Seth Rollins Remains In WrestleMania Mix, Update On WWE Plans

Seth Rollins is racing to be fit for WrestleMania.

In October, Seth Rollins revealed that he expects to be out of action for around six months after undergoing shoulder surgery. Rollins suffered the injury in his match with Cody Rhodes at Crown Jewel in Australia.

With WrestleMania 42 taking place on April 18 and 19, 2026, this means that there is still a chance that Rollins could compete at the event.

In the most recent update on his status, Seth Rollins revealed that he’s now had his shoulder brace removed and is walking around like a “normal person.”

Seth Rollins Still Considered For WrestleMania

Writing in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer confirmed that there remains a very real possibility that Rollins will be ready for WrestleMania. Should Rollins make the show, a match with Bron Breakker would be the likely destination.

“Rollins vs. Breakker, Reigns vs. Punk and Rhodes against someone else could be done. Or Rollins vs. Breakker. Rollins has talked about wanting to wrestle at Mania. We’ve been told this week that it is a possibility but it’s too early to determine if it can happen.”

Meanwhile, it’s been reported elsewhere that Bron Breakker is a favourite among WWE creative to win the 2026 Royal Rumble. This victory would land him a World Title shot at WrestleMania.

Breakker is also set to challenge CM Punk for the World Heavyweight Championship on the January 5 episode of Raw. It’s been rumoured that WWE will be looking to stack the episode as it celebrates its one-year anniversary on Netflix.
