WWE delivered one of the most memorable episodes of RAW this week, as several noteworthy moments took place on the show. Among everything that happened on the latest edition of the red brand, one thing that was surprising for the professional wrestling world was the unexpected return of Seth Rollins.
The Visionary was absent from WWE TV since his involvement in the main event of WrestleMania 40 Night 2, as he had a torn MCL. Due to his serious injury, he even underwent surgery, and many believed that he’d be out of action for a long time, possibly for the entire year. But, proving all such theories wrong, Rollins has made a return to the industry.
Having Seth back in the company is obviously a great thing for the audience, and it’s probably the same for Rollins, as he was spotted getting emotional in a video just before his live appearance. In a heartwarming backstage video before his RAW return that has been going viral, Seth can be seen fighting back tears.
The way The Visionary was emotional before making his entrance on this week’s Monday Night RAW, it’s evident that being back on TV is a huge thing for him. Also, as he has often talked about his love for wrestling, it’s understandable why Rollins was probably having a heavy heart. Now that Seth is back in WWE, it’ll probably be a great boost for the already exceptional roster of Monday Night RAW.
Seth Rollins’ return was a great surprise for the WWE Universe
As soon as The Visionary made his unexpected return on RAW, the WWE Universe started talking about how Rollins’ return was a great surprise. Expressing how it was shocking to see him back so soon after undergoing surgery, an audience member wrote, “I was shocked to see him back.” (Via: X)
Pointing out how Seth seemed emotional in the backstage footage before his return, someone from the pro wrestling community said, “Look at the emotion in his eyes.” Another member from the fan base stated, “Gave me literal chills.” “You could definitely tell he was emotional,” an enthusiastic fan of WWE commented.
The Visionary received a huge title opportunity after his return on RAW
The WWE Universe and Seth Rollins himself are obviously happy that the former Shield member has returned to the promotion. But the thing that takes their excitement to another level is that The Visionary received a huge title opportunity after his return on RAW. Seth was looking to get a title shot by winning the MITB briefcase at the PLE in Canada, but Damian Priest had a better plan.
As Rollins pitched his participation in the Money In The Bank match, the World Heavyweight Champion showed up to have a face-off with the veteran performer. They started a verbal war, and after an exchange of some words, Priest challenged Seth Rollins to a title match at MITB. As The Visionary wanted a shot at the title, it happily accepted by him, and now the match has been made official.
Rollins getting a huge match on his return is something that gives him a meaningful storyline to work on after his return to the organization. On the other hand, it’s going to be a real challenge for The Judgment Day star when he defends his title against The Visionary. All in all, it’s safe to say that this rivalry is going to be an interesting one, and it’ll be interesting to see how WWE books this feud heading into the upcoming MITB.
