Seth Rollins’ injury threw a major wrench into WWE’s long-term creative direction, forcing the company to pivot away from Roman Reigns vs. Rollins at WrestleMania 42 and reshuffle plans for The Vision—the faction that includes Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed.

While the current roadmap now points toward Cody Rhodes vs. Roman Reigns and CM Punk vs. Bron Breakker, the original layout for Rollins was far more central. But what happens when Rollins returns?

According to Bodyslam.net, internal discussions regarding Rollins’ return to WWE storylines and his role in The Vision have already begun—but nothing is locked in just yet. It will come down to timing and when Rollins is ready to return.

That leaves WWE with some flexibility but also uncertainty. Originally, Roman Reigns was expected to bulldoze through The Vision on his way to WrestleMania 42, defeating both Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed, then capturing the championship from Rollins. Bron was then set to turn on Rollins after the loss, taking control of The Vision in a full-circle power play.

But Rollins’ rotator cuff injury forced WWE to abandon that long-term plan. Now, with Cody Rhodes slotted in to face Roman at WrestleMania and Breakker lined up against CM Punk for the World Heavyweight Championship, Seth’s role in the company’s main event scene remains in limbo—until timing and health line up.

As of now, Rollins’ road to return is one of the biggest wildcards in WWE’s future booking plans. Whether The Vision still belongs to him—or becomes Bron Breakker’s alone—will be determined in due time.

What do you think WWE should do with The Vision once Seth Rollins returns? Should he reclaim leadership, or is it Bron Breakker’s faction now? Drop your take in the comments below.
