WWE Higher Up On Seth Rollins' Spot, Movies
Added 2023-05-25 21:37:34 +0000 UTCSeth Rollins will be appearing in Captain America: New World Order, and it caused a stir online.
Rollins is scheduled to compete for the World Heavyweight Championship at Saturday's WWE Night of Champions show, and while we don't know who was scheduled to win, we can confirm he was actually considered to go into WrestleMania 39 as a champion before the decision was made to not split the titles.
There were rumors emerging online that Rollins' presence in the movie would cause some hesitation on WWE's part of putting him in a prominent championship spot or role, something that WWE higher ups vehemently denied to Fightful. One said "I'm not saying who is going to win this weekend, but the idea that this is anything but a positive is an unrealistic way of thinking. I can't speak to how those in charge a year ago would have felt, but now it's seen as a positive, especially with Endeavor aboard. It also wasn't a surprise. Colby (Lopez, Seth Rollins) is an exceptional talent and we expect these opportunities to come his way. We were made aware that the situation was happening, and he's already done filming. We had planned out the sit-down interviews to make up for his absence and it's full speed ahead."
In the past, WWE had been very hit or miss in promoting the outside projects of their stars, or even supporting them. We're told to expect more support in these situations moving forward.

2023-05-25 21:53:21 +0000 UTCSeth being in a Marvel movie is even more of a reason to put a belt on him.

2023-05-25 21:51:14 +0000 UTCWhat’s crazy is people think he did this on a whim and WWE had no idea as if he doesn’t have an agent or a good communication path to the higher up to get clearance for this. I swear people don’t think. They were acting like WWE had no idea he was doing this. 😂😂

2023-05-25 21:50:38 +0000 UTCI don’t know why people are using that WRKD account and taking their news like they’re super credible. They were already exposed for stealing other people’s news and putting it out as their own. And then this Seth stuff was something they put out to make it look like they had their own scoop.
