– Defeated Finn Balor in the Semi-Finals
On the other hand, Styles advanced to the Finals by winning the following two matches:

During a pre-taped sit-down interview with Corey Graves earlier this week on RAW, Rollins said his current character is his best version due to his organic connection with the fans.
Rollins said there are too many guys at the top that don’t want to take any risks, and that’s why it’s the right time to introduce the new World Heavyweight Championship.
Seth is going to be a part of the upcoming “Captain America: New World Order” movie, which will release on May 3rd 2024.

According to the Wrestling Observer, Rollins scheduled to miss more LIVE TV time, as he won’t appear in person on next week’s RAW either, as he’s filming this movie.
Rollins’ pre-taped sitdown interview with Graves will continue airing on next week’s RAW, where Rollins will comment on Roman Reigns’ Undisputed WWE Universal Championship reign.

1. He won the match to crown the inaugural NXT Champion in 2012.
2. He lost the match to crown the inaugural Universal Champion at SummerSlam 2016.
3. He will compete in a match to crown the inaugural World Heavyweight Champion at Night Of Champions 2023.
