Adam Pearce makes a massive Seth Rollins announcement following injury ahead of WWE RAW

Following the breaking news that Seth Rollins has sustained an arm injury, as seen in photos of the World Heavyweight Champion sporting a cast in Perth ahead of tonight's RAW just minutes away, Adam Pearce has made a major announcement pertaining to The Visionary.

Fresh off a landmark career win this Saturday at Crown Jewel, where he finally overcame his nemesis, Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes, to win the Men's Crown Jewel Championship, Seth Rollins is set to kick off tonight's edition of Monday Night RAW, as announced by Adam Pearce via his social media.

Tonight's show is further stacked with a massive No. 1 Contendership match also set for RAW, which should alleviate fears regarding Rollins having to relinquish the title. However, the extent of Rollins' injury and whether he may have to drop the title soon due to injury remains a major point in wrestling discourse.

An absolutely stacked edition of RAW tonight will also feature Rollins' stablemate, Bronson Reed, in action against Jimmy Uso, fresh off the biggest win of his career this past Saturday, when the Aussie became just the second man to pin Roman Reigns in singles competition this decade.

How did Seth Rollins get injured at Crown Jewel?

During the main event of Crown Jewel, Seth Rollins delivered a ridiculous coast-to-coast diving headbutt to Rhodes. However, The Architect took a nasty bump on his left arm while attempting to minimise the impact of a potentially brutal landing on a more sensitive region of his body.

In attempting to mitigate something worse, he injured his arm and evidently felt the bump throughout the course of the main event. The entire ordeal obviously caused fans to fear for Rollins's health, and while he has indeed turned out to have sustained an injury, he clearly won't be vacating the title.

Whether he will have recovered in time for his next title defense against either CM Punk, Jey Uso, or LA Knight, to be determined in tonight's main event, such that WWE won't have to change original plans, or he will now be dropping the title regardless of earlier plans due to injury of course depends on the nature and extent of the injury and remains to be seen.

CM Punk is a standout figure for Tathya, as he believes the star is a true master of blending fiction and reality in wrestling. Among a whole lot of things about CM Punk, he also resonates with Punk's mantra: "I'm straight edge, and straight edge means I'm better than you."
