It was announced on Thursday that Seth Rollins has been pulled from the Team Hogan vs. Team Flair 10-man tag team match at Crown Jewel. The reason is because Rollins will be defending his Universal title against “The Fiend” Bray Wyatt in a Falls Count Anywhere match. Hogan and Flair reacted to the news via Twitter, tweeting the following:
Understand the champ @WWERollins needs to do what he’s gotta do. Defending the title against @WWEBrayWyatt is what champions do. Don’t worry Naitch, I got an idea for Team Hogan brother. #WWECrownJewel HH
