Seth Rollins’ absence on the latest episode of RAW raised questions about his support for Cody Rhodes, especially after Rhodes suffered a defeat to Drew McIntyre in a grueling match, marred by interference from Solo Sikoa.
Rollins, known for his vocal backing of Rhodes, was conspicuously missing from ringside, prompting speculation about the severity of his recent injury.
Rollins had been on the brink of missing WrestleMania 40 following an injury sustained in a match against Jinder Mahal. While defending his World Heavyweight title on RAW, Rollins injured his knee, causing concern among fans.
However, subsequent assessments revealed that the injury wasn’t as severe as initially feared, and he is expected to compete at WrestleMania. So, why wasn’t he there to support Rhodes?
The most apparent explanation is Rollins is still recuperating from his injury. Although he can move around, a slight limp is noticeable whenever he enters the arena. Furthermore, from a storyline perspective, Rollins may have held back because he hasn’t received a clear indication from Rhodes about whether he truly wants his assistance.
Nonetheless, the two shared a silent moment backstage after the match, conveying an unspoken understanding. Rhodes may face further attacks from The Bloodline, and without enlisting Rollins’ support, the challenges may persist unabated.
