Seth Rollins: I Am Rightfully The WWE World Heavyweight Champion

Seth Rollins suffered an injury at WWE Crown Jewel in his match against Cody Rhodes after hitting a coast-to-coast headbutt.

Rollins went on to win the match, but due to his injury, had to relinquish the WWE World Heavyweight Title.

It is unknown when he will return to the ring, but he has a target in mind when he does return.

“The primary [target] in my return will actually not be a person at all, it’ll be a thing. That would be the World Heavyweight Championship because I never lost the title, so I am rightfully the World Heavyweight Champion,” Rollins told Clutchpoints. “I was stripped of that championship, and anybody who [is] in possession of that title, be it CM Punk, be it Bron Breakker, anybody who stands in my way, they will be dealt with.”

CM Punk will defend the title against Bron Breakker on the January 5th episode of WWE Raw.

Rollins said he was looking at a six-month recovery upon his injury.
