Adam Pearce Strips Seth Rollins Of The World Heavyweight Championship, Says He’ll Be On The Shelf For ‘Quite A While’
Seth Rollins is no longer World Heavyweight Champion.
Adam Pearce kicked off the October 20 episode of WWE Raw. Before he could deliver an update to fans on Seth Rollins, Pearce was interrupted by the trio of Bron Breakker, Bronson Reed, and Seth Rollins.
Pearce addressed the Vision trio directly, accusing Breakker and Reed of injuring Rollins more after his match with Cody Rhodes at WWE Crown Jewel. Pearce went on to reveal that Rollins will be on the shelf for “quite a while”, as he recently underwent major surgery. As a result of the injury, Pearce announced that the World Heavyweight Championship is now vacant.
Furthermore, Pearce revealed that a battle royal will take place on Raw to determine who will face CM Punk for the vacant championship at Saturday Night’s Main Event on November 1.
Pearce then demanded that Breakker give up the vacant championship. After some back and forth, Adam Pearce used the word please to ask for the title back. Breakker handed it to Heyman, who handed it to Pearce.
