As successful as Seth Rollins is in WWE, he hasn’t quite had a favorable run on the roster since 2022. Rollins’ downfall began when Cody Rhodes made his triumphant return to WWE. After suffering three consecutive losses to Rhodes, Rollins has taken a step back from being a main-event talent. A recent report theorizes The Visionary’s possible departure from WWE due to Creative disagreements. 

After conceding subsequent defeats to Cody Rhodes, the 36-year-old was relegated to the mid-cards. Although Rollins had a riveting match against Logan Paul at WrestleMania 39, fans believe that the Architect deserved more than facing a rookie at the Grandest Stage.

Make no mistake, Logan Paul has proven his worth in WWE, but the fact that WWE still has no significant plans for Rollins in the foreseeable future may cause Rollins to seek his early release from WWE. 

Will Seth Rollins join Jon Moxley and leave WWE for AEW?

According to The Sports Entertainer YouTube channel, Seth Rollins is unsatisfied with his creative direction in WWE. Rollins seemingly believes he is being underwhelmingly booked. This has led to rumors that the former WWE Champion’s patience is wearing thin and that he could seek an early release from WWE and join AEW.

The video also drew parallels between the careers of Seth Rollins and Jon Moxlet f.k.a Dean Ambrose. After a lackluster run, Dean Ambrose split from WWE in 2019 and joined Tony Khan’s company. 

“Seth Rollins feels he deserves way more than he’s been given in WWE. and that the company has not given him the respect he deserves.”

It’s worth noting that neither Seth Rollins nor any other source has confirmed this to be true. If the infighting is true and if Rollins is tired of playing second fiddle, he may leave WWE for AEW. That would mean him working separate schedules from his wife, Becky Lynch.

This may also make things uneasy for them as parents, given their daughter, Roux, is only two years old. At this point, the claims are based on pure conjecture.

Seth Rollins has legitimate heat with Cody Rhodes

It’s no secret that Seth Rollins and Cody Rhodes are bitter rivals on-screen. But it is also true that the duo can’t stand each other in real life. Although their Hell in a Cell match was regarded as the match of the year 2022, there is no love lost between the duo. In fact, both superstars once came very close to going to blows backstage. 

While speaking on Dan LeBatard Show ahead of WrestleMania 39, Cody Rhodes revealed Seth Rollins did not take Cody Rhodes headlining WrestleMania very kindly. Their differences almost caused a fistfight between the two athletes. 

Seth Rollins is the closest I’ve ever had to backstage turning into a fistfight in front of all of our peers and upper management. It didn’t happen. Him and I absolutely can’t stand one another, I’d probably try and rip his eyes out,” said Cody.
