WWE Superstar Seth Rollins will be out of action on WWE Day 1. Who can be the possible replacements for former world champion

Former WWE Universal Champion Seth Rollins will be out of action on contracting COVID-19.

“Merry Covid Christmas to me!!!! I LOVE FOOTBALL!!!”

Now the talking topic for everyone is who will replace Seth Rollins at WWE Day 1 for the Fatal 4 Way battle against Big E, Kevin Owens and Bobby Lashley?

Possible Replacements for Seth Rollins at WWE Day 1

1. Austin Theory 

Promising WWE Superstar Austin Theory could get his moment at WWE Day 1. Theory is being groomed to be the next big thing on WWE RAW. Under the radar of Vince McMahon, he can get the opportunity to represent himself to the big match at WWE Day 1.

As we know, McMahon can go up to any level to make his player win. So he can ensure that Theory gets the upper hand. So even though Kevin Owens and Lashley are technically heels, Theory could come in handy as someone the Chairmen is rooting for. 

2. AJ Styles 

The phenomenal one has been out of the picture since 2018, and with his stature, he can easily replace Rollins into title contention at Day 1, mainly because of the past rivalry with Owens.

As the stable of Styles and Omos has now been broken, he is free to contest into any given singles challenge. And a storyline might start with Omos interfering in the match and costing Styles the title.

3. Finn Balor 

WWE Superstar Finn Balor has been really impressed with his different gimmicks, and fans really love him. Balor can be easily entered into the title contention with Rollins out.

Balor going up against the other big three and winning the WWE Championship won’t be the wrong decision to consider.

4. Rey Mysterio 

The veteran Rey Mysterio is a tough competitor to beat in a championship battle. He has been in several Fatal 4 ways and Triple Threats in his entire career. In addition, Mysterio has been a part of the Elimination Chamber.

Since Mysterio is out of contention for the Raw Tag Team Championships after losing the finals of RK-Bro Nament, his availability is now wide open.

Mysterios last Championship match came against Brock Lesnar in 2019, which was quite an enthralling match as it led the crowd on the edge of their seats. He is one of the best potential candidates for the game.

5. Veer 

The arrival of Veer on Monday Night Raw is taking so long that he might get directly introduced in the Fatal 4 Way WWE Championship match as a replacement for Rollins.

Veer’s inclusion in the match will be fascinating as it would make one hell of a comeback and establish him as a monster heel that WWE seems to repackage. He is a destructive force, and it can turn out to be an excellent opportunity for him with an array of different moves.
