As Seth Rollins’ WWE contract approaches its expiration in June, speculation swirls around his future in the promotion. Rollins, one of WWE’s top superstars, has maintained a consistent presence on the roster. Moreover, he has elevated the World Heavyweight Championship to a revered status through his consistent title defenses.
However, Rollins finds himself without a clear opponent at WrestleMania, with both CM Punk sidelined due to injury and Cody Rhodes selecting Roman Reigns as his challenger. Furthermore, Drew McIntyre has shown interest in challenging Rollins, and Sami Zayn has also thrown his hat into the ring for a title shot. Hence, the upcoming months promise to be interesting for Rollins. Also, it’s important to note that his contract with WWE is set to expire soon.
Speaking in an interview with Fightful’s Sean Ross Sapp, Seth Rollins addressed his contract status at the WrestleMania 40 kickoff event. Rollins stated, “It’s all there in writing. We’re going to get a new deal. Something is going to get worked out. WWE is my home. I love this place. I love this industry. I’d like to spend more time with my daughter as she gets a little bit older, but at the end of the day, I want to stay here. I want to be here for the rest of my life. I love this place. I am sure that the powers that be feel the same way about me. Otherwise, we wouldn’t be sitting here with this title on my shoulder. I’m sure the compensation will be fair and just.”
With uncertainty surrounding his WrestleMania opponent and contract negotiations underway, Seth Rollins remains committed to his future in WWE.
Seth Rollins crosses paths with Roman Reigns and The Rock

Amidst this tension, Cody Rhodes dramatically intervened, expressing his dissatisfaction with the situation. He then surprised everyone by selecting Reigns as his opponent for WrestleMania 40.
With Seth Rollins, Cody Rhodes, Roman Reigns, and The Rock on the same stage, tensions escalated further when The Rock slapped Rhodes during a heated confrontation. This led to a chaotic brawl, with all four wrestlers exchanging heated words and engaging in physical altercations.
