Seth Rollins, once the reigning World Heavyweight Champion, now finds himself without the prestigious title, leaving a noticeable void on RAW that fans will surely feel. His response to this loss is nothing short of heartbreaking.
Since claiming the championship at Night of Champions in May 2023, Rollins has been the backbone of Monday Night RAW for almost a year, carrying the weight of the World Heavyweight Championship with him.
For the better part of those eleven months, he stood alone as the sole champion, defending his title against all challengers despite facing numerous hurdles, particularly concerning his physical well-being.
The end of Rollins’ remarkable reign came at WrestleMania Sunday when Drew McIntyre emerged victorious, ending Rollins’ emotional journey with tears marking the moment of defeat.
Acknowledging McIntyre’s victory, Rollins conceded that McIntyre deserved the title but lamented his absence when Damian Priest cashed in his Money in the Bank contract on the new champion.
This unexpected turn of events was triggered by CM Punk’s retaliatory attack on McIntyre, seeking retribution for an injury inflicted during the Royal Rumble.
The emotional toll of losing the World Heavyweight Championship is evident, considering Rollins’ exemplary tenure as champion, arguably the pinnacle of his career thus far.
However, McIntyre’s triumph was short-lived as CM Punk’s interference marred the celebratory moment, underscoring the unpredictable nature of professional wrestling and the relentless pursuit of glory and retribution.
