WWE’s Becky Lynch Reacts in 5 Words to Seth Rollins News
During WWE Crown Jewel, the audience witnessed Seth Rollins win a cunning match against Cody Rhodes in their champion against champion match. The World Heavyweight Champion seemed to still be in line with The Vision, as he was kept at the top of the global storylines of WWE. This changed dramatically when WWE Raw was held in Australia, when Bron Breakker used a vicious spear to Rollins after gaining his trust. A few minutes later, the tag partner of Breakker, Bronson Reed, threw in a crushing Tsunami splash, and Rollins was doomed to lose the night.
Rollins later walked out of the ring himself, looking clearly wounded, and Paul Heyman seemed to be on the side of The Vision, suggesting that the group had lost interest in him. The speculation regarding the condition of Rollins was nearly instantaneous, with fans starting to talk about whether his performance against Rhodes had been too costly. The injury discussion went viral on fan forums and even defeated the 1.16 against 3.4 odds favoring Rollins on popular betting sites in Nevada, which offer competitive odds, fast payouts, and generous bonuses.
On Tuesday, Becky Lynch, the wife of Rollins and one of the leading figures in women’s wrestling, spoke up. She posted the official WWE video of the betrayal of The Vision on X, and it was the moment when Breakker struck the spear and Reed made his decision. When Reed scrambled up the corner turnbuckle and fell down with his Tsunami, it was evident that both men had turned their backs on Rollins. Becky added a brief yet stinging comment to the video: I am away one week. The post immediately went viral among fans who interpreted it as a combination of disbelief and dark humour.
Approximately an hour prior to the post by Becky, WrestleOps sent a report through PWInsider that Rollins could be undergoing shoulder or rotator cuff surgery, having already dealt with knee surgery in the past. The report outlined the increasing suspicion in WWE that the injury was real and potentially severe. Rollins has a track record of playing to his injury angles, such as his famous fake-out during the build to SummerSlam, when he was shown to require crutches before cashing in his Money in the Bank briefcase. This time, however, the worry seems real.
Bleacher Report later reported that Rollins appeared to favour his arm in his Crown Jewel match. The injury must have happened when he tried a high-risk flying headbutt on one side of the ring to the other. As he landed, his arm absorbed the brunt of the landing, although he was able to relate to Rhodes. After the incident, a photo was posted online of Rollins with his arm in a sling, which only added to the speculation of the extent of his injury.
Rollins was also active in the weeks prior to Crown Jewel, having appeared at WWE’s premium live event, Wrestlepalooza on ESPN Unlimited. During that match, he was paired with Becky Lynch in a mixed tag match with CM Punk and AJ Lee. The real-life couple failed in their attempt, which is another blow to what has already turned into a hectic schedule on the part of Rollins.
WWE has yet to announce when Rollins will return, though company sources have hinted that the World Heavyweight Championship could be vacated if he cannot defend it. The threat of surgery leaves WWE facing a tough decision, as he could be sidelined for months. Becky Lynch’s brief but emotional post added a human touch to what began as a scripted betrayal, showing clear concern for her husband’s well-being. Fans now await confirmation on whether his injury is real or part of the storyline, and what it means for his title reign.
