According to the Self Made Sessions podcast, Seth Rollins is currently planned to emerge victorious in the 2026 King of the Ring tournament. Sources indicate that while several plans for SummerSlam remain fluid, The Visionary is going to win the final in Saudi Arabia, which will set up a blockbuster main event against World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns, reigniting one of WWE’s most intense rivalries and delivering another high-profile summer clash.
“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.” – Self Made Sessions
As a six-time world champion and two-time Grand Slam and Triple Crown winner, Seth Rollins has already achieved nearly everything possible in WWE. His resume also includes a 2019 Royal Rumble victory and two Money in the Bank wins. Therefore, a King of the Ring triumph would further cement his legacy as one of the greatest of his generation and place him in an elite group alongside Edge, Sheamus, and Brock Lesnar, who are the only three wrestlers in WWE history to have won all three.
