'I've Been Right All Along' - Seth Rollins Slams WWE Fans' Biggest Theory
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. WWE Raw superstar Seth Rollins has pushed back against the perception that he is a heel. Instead, he insists in a recent interview with Kay Adams that he remains a good guy, aka a babyface. He has also said that the recent controversial alliances are simply a case of others recognizing the fact that he is right. This comes as Rollins spearheads a new dominant faction on Monday Night Raw alongside Paul Heyman, Bron Breakker, and Bronson Reed. When asked about his current on-screen persona, Rollins stated, "I'm not [a heel], I'm a good guy. I haven't changed a bit." He explained, "It just so happens that people have come to me. People have flocked to me." "I've been right all along!" Seth Rollins has something to say to every WWE fan calling him a villain. 👀 @heykayadams | @WWERollins — Up & Adams (@UpAndAdamsShow) June 5, 2025 Rollins pointed to his claimed WrestleMania 41 success as validation: "Now look, I saw you before WrestleMania. I told you before WrestleMania exactly what was going to happen. I was going to put it to Roman Reigns. I was going to put it to CM Punk. I was going to win the main event of WrestleMania. I did all that. Absolutely nothing changed." Seth Rollins gestures to the crowd during WWE Monday Night RAW at Toyota Center on March 11, 2024 in Houston, Texas.

Regarding his new stablemates, Rollins commented, "Then you see, Bron Breakker, he wants to learn from me. Bronson Reed, we had a little thing last year, but now there's a lot of respect between the two of us, and we're off to the races." When Kay Adams directly asked if he considered himself a heel, Rollins responded, "No, absolutely not. No, not." He then delivered a message to WWE fans who view him as such: "I've been right all along. I know you, you're new to WWE, but for all the WWE fans out there that are watching, I have been right every step of the way, and I have pulled you guys kicking and screaming through the mud." Rollins proclaimed, "...and now we are in the greatest version of WWE of all time, and so I will continue to be that person that leads us into the future, whether you think that I am right or not."

Rey Mysterio Shares Unfortunate Update Amid WWE Hiatus
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. WWE Hall of Famer Rey Mysterio has opened up about the extent of the injuries that forced him to miss his scheduled match against "El Grande Americano" Chad Gable at WrestleMania 41 earlier this year. He was removed from the card after suffering a groin injury during a six-man tag team match on the April 18, 2025, episode of SmackDown. In a recent interview with Jim Varsallone, the 50-year-old lucha libre legend revealed he was dealing with more than just the publicly known groin issue. Mysterio stated, "No, not easy (to stay on top in the wrestling industry). Obviously, with the amount of injuries that I've had over the years." He continued, "I'm actually recovering from one that I just had right before WrestleMania. A torn groin and a busted eardrum." Despite these significant setbacks, Mysterio shared his love for performing. "I still love doing what I do. I definitely believe that I picked up my second wind when my son started to wrestle and he broke in for the first time," he shared. "Although he's been around since he was seven years old when we had the storyline with Eddie Guerrero and the custody of Dominik (Mysterio)." Mysterio further elaborated on what keeps him going. "But overall, the passion that I have for the sport. I wanna consider myself a peacemaker," he said. "I don't have any problems, at least I don't think I do, with any of my colleagues, with my fans around the world. I like to connect and in some way, that keeps me pushing forward and loving what I've been doing for the past three, four years, or should I say from the age of four when I started training."

I enjoy watching my son," Mysterio explained. More news: WWE News: Steve Austin Reveals Real-Life Vince McMahon Confrontation "It's a diversity of fans and to be able to travel around the world and connect with all these fans, at times, has been just amazing. The love and support that they show is like no other". Following the injuries, Mysterio underwent surgery to repair a torn abductor muscle. It was also reported that WWE had to scrap a special entrance planned for him at WrestleMania 41 due to his forced withdrawal from the event, where Rey Fenix ultimately took his place against Gable. An exact timetable for Mysterio's return to WWE action is currently unknown as he continues his recovery. More WWE News: For more on WWE, head to Newsweek Sports.

Absent WWE Stars Could Return Sooner Than Expected: Report
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. It appears that WWE is bringing back an absent faction to television soon in the way of the Wyatt Sicks. According to a new report from citing a source within WWE Creative, there is significant discussion about the group finally making their impactful return to the SmackDown brand. The WWE Creative source told that the Wyatt Sicks may be returning "sooner than you think." The Wyatt Sicks, and the character of Uncle Howdy (portrayed by Bo Dallas, Bray Wyatt's real-life brother) are deeply connected to the legacy of the late Bray Wyatt. For months, WWE has masterfully built anticipation through a series of mysterious vignettes, QR code clues, and eerie background appearances, all hinting at the arrival of real-life manifestations of Wyatt's "Firefly Funhouse" characters. Members like Erick Rowan, Nikki Cross, Dexter Lumis, and Joe Gacy have been strongly linked or visually teased as part of this collective, continuing the dark and theatrical lore established by Wyatt. This was last year, but now, WWE needs to reshuffle the group. More news: WWE News: Steve Austin Reveals Real-Life Vince McMahon Confrontation While specific details about these "new creative pitches" remain under wraps, their existence indicates active planning for the next chapter of the Wyatt Sicks saga. A return to Friday Night SmackDown would undoubtedly send shockwaves through the blue brand, introducing a dark, unpredictable, and potentially dominant force waiting for a significant storyline push. Persistent rumors regarding Alexa Bliss's potential involvement with the Wyatt Sicks add another layer of intrigue. Bliss has a significant history with Bray Wyatt, having been a key part of "The Fiend," where her character underwent a dark transformation. Since her return to WWE in early 2025, reports, including some from PWInsider, have suggested that creative plans might involve her being linked to or even leading the Wyatt Sicks. HOUSTON, TEXAS - MARCH 11: A general stadium view during WWE Monday Night RAW at Toyota Center on March 11, 2024 in Houston, Texas.

Her connection to the Wyatt lore makes her a natural fit for many fans and observers, though WWE has yet to confirm any such direction. The "sooner than you think" timeframe for the faction's return will fuel further discussion and anticipation for what promises to be one of WWE's most captivating and unsettling storylines. Bliss is back on WWE television, as she returned this month and qualified for Money in the Bank. Perhaps, they can help her out in winning the contract again.
