WWE superstar Seth Rollins has reportedly been pulled from all live events this weekend.

The World Heavyweight Champion – who has been rumoured to be facing CM Punk at WrestleMania 40 in a dream match playing off their bitter real life rivalry – is no longer advertised for shows over the next few days, including Monday Night Raw.

He isn’t listed on WWE.com’s own pages advertising events in Montgomery, Alabama and Jackson, Mississippi, nor is he listed for the final Raw shows before the Royal Rumble next weekend.

According to PWinsider, he has been pulled from the shows amid injury concerns following Monday night’s main event match against Jinder Mahal.

Fans are nervously awaiting an update on Rollins’ condition after he was apparently hurt during the World Heavyweight Championship match earlier this week.

PWTorch reported that he was helped backstage after the show went off air, and was later seen limping.

It was said the 37-year-old star, who is married to former champion Becky Lynch, with whom he has baby daughter Roux, was due to undergone an MRI scan this week to determine the severity of the injury.

Fans will be hoping it’s nothing too serious with a potential dream match against Punk – which is perfectly blurring the lines between reality and fiction – looming at WrestleMania in April.

At the moment, nothing has been said to suggest the match is off the cards, and it could be that he’s just being taken off this weekend’s events as a precaution.

It comes weeks after fellow star Charlotte Flair was forced onto the sidelines after a painful fall during a match against Asuka in December 2023, which left her with a torn ACL, MCL and meniscus.

The Queen will miss WrestleMania as she faces nine months on the sidelines after undergoing surgery earlier this month.

WWE is having to deal with a number of injuries across its roster, with Cora Jade out with an ACL tear, along with setbacks for the likes of Braun Strowman, Viking Raiders star Erik, Liv Morgan, Hall of Famer Rey Mysterio, Sheamus, Solo Ruca, Wendy Choo and Wes Lee.
