Seth Rollins is expected to take on Bronson Reed at Crown Jewel this Saturday, November 2. The Visionary seeks revenge on Bronson Reed after the latter viciously assaulted him back in early August and sidelined him for eight weeks.
However, following a backstage brawl this Monday on RAW, Seth Rollins had to be taken to a medical facility to get treatment, meaning that another superstar might need to step up if the former champion is not medically cleared to compete.
On that occasion, we take a look at four possible replacements for Seth Rollins if he misses Crown Jewel.
#4. Braun Strowman
Braun Strowman had a feud with Bronson Reed that lasted for weeks and ended with a chaotic Last Monster Standing Match, where The Monster Among Men stood tall, thanks to some help from a returning Seth Rollins.
Yet, he tore his groin during the bout and is now recovering from the injury, with no exact timetable to return. If he is medically cleared to compete, he could be the perfect guy to replace Seth Rollins to take on Big Bronson Reed.
#3. Sheamus
The Celtic Warrior had a feud with Reed a few months ago before Pete Dunne showed up and turned on him.
With his rivalry with Dunne now seemingly over, Sheamus could step up and re-ignite his feud with Bronson Reed, as he is in search of his new storyline. If anything, a match between the two hard-hitting stars would be a visual spectacle for the fans.
#2. CM Punk

CM Punk is taking time off to recover from the brutal Hell in Cell Match against Drew McIntyre at Bad Blood. The Best in the World was expected to return at some point in November, but if Seth Rollins is out, WWE could bring him back sooner.
CM Punk had looked to shift his attention to the reigning World Heavyweight Champion Gunther even before his feud with McIntyre ended. But before that, he could have a match with Bronson Reed, which he might use in his rumored rivalry with The Visionary in the future.
Punk and Rollins are set to collide at some point in the coming months, and Punk could try to mock The Visionary with a reference to Bronson Reed should he beat him at Crown Jewel.
The plan for a Seth Rollins vs. CM Punk match is to take place at WrestleMania 41 in Las Vegas in April.
#1. Drew McIntyre
Like CM Punk, Drew McIntyre has also been out since early October, trying to recover from the after-effects of the hellacious bout at Bad Blood.
After a rivalry with Punk that lasted for nearly nine months, he had to take time off to recover and focus on the next storyline. Given that both Drew and Gunther are heels on RAW, a title shot is not a likely scenario at the moment.
Instead, a match against Bronson Reed could be what he is looking for at the moment, as it will allow him to have a face turn that would allow him to have a title opportunity soon.
In addition, like CM Punk, he has unfinished business with Seth Rollins. A victory over Reed could re-ignite the feud between the two superstars, who fought at WrestleMania 40, with the World Heavyweight Championship on the line and McIntyre winning that one.
