As for now, there are no updates on whether these stars will sign new contracts. The above-mentioned stars are some of the biggest names of the company. Back in 2019, WWE re-signed many of their superstars when AEW was launched, to prevent stars from joining the Jacksonville-based promotion.

As per Fightful Select, there might be internal negotiations going on in the company to retain Seth Rollins due to his popularity as a champion. However, no official statement has been made yet.

The future of Seth Rollins in WWE has been a topic of discussion since this news came out. While The Visionary still holds the World Heavyweight Championship title, who will be the next champion is still the big question.

Who will dethrone Seth Rollins?

As Seth Rollins has stated before, he is always available whenever someone wants to challenge him for his title. But the question will always remain, who will dethrone him after almost 200 days? Many stars such as Shinsuke Nakamura, Drew McIntyre, and Sami Zayn have tried their luck, but to no avail. However, since CM Punk has returned to WWE, he could be a befitting contender for him.

However, Seth Rollins might consider leaving the promotion now due to a couple of reasons. One major reason why he might decide to take a break is his back injury. Fans are very well aware of the condition his back is in. He has also stated multiple times that it has caused hindrance in his training and matches. The second reason could be his big Hollywood break. Rollins is set to star in an undisclosed yet possibly a major role in the upcoming Marvel Studios project, Captain America: Brave New World. The movie is set to release in 2025 and could pave the way for him in Hollywood. Do you think Rollins might take a break after his contract expires next year?
