WWE Superstar Seth Rollins is currently dealing with an injury in his left shoulder. As a result, the reigning World Heavyweight Champion will be out for some time. However, upon his return, Triple H should avoid making a grave mistake to preserve The Visionary’s hard-earned momentum.
Seth Rollins defeated Cody Rhodes to become the new Men’s Crown Jewel Champion in Perth, Australia. Notably, Paul Heyman had asked Bronson Reed and Bron Breakker to deny The Architect any support during the match, but Rollins won on his own.
While he had fulfilled Heyman’s criteria, he also pissed off Breakker on the episode of RAW following Crown Jewel. The Visionary patronized his own men by counting their achievements as a result of their being under his wing and then saying that he didn’t need them for his success.
As a result, The Dog of WWE speared him, and The Auszilla landed on him with a Tsunami to write Rollins off active programming. Now, as is often seen with betrayed stars making a comeback, they are turned into pure babyfaces. However, this isn’t what Triple H should do with The Architect.
The new Men’s Crown Jewel Champion works best as an anti-hero even when he isn’t a full-fledged heel. Since Roman Reigns is currently unavailable as a main event star and is being used to kick off PLEs instead, maintaining The Visionary’s sharpness should be a priority.

Thus, while Seth Rollins should get the goodwill of the fans after his return, the enemies he made since WrestleMania 41 should still be against him. This will give him genuine heat for his WHC defense matches against stars like LA Knight, CM Punk, Jey Uso, and more.
Seth Rollins May Not Be Back for a Long Time
During the latter half of his match at Crown Jewel, Seth Rollins delivered a Coast-to-Coast flying headbutt to Cody Rhodes. While the World Heavyweight Champion managed to connect the move, he also had a bad fall on his left shoulder.
According to a Wrestling Observer Newsletter report, The Visionary needs to undergo surgery immediately. The report also stated that The Architect may have to stay on the shelf indefinitely, potentially for several months
This puts a big question mark on the future of the World Heavyweight Championship. As per the original plans, CM Punk is the current number one contender for the title and was supposed to challenge Seth Rollins on the November 1, 2025, episode of Saturday Night’s Main Event.

The exact damage and length of time he'll be out is currently unknown, but it will be at least several months

But now that Punk’s sworn enemy is injured, he may have to relinquish the title. WWE was already forced to make Naomi give up the Women’s World Championship as she had to take a maternity hiatus.
Which DC Character Does John Cena Think Seth Rollins Is?
WWE legend John Cena recently attended an event where he was asked to associate Seth Rollins, Adam Copeland, CM Punk, and AJ Styles with DC characters. The Franchise Player wasn’t given any options, so he could choose any character for each wrestler from the expansive multiverse of DC.
After some thought, the record-setting 17-time WWE World Champion assigned The Joker to Seth Rollins. The supervillain perfectly fits the World Heavyweight Champion, as both Joker and Rollins love playing mind games and striking when the iron is hot.
Thus, even the WWE GOAT has the image of a negative character when he thinks of Rollins. Cena linked Copeland with Two-Face, Punk with Batman, and Styles with Superman.

What are your thoughts on Seth Rollins getting injured at yet another key moment in his career? Do you also feel that The Visionary is better off as a partial babyface instead of a full-fledged one?
