cell Main Event

The main event of WWE’s recent Hell in a Cell ended in controversy after the official stopped the match. He did so out of concern for ‘The Fiend’ Bray Wyatt after Seth Rollins’ relentless assault. The response was overtly negative, with fans in the crowd chanting “AEW” and “Refunds.” Now Dave Meltzer of F4WOnline.com is reporting that there was another ending WWE considered.

“The original idea for the finish was that Wyatt would take a gimmicked bump off the top of the cage and be unable to continue and the match would be stopped,” Meltzer said.” Then, after it was stopped, he would pop up like Undertaker and take Rollins out with the mandible claw.”

The match was ended via referee stoppage after Seth Rollins piled ‘The Fiend’ under a ladder, chairs and even a toolbox. However, it was the introduction of a sledgehammer into the action that the official thought went too far.

Seth Rollins recently broke his silence since Sunday, writing on Twitter:

“Survive and Prevail is bigger than just what happens between the ropes. Question everything, even yourself, and fight your heart out every step of the way. #sethrollinsisnotcool”

He will compete against Roman Reigns this Friday night on SmackDown. The winner of their match will win the first draft pick for their brand.

Seth Rollins vs. Roman Reigns With Big Draft Stakes Set For WWE SmackDown

The first match has been announced for WWE Friday Night SmackDown and it’s a big one as it will involve top talent. 

Universal Champion Seth Rollins (representing RAW) faces Roman Reigns (representing SmackDown) in the opening match. The winner will earn the first overall pick for the corresponding brand.

This has been the only confirmed match for this show, which is expected to be loaded as it kicks off the latest Draft of the company. 

It also marks Rollins’ first match since the controversial finish in his latest match. This contest took place the Hell in a Cell pay-per-view event.

This is where Rollins retained his Universal Title over Bray Wyatt. The contest ended in a match stoppage once Rollins hit Wyatt in the head with a sledgehammer.

Details On WWE Draft Rules, Several Celebrities Confirmed

The draft will start on the SmackDown episode in Las Vegas on Friday, October 11. It will continue for RAW as the second night of the draft will then take place on Monday, October 14 in Denver.

The reason behind doing the draft is a way to freshen up both shows both with talent and in other ways during October.

This is a way to capitalize on the exposure as it’s the second episode of SmackDown on FOX.

Tommaso Ciampa Says Seth Rollins vs. Bray Wyatt Match Stoppage Finish Wouldn’t Fly In NXT

Former WWE NXT Champion Tommaso Ciampa has sounded off on the hot topic of the week. 

That topic is how the highly anticipated Hell in a Cell match between Bray Wyatt and Universal Champion Seth Rollins ended at this past Sunday’s Hell in a Cell pay-per-view event in Sacramento, California at the Golden 1 Center. 

This contest ended by referee stoppage, which was in controversial fashion. The finish came when Rollins hit Wyatt in the head with a sledgehammer.

Ciampa made an appearance on The Bump on Wednesday where he talked about the finish. 

“From a performer standpoint, if Tommaso Ciampa vs. Johnny Gargano at TakeOver: New Orleans ended by a ref stoppage, it’s something that just doesn’t fly in NXT. That’s what makes NXT the A Show.”

Bully Ray Breaks Down Seth Rollins Vs Bray Wyatt From Hell In A Cell

Ciampa just made his return to WWE television last week where he confronted NXT Champion Adam Cole. 

This comes after he had been out of action after undergoing neck surgery earlier this year. The belief is that he’ll feud with Cole going forward.

For Wyatt and Rollins, this program is expected to continue heading into the coming month with the Survivor Series pay-per-view event. 

Roman Reigns Talks Seth Rollins Rubbing Fans The Wrong Way With His Comments

Roman Reigns recently spoke about WWE Universal Champion Seth Rollins while doing an interview with Justin Barrasso of Sports Illustrated

This comes just days removed from the backlash over how Rollins’ match with Bray Wyatt ended at WWE Hell in a Cell.

“There is a lot to being the face of WWE,” said Reigns. “It’s not only about being in the ring. It’s about how you represent, and that is a 24-7, 365 job. You’ve got to be on all the time for 52 weeks a year. But I’m telling you now, my brother is legit.”

Bully Ray Breaks Down Seth Rollins Vs Bray Wyatt From Hell In A Cell

Reigns brought up how proud of Rollins he was after beating Brock Lesnar for the strap at SummerSlam. He brought up Rollins having a rough week where the Twitter machine and the Internet went nuts on him but praised him for being able to bounce back and answer the call. 

Reigns noted that Rollins was “born for professional wrestling” but admits that Rollins can be blunt sometimes, which makes it rub people the wrong way. 

