Report: Update On Seth Rollins' WWE Raw Schedule Following World Heavyweight Title Win

​Will the Monday Night Messiah be a regular presence on Raw?

After reports that WWE were hesitant to put the new World Heavyweight Title on Seth 'Freakin' Rollins, the Monday Night Messiah won the gold by defeating AJ Styles at Night of Champions. 

It was speculated that WWE may not be keen on making Rollins the new champion if filming commitments for the Marvel Studios film Captain America: New World Order interfered with his schedule. 

That speculation was subsequently clarified, though WWE are cognisant of Seth and his wife Becky Lynch pursuing further work in Hollywood in the future.

As for right now, a new report from PWInsider Elite states that Seth will be on every episode of Raw going forward, so any additional filming commitments he has will not conflict with his work on WWE's flagship show. 

Rollins was present on this past Monday's episode of the show, teaming with Styles to defeat The Judgment Day (Damian Priest & Finn Balor) in the main event. 

It is unclear who the first challenger for Seth's title will be, though it is unlikely to be Brock Lesnar.
