Tommy Dreamer has shared a potential backup plan for WrestleMania 40 if Seth Rollins can’t compete at the upcoming two-night show.
On this week’s episode of RAW, Rollins defeated Jinder Mahal to retain the World Heavyweight Championship but was seen limping after the match.
On a recent edition of the “Busted Open Radio” podcast, Dreamer reflected on the Rollins situation. He said,
“If…he is gonna miss some significant time, I know the Royal Rumble’s right around the corner, but WrestleMania? You’ve still got some time. If it’s a hyper-extension, if it’s a tweak, obviously you’re gonna get MRIs to see if there’s tears or you have your mobility, because a lot of times you could also get a big ol’ brace and you gotta be able to continue because it’s WrestleMania.”
Dreamer added that a lot could depend on who wins the Men’s Royal Rumble match, which the ECW alum predicts will be CM Punk. He said,
“He [Punk] really hasn’t had a match to defeat anybody on television, so if he wins the Rumble, which [earns him] his main event of WrestleMania, which is what he wanted, you can have a compelling argument for him and Cody. You could also have a compelling argument to have Drew in there as well.”
Rollins is set to undergo an MRI which will provide crucial information on his injury. The WWE Royal Rumble 2024 pay-per-view event will take place next Saturday at Tropicana Field.
