Seth Rollins has been absent from WWE since WrestleMania, where he lost the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. Recovering from a knee injury since then, he surprised fans with his return to RAW on June 17.
During the opening segment of RAW this week, the Monday Night Messiah made his comeback to WWE television unexpectedly, following Clash at the Castle. Welcomed by chants from the Corpus Christi, Texas crowd, Rollins greeted them back to Monday Night Rollins.

Expressing his desire to reclaim the World Heavyweight Championship he once held, Rollins wasted no time in announcing his intention to enter the Money in the Bank match. However, his plans were interrupted by current World Heavyweight Champion Damian Priest.
This set up a match against Priest for the World Heavyweight Championship at Money in the Bank on July 6.

Seth Rollins’ Contract Situation
Rollins inked a new deal with WWE before WrestleMania. He will be around for multiple years, into his 40s, so he is re-starting a new run with the company.
Seth Rollins’ wife, Becky Lynch, on the other hand, did not renew her contract with WWE, giving her more time at home. However, Rollins’ return to WWE television marks a shift, drawing cheers from fans as they joined in singing along to his entrance music.
