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 expressed support for Dakota Kai ahead of her Women’s Intercontinental Championship tournament final match against Lyra Valkyria on RAW. The Damage CTRL member reached the finals after defeating Katana Chance, Shayna Baszler, and Zoey Stark in previous rounds.

Reed took to social media to back Kai in her pursuit of making history:

Reed eyes major push upon return from injury

The Auszilla has remained active on social media since suffering an ankle injury at Survivor Series: WarGames in November. A recent Instagram story showed Reed agreeing with a fan’s message to Triple H requesting multiple titles and a Hall of Fame induction for the superstar.

Reed sustained a broken ankle after diving off the WarGames cage through a table, requiring surgery and potentially sidelining him for up to a year. The injury occurred as he was building momentum through his association with The Bloodline, with plans reportedly in place for him to resume his rivalry with Seth Rollins to close out 2024.
