Seth Rollins to miss more time from WWE due to MCU role

As one of WWE's most indispensable performers and someone who doesn't need a championship to get over with fans, Rollins' presence in every match is important. This will become even more evident if he will win his match against AJ Styles on May 27 at Night of Champions. If Rollins wins the WWE Heavyweight Championship, as per earlier expectations, he'll have to be willing to defend his title on Monday Night RAW and other PPV events all the time.

This is the promise Triple H made when he unveiled the RAW-exclusive title belt last month, as he took jabs at The Tribal Chief, Roman Reigns, and his "part-time" role in the WWE.

It's difficult to think of Rollins being able to perform at a high level in the WWE every week if he's filming Captain America 4 as well.

Missing two weeks heading into his big title match in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, on Saturday, May 27, isn't a good sign. Things can only get worse from here, depending on Rollins' role in Captain America 4. If the MCU likes Rollins and vice versa, he could spend even more time on the set, and that's not including expected reshoots ahead of the film's premiere on May 3, 2024.

The WWE can't afford to introduce a new championship belt and give it to someone who can't physically appear to defend it every week again. You could argue that it was a mistake to do it the first time with Roman Reigns already even though it's turning out quite well.

This is a real problem for the WWE if true, but it's a good challenge to have, all things considered.

We'll find out more about what the WWE and Rollins are planning next soon enough as Night of Champions kicks off on Saturday, May 27, with Seth Rollins facing off against AJ Styles for the WWE Heavyweight Championship belt.
