Less than a week out from the show, Seth Rollins confirmed he won't make a shocking return in the 2026 Royal Rumble match.

Former World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins is out with a shoulder injury, and a group of pundits and fans believe the former leader of Vision may shock the world by returning at the Royal Rumble.

Rollins has had his share of iconic moments at the “Showcase of the Immortals,” ranging from the “Heist of the Century” back in 2015 to his alignment with Paul Heyman at last year’s event. So it would be very much on brand for him to show up and shift the paradigm once again.

Seth Rollins names his dream wrestling matches with NFL players and coaches. To promote this weekend’s Royal Rumble event, Seth Rollins stopped by ESPN’s Get Up show on Thursday, January 29. Peter Schrager asked Rollins to name five dream matches that include names from the NFL.
