A potential spoiler on the WWE King of the Ring tournament winner has emerged. Reports suggest that Seth Rollins is expected to win the tournament and go on to face Roman Reigns for the World Heavyweight Championship at SummerSlam.
The claim comes from Self Made Pro, speaking during a Self Made Session. The source was careful to note that plans are fluid, describing “a lot of moving parts” and “a lot up in the air right now for SummerSlam.”
“Seth Rollins is going to win King of the Ring. Today I was just talking to somebody about the King of the Ring situation, and what they said to me was there are a lot of moving parts. There’s a lot up in the air right now for SummerSlam, for whatever reason. What they told me was that, right now, the plan is for Seth Rollins to win the tournament and face Roman Reigns. So that’s what I was told.”
Rollins is among the WWE King of the Ring competitors set for the June 8 episode of Raw, where he is scheduled to compete in a Fatal 4-Way alongside Je’Von Evans, Ricky Saints, and Tama Tonga.
On the SmackDown side, the tournament field includes Jey Uso, LA Knight, Royce Keys, Finn Bálor, Dominik Mysterio, Bron Breakker, Trick Williams, and Damian Priest.
Roman Reigns is the current World Heavyweight Champion, having won the title at WrestleMania 42. A Rollins challenge would set up a high-profile SummerSlam main event if the reported plan holds.
