WWE can change major "rule" to replace Seth Rollins on the roster, says Hall of Famer (Exclusive)

Seth Rollins is currently out of action in WWE, following an injury during his match with LA Knight at Saturday Night's Main Event. Since the Money in the Bank briefcase is now unusable, Hall of Famer Teddy Long thinks another star should be brought in as a replacement.

The Visionary is still officially the holder of the MITB, despite being out with an injury. This leaves the briefcase's future uncertain for now, which Teddy Long believes should not be the case. While the briefcase doesn't generally change hands, the Hall of Famer thinks the General Manager, Adam Pearce, could overrule protocol as part of a storyline.

On The Wrestling Time Machine, hosted by Mac Davis, the WWE Hall of Famer stated:

"They can always bring in the GM. The GM there, Adam there, he can always change that rule. But he can say he went to a higher authority, you know, someone higher than him, to find out what he can really do and what he can't do, and he found out that he can change that rule. So let that leave it in the hands of the GM." [5:15 onwards]

Seth Rollins may be present at WWE SummerSlam

While The Visionary is not currently part of the active scene, he has teased an appearance at SummerSlam.

Speaking on the Rich Eisen show, Seth explained the likelihood of his return at The Biggest Party of the Summer. He said:

"To be fair, I might be there. My wife is wrestling Lyra Valkyria for the Intercontinental Championship at SummerSlam. So, we'll see, depending on how this goes. If traveling is easy enough, I might make my way out to ... We're at MetLife. We're outside New York, New Jersey, for two nights, SummerSlam in August. So, we'll see," Rollins said.

A fan of pro wrestling since childhood, Shubhajit decided to start creating content on the sport out of passion. Before covering a piece of news or rumor, he conducts thorough research, ensuring information in his work is reliable and completely accurate.

Although Shubhajit admires numerous pro wrestlers, his current favorite is WWE superstar Drew McIntyre. He is fond of The Scottish Warrior’s character work and innovative quips.

If there is one storyline he can work on in WWE, Shubhajit would book Roman Reigns’ future with The Bloodline following WrestleMania XL, where he lost to Cody Rhodes. He would have Reigns’ stablemates excommunicate him, laying the foundation for a gimmick change for the former. After Reigns’ exit from the faction, Shubhajit would portray him as an anti-hero trying hard to claw his way back up to the top.

Apart from reporting on pro wrestling, Shubhajit enjoys competitive gaming and reading.
