Seth Rollins has revealed he was originally scheduled to compete at WWE’s Saturday Night’s Main Event broadcast in December.

During an appearance on WFAN, Rollins discussed his potential interest in commentary after retirement while sharing the scrapped match plans.

When asked if he would consider following Jesse “The Body” Ventura’s path into commentary, Rollins quickly dismissed the idea.

[Laughs] Commentary no, not so much. I think Jesse is awesome, man; I was so bummed I wasn’t on the Saturday Night’s Main Event.

Rollins then explained how his scheduled match was canceled due to his opponent’s injury.

I think I was on the books for a match for that show. Then my opponent this giant dude Bronson Reed, decided to jump off the top of a cage and snap his ankle. And so my match got scrapped.

The planned bout would have been a rubber match between Rollins and Reed to settle their rivalry.

Reed’s injury occurred when he performed a top-of-the-cage dive during the Survivor Series.

Reed is expected to miss WrestleMania 41 as he continues recovery from his ankle injury.

The timeframe for Reed’s return to in-ring competition remains undetermined at this point.

According to a new report from PWInsider, Bronson Reed was spotted today in Birmingham, Alabama. Reed may be in town to receive the latest prognosis and timeline for his return to WWE competition.

Reed underwent surgery on his ankle and foot in Alabama in December 2024 following a major injury suffered during the Men’s WarGames match at WWE Survivor Series last year.

The injury occurred when Reed attempted a Tsunami Splash onto Roman Reigns during the match.

Reed was part of Solo Sikoa’s version of The Bloodline team in the WarGames match. Prior to his injury, Reed was reportedly set to continue his rivalry with Seth Rollins, but those plans were canceled due to the injury.

Bronson Reed is maintaining an active social media presence during his recovery from an ankle injury sustained at Survivor Series: WarGames. The incident occurred when Reed dove from the top of the WarGames cage through a table, resulting in a broken ankle that requires up to a year of rehabilitation.

Recovery Period Sparks Championship Ambitions

Reed recently shared a fan’s message on his Instagram story directed at Triple H, suggesting he should receive all available titles and a WWE Hall of Fame induction. The Auszilla added “This just looks right” to the post, hinting at his aspirations for a significant push upon return.

During his recovery period, Reed has remained engaged with the WWE Universe through social media, notably challenging various superstars and veterans. He has issued warnings to both Hulk Hogan and Ric Flair, threatening them with ‘Tsunamis’ should they consider returning to the ring.

Following successful surgery, Reed faces an extended rehabilitation process before he can resume his in-ring career. His return timeline is projected for late 2025, approximately one year after the WarGames incident.
