With Seth Rollins seemingly out of action due to injury, there will need to be a replacement installed at WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event on November 1 in Salt Lake City.
With reports suggesting that Rollins would have defended his World Heavyweight Championship against CM Punk at the event, it seems and if WWE will need a replacement for The Visionary.
Here are six potential replacements for Seth Rollins at WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event for his match with CM Punk.
6. Bron Breakker
Since it seems as though Bron Breakker may be waging a hostile takeover of The Vision faction as its new leader, perhaps he will take over as WWE World Heavyweight Champion as well, as he seemingly teased by holding Rollins’ title aloft on last week’s Raw.
Potentially pivoting the storyline to see Breakker take over the leadership role within the faction, it could be Bron Breakker who faces off against CM Punk at Saturday Night’s Main Event.
With the result of the bout able to go either way, it will be fascinating to see whether WWE goes all in on Breakker as a world champion at just 27 years old, or go with the veteran CM Punk.
Since there are sure to be plenty of tricks up the sleeve of The Vision stable, it would seem that Breakker could have a good shot of fending off Punk and ascending to the very top of the company.

5. Aleister Black
One potential replacement for Seth Rollins at Saturday Night’s Main Event could come from an entirely different brand, that being SmackDown’s Aleister Black.
Although there could definitely still be some bad blood between Black and his recent rival Damian Priest — the opportunity to switch brands and chase the WWE World Heavyweight Championship could be too good to pass up.
With Aleister Black able to step up to challenge CM Punk for the future of the title after Rollins’ injury, there could be a fun feud that comes about in the process.
Able to incorporate both Zelina Vega and AJ Lee into their on-going rivalry, it could be that Aleister Black is a perfect replacement for Seth Rollins — whether or not he actually joins The Vision faction.

4. LA Knight
WWE Raw GM Adam Pearce noted on social media that there would be an announcement regarding Seth Rollins as well as an appearance from The Vision faction on the October 16 edition of the show.
Despite the status of Seth Rollins still pending — fans already know who was set to face off against Rollins next following the main event that closed WWE Raw last week.
CM Punk was able to win out in a three-way that also featured Jey Uso and LA Knight to earn the opportunity to face Rollins, presumably at Saturday Night’s Main Event.
In lieu of having yet another three-way, it could be that Punk ends up facing off against LA Knight for the title instead if the Championship ends up vacated.

3. Brock Lesnar
While Paul Heyman initially reacting with surprise when Bron Breakker turned on Seth Rollins, by the end of the segment he had convincingly aligned with Breakker and Bronson Reed.
As the new trio stood over Seth Rollins in the ring, longtime WWE fans would know that Paul Heyman would be immediately plotting his next move.
Possibly recruiting Brock Lesnar to come into the group in replacement of Rollins, Heyman could look to regain some semblance of control over the faction.
Installing Lesnar in The Vision, Heyman could continue to be the mastermind of the group even with Rollins out of action — setting up a marquee match between Brock Lesnar & CM Punk for Saturday Night’s Main Event.

2. Jey Uso
Jey Uso has seen quite the change in character in recent weeks, showing heel-like behaviors that could one day lead to the former World Heavyweight Champion embarking on his own attempt at reclaiming The Bloodline’s dominance over WWE.
Potentially looking to re-establish himself on his own after facing rejection from Roman Reigns at Crown Jewel 2025, Uso could take his dedication to selfishness up a notch.
Since Reigns told Jimmy and Jey Uso that he didn’t want to see them “until Christmas”, it could be the perfect time for Jey Uso to prove himself with a big victory.
Possibly using questionable means to beat CM Punk to win at Saturday Night’s Main Event or even outright cheating — a dark Jey Uso could be an intriguing pivot.

1. Bronson Reed
While it seems as though a logical choice for the new leader of The Vision is Bron Breakker, perhaps it will actually be Bronson Reed.
With Reed having already proven himself more than once against Roman Reigns, it could be Reed that steps in for Rollins.
Moving forward with CM Punk’s challenge for the title, Reed could rack up another huge win over one of WWE’s biggest stars by laying waste to the “Best in the World” on November 1.
Setting up an interesting future fracas between the Brons if it were Bronson Reed who were appointed as Rollins’ replacement by Heyman — there could be a big implosion coming within The Vision after Saturday Night’s Main Event.
