However, recent reports from WRKD Wrestling, WWE is in great “hesitancy” to put the new World Heavyweight Championship around Seth Rollins’ waist because he recently signed a new deal with Marvel Studios over the upcoming Captain America New World Order movie. WRKD Wrestling reported;
Clarifying a prior report: we’d said that there was "hesitancy" to put the new title on Seth Rollins, due to his role in the new Captain America film.
However, its been made clear this isn’t an immediate fear, but for the future, should he & Becky Lynch further pursue Hollywood pic.twitter.com/W1T5Ji6ci1

There are real confusions over the upcoming dates of “The Visionary.” This is a big reason of worry for WWE before giving him the World title. Right now there are in no condition in affording another part time World Champion. But that should not be a problem since Seth Rollins can drop the title to other wrestlers unlike Roman Reigns. Odds are still in favour of the former four times World Champion.