The reason for that is due to Rollins loving WWE and people can misread some of the things he says or the ways he delivers it.

“He’s a workhorse. Yeah, he’s a little live at the mouth sometimes, but he’s got a heart of gold, trust me. Whether he’s on Raw or SmackDown, the WWE is in good hands with him as champion.”

Most notably, Rollins got into a public exchange with Will Ospreay this year that upset fans over Rollins bragging about having more money in his bank account. 

WWE Ref Explains Why He Stopped HIAC Main Event

Rod Zapata is the WWE official who made the controversial call to stop the Hell in a Cell match between Bray Wyatt and Seth Rollins on Sunday night. Zapata waved off the match after Rollins hit Wyatt with a sledgehammer.

Zapata issued a statement to WWE’s “The Bump” today and explained why he waved off the match.

“With Bray motionless, and Seth clearly doing whatever it was going to take to win that match… I had to think of the competitor’s safety and that at that moment, I did what I thought was best.” – Rod Zapata (WWE Official, Hell in a Cell main event referee.)

The decision was discussed by the panel members on the Bump, which you can watch in the player below:

Post Hell in a Cell Fallout

Much has been made about the controversial finish to the Hell in a Cell main event from Sunday. Neither Rollins nor Wyatt appeared on WWE Raw this week, although the Fiend did appear to the live crowd after the show ended. A video recap of their match was shown on Raw as well.

Bully Ray broke down what he took from the Hell in a Cell main event recently on Busted Open Radio.

“In doing what they did last night, Bray Wyatt might be the biggest babyface next to Becky Lynch in the WWE right now,” said Bully Ray. “Just because the fans are so annoyed with how the finish went down. Did you notice that after Seth Rollins got done using the kendo stick on Bray Wyatt, Bray eventually took the kendo stick and […] threw it away. Bray didn’t even want to rely on the weapons. The babyface brings in the weapons, they’re not effective, and the ‘heel’ throws the weapons away. There were so many points in that match that they backed Seth Rollins into a corner where it was almost impossible for him to look good.”

Seth Rollins Breaks Silence Following Hell In A Cell Main Event

WWE Universal Champion Seth Rollins has broken his silence following the backlash to his main event matchup at Hell in a Cell. Rollins took to Twitter, writing:

“Survive and Prevail is bigger than just what happens between the ropes. Question everything, even yourself, and fight your heart out every step of the way. #sethrollinsisnotcool”

Rollins successfully defended his Universal Championship against ‘The Fiend’ Bray Wyatt at this past Sunday’s WWE pay-per-view. The finish of their match received an immediate negative reaction from fans, including those watching live inside the Golden 1 Center in Sacramento, California. Fans vocally expressed their frustration with chants of “AEW,” referencing TNT’s All Elite Wrestling, and “Refunds.”

The referee would officially call off the match, leading to confusion from fans who initially thought Rollins had been disqualified. Hell in a Cell famously has a no disqualifications rule in effect. The finish came after Rollins use of a sledgehammer. This came after extensive use of weapons including a ladder, chairs, a toolbox and even an oversized mallet.

After the match, while making his way to the backstage area, Rollins stopped as a fan berated him. His use of the hashtag “sethrollinsisnotcool” is in reference to the sign the fan was holding at the time.

WWE Deletes Bray Wyatt vs. Seth Rollins Rematch Announcement

It appears that fans will have to wait a bit to see “The Fiend” Bray Wyatt get his rematch with WWE Universal Champion Seth Rollins. 

WWE sent out a tweet that has since been deleted that announced the contest for the upcoming WWE Survivor Series pay-per-view. Fans picked up on it and took a screenshot of it. The announcement was made earlier today. 

Seth Rollins Keeps WWE Universal Title Over Bray Wyatt By Stoppage

With RAW taking place in a few hours, it’s possible that WWE is saving the announcement for Monday’s episode of RAW, which will feature the fallout from their first encounter. 

Wyatt vs. Rollins ended in a match stoppage once Rollins hit Wyatt in the head with a sledgehammer at Sunday’s Hell in a Cell pay-per-view event in Sacramento, California at the Golden 1 Center on the WWE Network.

The finish of this match caused major backlash from fans. 

This year’s WWE Survivor Series pay-per-view takes place on November 24 from the Allstate Arena near Chicago and will air on the WWE Network. 

Most fans figured that this rematch would take place at the Crown Jewel show but WWE could wait for what is historically a big show.

Seth Rollins Keeps WWE Universal Title Over Bray Wyatt By Stoppage

There is not a new WWE Universal Champion as Bray Wyatt didn’t walk out of the show with the title. 

