WWE RAW: 5 big backstage rumors that could have a major impact - heartbreaking news for Superstar's future, major push, Lynch plans (23rd December)

#1 Company had to change plans for Seth Rollins

Seth Rollins has been 'burning it down' ever since he embraced the dark side again and become a full-fledged heel by aligning himself with AOP. The Architect did not have a match at TLC owing to a finger injury, but original plans for him had him compete at TLC and turn heel after the PPV.

As per SportsKeeda's Tom Colohue, Rollins was set to face Kevin Owens at TLC and turn heel only after the event. It was due to the former WWE Champion's untimely injury that the company had to rush into the heel turn.

“It was a little bit rushed. The injury, even if it was a small injury to Seth Rollins’ hand, did mean that he couldn’t wrestle at least for a little while, so they pulled the trigger a bit early.”

“It was supposed to be a match at TLC, it was supposed to be a heel turn in the days after, maybe on Monday night [after TLC], but they brought it ahead a little bit. I thought it still had a lot of impact, but it’s a real shame they couldn’t be on the TLC card to really follow it up.”

While a slow-burn heel turn would have been interesting to watch, it will be exciting to see how the new and more aggressive Seth Rollins takes on Rey Mysterio and Kevin Owens this week.
