The aftermath of WWE WrestleMania 40 Night Two saw the wrestling world abuzz with news of Seth Rollins’ loss to Drew McIntyre for the World Heavyweight Championship. Despite a valiant effort in the ring, Rollins fell short, relinquishing his title to McIntyre in what proved to be a memorable clash of titans. Rollins, who had recently returned from injury, faced McIntyre with unwavering determination but ultimately succumbed to his formidable opponent.
Rollins’ journey to WrestleMania had been marked by adversity, as he battled back from a torn MCL and partially torn meniscus to reclaim his place in the ring. His resilience and commitment to WWE programming were evident as he continued to appear on the road to WrestleMania, despite the lingering effects of his injury. However, the toll of competition took its toll, culminating in his loss to McIntyre on the grand stage of WrestleMania.
In the wake of his defeat, reports emerged that Rollins would be taking some time off from WWE. According to Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer, Rollins’ hiatus is expected to last approximately four weeks, providing him with an opportunity to recuperate and recharge. This decision was further corroborated by Fightful Select, confirming Rollins’ planned absence from WWE programming in the coming weeks.
Rollins’ absence from WWE RAW on April 8 served as a clear indication of his impending hiatus, leaving fans to speculate about the reasons behind his departure. While Rollins’ presence will undoubtedly be missed in the ring, his decision to take time off presents an opportunity for other talents to step up and shine in his absence.
At WrestleMania, Rollins played a prominent role, headlining Night One alongside Cody Rhodes in a hard-fought battle against Roman Reigns and The Rock. Despite their best efforts, Rollins and Rhodes fell short, setting the stage for Rollins’ subsequent loss to McIntyre on Night Two.
