As WrestleMania 40 approaches, Seth Rollins finds himself at the center of attention with rumors swirling about his WWE future. Scheduled for dual high-stakes matches, including defending his World Heavyweight Championship against Drew McIntyre and teaming with Cody Rhodes against Roman Reigns and The Rock, Rollins faces a hectic schedule. However, reports suggest these could be his final WWE appearances for a while.

Sources close to *The Sports Entertainer* indicate that Rollins plans to take an extended break from WWE following WrestleMania 40. This decision isn’t fueled by discontent or a desire to jump ship to AEW, as previously speculated. Instead, Rollins reportedly feels burnt out and in need of a prolonged hiatus to recharge.

Recent backstage leaks suggest a compromise may have been reached between Rollins and WWE management, led by Triple H. Allegedly, Rollins has agreed to sign a new WWE contract, provided he is granted the extended break he desires. This arrangement may also involve his wife, Becky Lynch, who is facing a similar contract situation and seeking time off to spend with their young daughter.

The reported plan is for Rollins to drop the World Heavyweight Championship to Drew McIntyre at WrestleMania 40 and subsequently disappear from WWE television for an extended period—potentially the remainder of 2024. Rollins would then return to WWE programming in early 2025, refreshed and ready to resume his career.

While Rollins remains committed to WWE and has no intentions of leaving, his impending hiatus marks a significant shift in his career trajectory. Fans eagerly await confirmation as WrestleMania 40 draws nearer, with speculation rife about the implications of Rollins’ departure and eventual return.
