Xero News recently took to Twitter and reported that AJ Styles or Seth Rollins winning the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at WWE Night Of Champions on May 27th might not be the plan. Not only that, Vince McMahon’s death clause was also revealed in a contract.
There are some in WWE who feel AJ Styles should win the World Heavyweight Championship at Night of Champions, whilst some feel that Seth Rollins is considered the “fans choice” – both have their supporters internally, but i’m told it’s not as straight forward as we may think. 👀

Seth Rollins is an accomplished WWE superstar, widely recognized as one of the top performers in the industry. He has been on an impressive run recently, solidifying his status as a formidable force in the ring. However, recent reports indicate that Rollins has been receiving criticism for taking up too much time during his matches, thereby eating into the time of other wrestlers.
Over the last few years, Rollins’ character has undergone a significant transformation. He has played the role of a villainous heel, and his work in this capacity has been highly effective in generating heat from the fans. In the last year alone, Rollins has engaged in some highly entertaining feuds with the likes of Edge, Cody Rhodes, Logan Paul, and more.
Fans have also grown to love Rollins’ entrance music, which has at times overshadowed other parts of the show. This was particularly noticeable during WWE’s recent visit to Paris, where Rollins’ entrance received an enthusiastic response from the audience.
However, former WWE writer Vince Russo has been critical of Rollins’ habit of prolonging his segments. Russo believes that Rollins’ tendency to get the fans to sing along to his entrance music takes away valuable time that could be used for other wrestlers’ matches. He argues that while this may be a fun spectacle to watch once or twice, it becomes tedious after a while, especially if it affects other wrestlers’ time in the ring.
Rollins is scheduled to compete against AJ Styles in the final of the World Heavyweight Championship tournament at WWE Night of Champions in Saudi Arabia. It remains to be seen whether Rollins will emerge victorious and become the new champion.
“I don’t know what Seth’s excuse is. I mean, my god, I would like to be in that dude’s head. I don’t understand the point of getting them just to sing four or five times, and it’s doing another thing others don’t understand. It’s cutting into other people’s times. You’re now elongating your segment so that other people’s match times are gonna cut down. And like I said, once or twice, we get it; I don’t understand the point three or four times.”
