SUMMARY
- Seth Rollins played an important part in making WrestleMania 40 a huge success.
- The Visionary competed in two matches across both nights, and also appeared in the Night 2 main event.
Seth Rollins is often said to be the workhouse of WWE, and he proved why he gets this title once again at WrestleMania 40. The Visionary first competed in the Night 1 main event, as he and Cody Rhodes lost to the team of Roman Reigns and The Rock. After this, he defended his World Heavyweight title against Drew McIntyre on Sunday night.
Even though he lost his championship in the opening match of Night 2, he came out to even the odds for Cody in the “Bloodline Rules” match. Seth appeared in his shield gear with a steel chair in hand to take out Dwayne Johnson. But The Visionary ended up taking a vicious Superman Punch from The Tribal Chief.
In fact, what fans witnessed after this was even more surprising. It happened when Seth Rollins hit the ring after being attacked by The Head of the Table, as his leg buckled. This horrifying spot was caught on camera by the audience, and it is now going viral. Moreover, it has left fans concerned about the in-ring future of the professional wrestling star.

Despite this, Rollins stayed in the ring for the next phase of the match too, as after The Undertaker took out The Rock, Seth and Cody were the two guys on opposite sides of the ring. As Reigns decided to hit his former teammate at that moment, he ended up losing his Undisputed Championship, and in this way, The Visionary fulfilled his promise of being The American Nightmare’s shield.

As far as the former World Heavyweight Champion’s return to action is concerned, he would probably have to stay on the sidelines for an extended period of time. For now, the fan-favorite star is into his recovery period, and he’ll be looking forward to making a grand comeback to the Triple H-led promotion once he gets fully fit for participation in in-ring action.
