Seth Rollins removed from this weekend’s WWE house shows in Japan

Seth Rollins is no longer advertised for this weekend’s WWE house shows in Japan.

According to the ticket listings, Rollins has been removed from both the October 17 and 18 SuperShow cards, which will take place at Ryogoku Sumo Hall. He was originally set to face CM Punk on October 17 then team with Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed to take on Punk, Shinsuke Nakamura, and Jey Uso the following day. The updated lineups now have Punk wrestling Dominik Mysterio on the 17th while Punk & Nakamura will team up to take on Breakker & Reed on the 18th.

Rollins appeared to suffer a shoulder injury during his match against Cody Rhodes at Crown Jewel, making appearances after show wearing a sling. It isn’t known if he will require surgery as he will need to be evaluated in Birmingham, Alabama. Both Bryan Alvarez and Dave Meltzer believe the injury is legitimate, but note that some in WWE are skeptical given Rollins’ injury storyline during the summer, which was claimed to be legit at the time.

A shocking storyline at the end of Monday’s Raw seemed to write Rollins out for the time being. The final moments of the show saw Breakker spear Rollins, telling Reed and Paul Heyman that they were either with him or against him. Both made their choice quickly, with Heyman snatching the title from Rollins and Reed giving Rollins a tsunami. The show ended with the three united.
