At WWE Crown Jewel, fans watched Seth Rollins seize a sneaky victory over Cody Rhodes in their champion vs. champion match to determine the Crown Jewel champion. As of that event, the World Heavyweight Champion Rollins was still seemingly aligned with The Vision.
However, WWE Raw in Australia brought a shocking turn of events, as Bron Breakker waited for Seth Rollins to turn his back, then set up and delivered a massive spear to take him down. From there, he spoke to tag team partner Bronson Reed and soon after, Reed connected on a Tsunami splash.
A broken and bruised Rollins eventually left the ring on his own, but the damage was clearly done. Paul Heyman also seemed to align himself with The Vision, suggesting that they'd determined it'd be better for them not to be associated with Rollins.

However, more news has emerged from WWE's Crown Jewel and Raw, suggesting that Rollins may be out of action for a while.

On Tuesday, his real-life wife, Rebecca Quinn, aka WWE's Becky Lynch, shared her reaction to what happened with Rollins since Crown Jewel.

...
Taking to X, Becky shared the WWE's original video clip of The Vision turning on Seth Rollins. After Bron delivers the vicious spear, he tells Reed to "make a choice" about who he's with.
Based on the splash off the corner onto Rollins, Reed also chose to side with Bron instead of The Visionary.
"I'm gone for one week," Becky wrote in her message with the clip, referring to her absence during the surprising turn of events.
A bit over 45 minutes before Becky shared that video and her reaction, the @WrestleOps X account (via PWInsider) indicated that Rollins "is believed by some within [WWE] to be headed for a shoulder or rotator cuff surgery."
Rollins previously had a big fake-out moment where he faked an injury and used crutches to get around, convincing others that he was legitimately hurt. He ultimately showed up at WWE SummerSlam to cash in his Money in the Bank briefcase after walking onto the stage and ditching his crutches, much to the surprise of fans everywhere, and even his co-workers.
However, this is considered a legitimate injury and a potential candidate for surgery for Rollins. He apparently suffered his injury during his match against Cody Rhodes at Crown Jewel. While performing a move from one corner to the other, he hit a flying headbutt on Rhodes but also landed awkwardly on his arm.
According to Bleacher Report, Rollins appeared to be favoring his arm for the remainder of that match, and later, a photo surfaced showing Rollins wearing a sling after the event.
Before competing at Crown Jewel, Rollins also participated in WWE's previous premium live event on ESPN Unlimited, Wrestlepalooza. During that event, he teamed up with his wife, Becky, in a tag team match they lost to another real-life married couple, CM Punk and AJ Lee.
As of this writing, it's unclear how long Rollins could be out of action. However, it seems apparent that the WWE World Heavyweight Championship could be vacated and a new champion might be decided.
