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 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 event will take place next Saturday in Tropicana Field.

Tommy Dreamer, a former professional wrestler, has proposed a backup plan for WrestleMania 40 in case Seth Rollins is unable to compete at the event. Rollins, who recently retained the World Heavyweight Championship on RAW, was seen limping after his match against Jinder Mahal.
Dreamer discussed the situation on the “Busted Open Radio” podcast, stating that if Rollins is going to miss a significant amount of time, there is still enough time before WrestleMania to assess his injury. He mentioned the possibility of a hyper-extension or a tweak, which would require MRIs to determine the severity of the injury. Dreamer suggested that if Rollins can still move with the help of a brace, he could potentially participate in WrestleMania.
Dreamer also speculated on who could potentially face Rollins at WrestleMania if he is unable to compete. He predicted that CM Punk, who has not had a match to defeat anyone on television, could win the Men’s Royal Rumble match and earn a main event spot at WrestleMania. Dreamer also mentioned Cody Rhodes and Drew as potential opponents for Punk.
In the meantime, Rollins is scheduled to undergo an MRI to gather crucial information about his injury. The WWE Royal Rumble 2024 event is set to take place next Saturday in Tropicana Field.
