Former World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins has been spotted backstage at tonight’s WWE Raw in Brooklyn, New York. According to Fightful Select, Rollins is present at the Barclays Center for the show, which serves as the one-year anniversary of Raw’s move to Netflix.
While it remains unconfirmed if he is planned to appear on the broadcast or if he is simply visiting, the report notes that the show is “planned to be a big one.” It should be noted that he was in New York City for Good Morning Football and could just be visiting since he’s in the area.
Rollins has been sidelined with a legitimate injury at Crown Jewel and written off TV following an attack by his former “The Vision” stablemates Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed. Despite his absence from the ring, he has been seen backstage at a number of WWE shows recently.
In addition to his potential involvement with the live show, Rollins is scheduled to be an integral part of the promotion for the upcoming second season of WWE Unreal. The new season, which premieres on January 20, 2026, will heavily feature Rollins’ “fake injury” storyline from the previous summer.
That angle saw Rollins feign a knee injury for weeks—deceiving fans, media, and even fellow talent—before returning to shock CM Punk and cash in his Money in the Bank contract at SummerSlam. Rollins has been sidelined after undergoing surgery on his rotator cuff, with the anticipated recovery time of around six months, aiming for a return in time for WrestleMania 42 in April 2026.