It was an interesting finish to the contest between Wyatt and champion Seth Rollins that left many fans not happy. 

Wyatt vs. Rollins ended in a referee stoppage inside of the Hell in a Cell at Sunday’s pay-per-view event in Sacramento, California at the Golden 1 Center on the WWE Network.

Throughout the match, which saw red lighting cover the ring, Rollins got more frustrated to the point where he legitimately hit over 10 Curb Stomps to Wyatt.

The finish of the match saw Rollins hit Wyatt in the head with a ladder, chair, and even on top of that with a toolbox. In the end, after the referee tried to talk him out of it, Rollins hit Wyatt in the head with a sledgehammer. 

This is when the referee called for the bell in an apparent DQ. After the match, the referees checked on Wyatt, who popped up and took out Rollins when he hit Sister Abigail on the floor.

The fans chanted to restart the match but WWE didn’t and the show went off the air with Wyatt standing tall.

Brock Lesnar Destroys Rey Mysterio & His Son, Universal Title Match Delayed

Seth Rollins is still the WWE Universal Champion but things didn’t go as originally planned for him thanks to Brock Lesnar.

WWE held the RAW Season Premiere episode on Monday night from Phoenix, Arizona at the Talking Stick Resort Arena. This is where Rollins was supposed to defend his title against Rey Mysterio in a high priority match on the flagship show of the company. 

In the opening segment, Mysterio was cutting a promo when Lesnar appeared and hit a series of F5’s. He would then attack Mysterio’s son, Dominick. 

WWE RAW Results & Live Coverage (9/30)

The company set this matchup between Mysterio and Rollins on last week’s show when a Fatal 5-Way Match to determine who would be next in line for a championship match took place. 

Rey Mysterio, Ricochet, WWE US Champion AJ Styles, WWE Intercontinental Champion Shinsuke Nakamura, and WWE RAW Tag Team Champion Robert Roode competed in the contest. 

As seen on the show, Mysterio ended up winning it. As a result, Mysterio had earned the right to challenge Rollins for the WWE Universal Title

The WWE Hell in a Cell pay-per-view event takes place on Sunday, October 6, 2019 in Sacramento, California at the Golden 1 Center.

Seth Rollins’ Twitter Account No Longer Accessible To Public

It looks like The Universal Champion Seth Rollins’ Twitter account is no longer accessible to the public and he has either deactivated or deleted his account.

The Architect’s account was active until afternoon today but in the evening it was noted by several fans that they were no longer able to see tweets from the @WWERollins handle.

It looks more likely that the account has been deactivated since instead of showing a 404, page does not exist error, the Twitter page of his account shows the following message saying that the account doesn’t exist:

WWE Rollins

Rollins’ last interaction on his Twitter was with the Boss Sasha Banks. The Universal Champion had posted about his upcoming match with Rey Mysterio on Raw and Sasha had mocked him for the tweet.

Replying to Banks, the current Universal Champion wrote  “This is a match I’ve been looking forward to as much as every other match you’ve ever had…aka, not at all. Luckily for me, you’ll underdeliver like you always do and continue to wonder why you’re not in more main events.”

No word yet on if this exchange played any part in the deactivation of his account or if there is any other reason behind the same. Seth’s Instagram account is still live.

Seth Rollins’ is currently scheduled to defend his Universal Championship against Rey Mysterio on the season premiere episode of Raw this Monday.

New #1 Contender Set For Seth Rollins’ WWE Universal Title, Match Booked

There is a new #1 contender to the WWE Universal Title held by Seth Rollins and that’s Rey Mysterio. 

During Monday’s episode of RAW in San Francisco, California at the Chase Center, the company held a Fatal 5-Way Match to determine who would be next in line for a championship match.

Rey Mysterio, Ricochet, WWE US Champion AJ Styles, WWE Intercontinental Champion Shinsuke Nakamura, and WWE RAW Tag Team Champion Robert Roode competed in the contest. 

As seen on the show, Mysterio ended up winning it. As a result, Mysterio has earned the right to challenge Rollins for the WWE Universal Title on next week’s episode of RAW. 

WWE is hyping this as the season premiere of RAW. It takes place in and will serve as the go-home show for the Hell in a Cell pay-per-view event. 

WWE booking a match involving the top title on RAW brand comes at an interesting time as it takes place less than a week before the Hell in a Cell show.

Especially due to the fact that WWE has already announced Rollins vs. Bray Wyatt in a HIAC match at the pay-per-view.

The reported reason for booking a title match on this RAW episode is due to the hope of increasing ratings. 

