WWE Superstar Seth Rollins is returning on the January 1 edition of the Friday Night SmackDown!

Rollins has been absent from WWE TV ever since we saw him 'sacrificing' himself for the greater good at Survivor Series 2020. The former Universal Champion had donned the gimmick of The Messiah around a year ago and showed shades of the same at the event during a Traditional 5-on-5 Survivor Series Elimination match. He allowed Sheamus to put him down and cover him for the pin, thus leading to his elimination.
Seth Rollins went on paternity leave after the birth of his first child
Although in the storyline, Seth Rollins sacrificed himself for the greater good, in reality, he was set to take time off after the birth of his first child with fellow WWE Superstar Becky Lynch. The couple was engaged last year, with Becky going on hiatus due to her pregnancy, immediately after WWE Money In The Bank 2020.

He completed his MBA from the Symbiosis Institute of Telecom Management in 2016 and worked with multiple banking institutions, including Tech Mahindra. While he started writing WWE articles for Sportskeeda in 2019 as a hobby, it eventually became a significant part of his professional journey.
Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.
He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.
Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
