Seth Rollins’ long string of injuries continues to haunt his WWE career. It seems like his ongoing absence has forced the company to replace him with someone of his stature.
The Visionary injured his shoulder during his match with Cody Rhodes at Crown Jewel on October 11 in Australia. His untimely injury left the Triple H-led creative no choice but to pivot away from the long-running Vision program, which would have culminated next year.
The following night on RAW, Bron Breakker, Bronson Reed, and Paul Heyman turned on their leader, writing him off television for the foreseeable future. As a result of the storyline attack, Rollins was also stripped of his WWE World Heavyweight Championship.
After being stuck in a limbo for weeks, The Vision finally returned to the main event scene to rekindle the rivalry with the new WWE World Heavyweight Champion, CM Punk.
During the latest episode of RAW this week, the unthinkable happened as Logan Paul came back and nearly turned babyface. As it turns out, it was a ruse to set up the Survivor Series: WarGames match.
The Maverick showed his true colors later in the night, knocking out The Best in the World with Brass Knuckles and handing over to Paul Heyman to end RAW on a cliffhanger.
According to Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Radio, Logan Paul has replaced Seth Rollins in the Survivor Series: WarGames match.
“Seth’s replacement in WarGames is going to be Logan Paul.”
The wrestling journalist also predicted the lineup for the Men’s WarGames match.
“My gut is that still the plan is Punk, Roman Reigns, the Usos on that team, with probably LA Knight as the other guy. Jacob was supposed to be. It could be Jacob if he’s okay to wrestle, but he just had his surgery, so I don’t know if he’s going to be okay by the end of the month.” (H/T – WrestlePurists)

Update on Seth Rollins’ WWE return timeline
Seth Rollins successfully underwent surgery for a torn rotator cuff and has been spotted wearing an arm sling lately.
Speaking on NFL Network’s Good Morning Football, The Visionary revealed he will remain on the sidelines for six months.
“I’m out, guys. I’m out for six months.”
This will put his WrestleMania 42 status in serious jeopardy. Will Rollins make his return in time for The Showcase of the Immortals? Only time will tell.
