This week, the WWE superstar Seth Rollins was to present on Monday Night Raw. Instead, the officials played his video packages to promote his championship match against AJ Styles at WWE PLE Night of Champions. And now, it is reported that Rollins will not be there for next week’s Raw as well.
According to the latest edition of Dave Meltzer’s ‘Wrestling Observer Newsletter‘, the ‘Visionary’ won’t be available for the May 22nd, 2023 episode of Monday Night Raw as he is busy with the shooting of his upcoming Hollywood movie.
It is also predicted that he could miss several episodes of Raw post the PLE Night of Champions. And it has made fans wonder if Seth Rollins would not be the new WWE World Heavyweight champion.
Fans even came online and started to share their views about the entire situation via tweets. Following are some of the top tweets by the fans
Then what’s the point in giving him the world heavyweight tittle?

If you want to be a champion in WWE you have to be a part timer

But Roman Reigns wasn’t fit to be a full-time champion — this is the inaugural World Heavyweight Champion and he’s gonna be off of TV just as much as Roman.

Dude sacrificed the tittle for a 10 second Hollywood film , low-key we all know if he doesn’t win it’s because of him walking out on raw
— Oliver Ortega (@superxoliver) May 19, 2023
so he is suppose to win the "work-horse" Championship while he is away from TV? ironic

The main reason why fans are predicting this outcome is that the only agenda behind bringing the new title is to give the WWE Universe a new full-time WWE champion.
And right now, Seth Rollins doesn’t seem to fulfill the criteria.
Rollins, Hollywood, and the championship
The former WWE world champion Seth Rollins was undoubtedly the first pick of the fans for being the World Heavyweight champion. Not only the fans, but he was possibly the top choice of the decision-makers as well. And the major reason behind this was Rollins’ consistency inside the squared circle.

However, recently he got a big opportunity to star in Marvel’s movie ‘Captain America: New World Order’ and he decided to spend some time carving his niche in the Hollywood industry as well. And since Triple H declared the new championship a work-horse title, Rollins’ chances to win the gold may be thin.