“The Fiend” Bray Wyatt Wrestles Seth Rollins At WWE House Show (Video)

WWE gave fans in attendance at a house show on Friday night a preview of what is to come between WWE Universal Champion Seth Rollins and “The Fiend” Bray Wyatt. 

The two squared off in the headliner of the house show in Calgary, AB, Canada at the Stampede Corral. This match ended when Wyatt locked the mandible claw on Rollins in the corner past the referee’s five-count. That caused a DQ. 

Post-match, Rollins hit several superkicks and stomps to Wyatt. Moments later, Wyatt caught him again with the mandible claw.

The company has already confirmed that Rollins vs. Wyatt for the Universal Title inside of the Hell in a Cell structure will take place at the WWE Hell in a Cell pay-per-view event.

Wyatt made the offer back in May to not only Rollins but also Roman Reigns. He issued a reminder to the top star on the RAW roster with this post on Twitter:

https://twitter.com/WWE/status/1173750548899618817

This feud was set up when Wyatt issued a challenge to Rollins or Braun Strowman for a Hell in a Cell match at this upcoming show last month on social media.

Thus, when Rollins retained the Universal Title over Strowman in the headliner of the Clash of Champions show, Wyatt attacked Rollins after the match.

This contest came after the two stars had worked a previous match in the night. Strowman and Rollins dropped the WWE RAW Tag Team Titles to Robert Roode and Dolph Ziggler. 

The company took its time with booking this match after a few weeks of teasing between the two babyfaces.

Braun Strowman & Seth Rollins Pulling Double Duty At WWE Clash Of Champions

Braun Strowman and Seth Rollins have two matches booked for the upcoming WWE Clash of Champions PPV.

The original belief was that WWE would have these two stars battle it out for the Universal Title that Rollins has, which is technically the case. However, WWE is booking them in a tag team match as well. 

During Monday’s episode of RAW, WWE held “the biggest Tag Team Turmoil match in WWE history.”

Heavy Machinery, The Revival, Curtis Axel and Bo Dallas, Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson, Lucha House Party, Dolph Ziggler and Bobby Roode, War Raiders, Zack Ryder and Curt Hawkins competed in the match. 

Ziggler and Roode won the contest. As a result, they have earned the right to challenge Rollins and Strowman for the WWE RAW Tag Team Titles at the latest PPV event under the WWE banner. 

Later in the show, WWE confirmed that Rollins and Strowman would wrestle for the Universal Title as well.

Braun Strowman & Seth Rollins Win WWE RAW Tag Team Titles

The reign of WWE RAW Tag Team Champions for Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows didn’t last long as Seth Rollins and Braun Strowman put an end to it. 

During Monday’s episode of RAW, in St Paul, Minnesota at the Xcel Energy Center, Rollins and Strowman beat The OC to win the tag team titles. This match served as the headliner of the show. 

The finish saw Strowman hit his powerslam finisher to Anderson while Rollins connected with The Stomp to Gallows. 

WWE RAW Results & Live Coverage (8/19)

This unlikely partnership is likely heading towards a match between the two stars. 

It’s been reported that Rollins and Strowman are set to have a match with Rollins defending his Universal Title against “The Monster Among Men” at the next WWE PPV. 

WWE presents the Clash of Champions pay-per-view event on in that will air on the WWE Network. As of this writing, WWE has yet to officially announce any matches for the show. 

Anderson & Gallows beat The Usos and Scott Dawson & Dash Wilder in a Triple Threat Match to win the WWE RAW Tag Team Titles back on the July 29th episode of RAW in Little Rock, Arkansas.

Mark Henry Believes Brock Lesnar Elevated Seth Rollins To The Highest Level

WWE Hall of Famer Mark Henry had a ton of praise to give to Brock Lesnar and Seth Rollins following their main event match at Sunday’s SummerSlam pay-per-view event. 

Rollins dethroned Lesnar to become the new Universal Champion. Henry sounded off on this match and his belief that Rollins is now at the highest level possible following their match. 

Henry brought up how people say that Lesnar can bully anyone and can’t wrestle. Henry would disagree with that. 

“He performed at the highest level and elevated an opponent like anybody I’ve ever seen. You can put him up there with the greats because he helped catapult Seth into where he is today.”

Henry continued by noting that it’s not only being the champion but how fans perceive him as a guy that’s double tough.

He brought up Rollins selling broken ribs and cough up blood a few weeks ago then putting on such a performance. 

Henry added that Brock putting himself in a position for Rollins to have success is an art. You can listen to the clip here: 

Although this was a rematch from WrestleMania 35 earlier this year, SummerSlam’s headliner was much longer than their previous outing.

It will be interesting to see when WWE books a rematch between the two stars.
