Seth Rollins has established himself as one of WWE’s cornerstones in the modern era. He is a two-time WWE Champion, two-time World Heavyweight Champion, two-time Universal Championship, two-time United States Champion, two-time Intercontinental Champion, and has won six Tag Team Championships. Most recently, he captured the Crown Jewel Championship.
The Visionary revealed on Mohr Stories that his current WWE contract expires in 3 years, meaning he is set to remain with the company through at least 2028.
Currently, Rollins is recovering after undergoing shoulder surgery in October. He signed a major WWE contract extension in May 2024.
He also gave an update on his injury during the interview:
“I have a few more months left with my shoulder. I had the rotator cuff surgery eight weeks ago, almost nine from where we’re talking right now.
So, you know, I got another three months, four months at least.”
“We get paid by America too. You think there’s no blood money there?” – Seth Rollins Defends WWE/Saudi Arabia Partnership
WWE has maintained a long-term partnership with Saudi Arabia since signing a 10-year deal in 2018, requiring the company to hold two Premium Live Events in the kingdom each year. In recent years, WWE has also hosted episodes of RAW and SmackDown in the region.
The partnership has faced criticism, particularly early on when women were not permitted to compete on the shows. Over time, the situation has evolved, with female wrestlers now participating both in matches and behind the scenes.
During this podcast appearance, Rollins also addressed fans who label WWE’s Saudi events as “blood money deals.” He defended the company, pointing out that WWE earns revenue from multiple sources, including American audiences, and implied that money from the U.S. isn’t entirely free from controversy either.
“We’ve been going there for six years. We’ve been taking sh*t for six years. ‘It’s blood money.’ Yeah, well, guess what? We get paid by America, too. What do you think? You think there’s no blood money there? Come on. Get out of here.
I’ll say this. When we went in 2019, I was skeptical as well. ‘Oh, I don’t know about this. I don’t know how I feel about it.’ But we go over there and the change in the culture and the people at our shows in six years has been incredible. We went there the first time, there were no women on our show. There were no women backstage. They wouldn’t do anything. Now we go there and it’s just like a WWE show.”
Despite the backlash, the relationship between WWE and Saudi Arabia continues to expand. WWE is scheduled to return to the kingdom next month for the Royal Rumble, which will be the company’s biggest event there to date.
In 2027, WWE will also hold WrestleMania 43 in Saudi Arabia.
