Seth Rollins’ right knee was re-injured during Samoa Joe’s ambush at the conclusion of this Monday’s Raw, WWE.com can now confirm. The attack occurred as Rollins was heading to the ring to finally confront Triple H, who cost The Architect a WWE Universal Championship opportunity back in August.
WWE.com cameras captured footage of Rollins leaving the Laredo Energy Arena in Laredo, Texas, Monday night, but no specific details on the former WWE Champion’s condition have been revealed. Rollins is set to be evaluated later this week.
Rollins was getting an evaluation on the knee on 2/1 in Birmingham and the early word was that he’d be out about eight weeks, meaning that Mania was possible but not definite. Obviously he’ll want to do it under any circumstances when it’s that close of a call but WWE these days, for legal reasons, is far more cautious about throwing talent back into the ring before they are ready than has been the case historically.

WWE didn't really give fans any new details on Rollins' injury, and did note that his participation at WrestleMania was "in serious doubt". Dave Meltzer is reporting on the latest episode of Wrestling Observer Radio that WWE officials are going to go ahead and proceed with the idea that Rollins will be able to make the show and face Triple H, as originally planned out.
"Seth is considered good for WrestleMania," Meltzer said. "So Triple H vs. Seth is on, and that's what they're working towards."

I'm not a big Rollins fan but this is fucking terrible, I feel so bad for him. And this sucks for Joe as well, what a way to debut, ruining an angle that's been going on for months and it was finally about to deliver.
What? This is better for Joe, the guy looks legit as fuck now he even tweeted the fake/not fake injury. He is an absolute beast from day one and they should go with the flow and let him demolish everyone.

My goodness. Please be a work. My heart isn't able...
For what its worth, the incident displayed in the video doesn't look to be major. I understand that it likely takes less to reinjure the knee, but the impact didn't seem significant.
re: Rollins Injured His Knee Again: May Be Out 8 Weeks. Mania Is Not Certain
The injury is legit, there's really no disputing that now with all the confirmation.
Just have to hope it's just a tweak or anything that will only cause him to miss a few weeks. There is still 2 months to Mania. As bad timing as this is, they still do have some time.

People still moaning about Joe injuring Kidd? It was ONE FREAK ACCIDENT in a career of 15 plus YEARS with no other injury can this "Always injuring people" thing just get put to rest please.
re: Rollins Injured His Knee Again: May Be Out 8 Weeks. Mania Is Not Certain
First off, if you wish injury on anyone (whether it'd be Seth, Roman, Joe, etc.) you're a sad, sad human being.
Also, can we stop with this "Joe's an unsafe worker" shit, please? The man has been wrestling for 15+ years, & has only been involved in the injuries of two wrestlers. Accidents happen, mistakes are made. Acting as if Joe's this unsafe worker now is just lunacy.

This, plus people seem to be conveniently forgetting that Rollins shredded his own knee pretty much by himself the last time. Ironically people were calling for his head at that time.
Shame for him if it's serious. It's gotta be killing him to be looking at another extended down time.
As for hat fartnugget who was glad he might be injured (who unfortunately seems to have been DELETED), karma, dude. It's a bitch.
re: Rollins Injured His Knee Again: May Be Out 8 Weeks. Mania Is Not Certain
Man this really is depressing, considering we saw just how missing Mania 32 hurt him, missing this one after working so hard to get back and being so close is gonna really destroy him. If you're happy about this then I don't know what to say, I wouldn't be happy if any wrestler got injured especially while trying to entertain you, I mean fair enough you don't need to like every wrestler but to be happy that they're injured is just low. Now I don't know if this is a work and I don't know how long he'll be out for (if he's out) but I don't blame Joe for this or even tweeting about it, accidents happen and I'm sure Seth is fine with Joe using it to get heat.
re: Rollins Injured His Knee Again: May Be Out 8 Weeks. Mania Is Not Certain
Wow man, right when the storyline was starting to get hot, this shit happens. Unbelievable. I honestly don't think it's a work, has to be legitimate imo. Just hope Seth's knee injury isn't severe one and can return by WM33.
re: Rollins Injured His Knee Again: May Be Out 8 Weeks. Mania Is Not Certain
Joe marks will get on my back here (I've always liked Joe btw) but it was mostly his fault, dropped all his weight on Rollins knee joint when he tried to drop down to the mat however Rollins did turn slightly at the same time which didnt help.
It could all be a master work its not like its never happened before, Meltzer has fell for WWEs works before too
re: Rollins Injured His Knee Again: May Be Out 8 Weeks. Mania Is Not Certain
Sucks that he's gotten injured. Hopefully they don't blame Joe.
Hopefully they reshuffle Dean Ambrose into this spot now that Triple H needs somebody to work with and he's without a match. I wouldn't be surprised though if they just fast track Nakamura onto the main roster, either, though. Something has got to be done in short order.
re: Rollins Injured His Knee Again: May Be Out 8 Weeks. Mania Is Not Certain
Seth didn't get hurt while doing a high-flying move. He got hurt while someone had him in a sleeper type hold and pulled him to the ground with alot of force. That's 2 for Joe.

You would think Seth Rollins fans of all people would hold off on trying to blame someone for injuries, seeing as they defended him so hard after he damn near ended 3 guys careers.
But all over the internet the same people who defended Rollins like their life depended on it are now throwing Joe under the bus, trying to blame him for this shit.
Its like logic goes out of the window for some people when their heros are involved.
re: Rollins Injured His Knee Again: May Be Out 8 Weeks. Mania Is Not Certain
I'm amazed by how today's generation of fan (mostly the ones in their early 20s) literally think every single thing, includuing serious injures, is a work. Amazed.

To be fair WWE have a track record of making fake injuries seem real its not fans fault when the lines are blurred between fantasy and reality. I wouldn't put it past WWE to do this to add more "realism" to an angle.
re: Rollins Injured His Knee Again: May Be Out 8 Weeks. Mania Is Not Certain
Speaking optimistically, if the injury is minor (which I doubt) and it only keeps him out for a month or two, it could work out well from a story perspective.
It would give Joe and Seth a storyline after the match with Triple H, and by that time both guys wouldn't need to be as protected as they would have had to have been at Fastlane.
It gives Triple H instant heel heat. Last Monday on Raw, Triple H got arguably the loudest pop of the night, despite being a heel. This wouldn't have bode well for the storyline going forward. Now that Triple H can claim "I took Rollins out", it turns things completely on their head. Now Triple H is the bastard that took out a fan favorite, and Seth gets to return to a heroes welcome at some point down the line.
Unfortunately, I'm probably being way too optimistic
Get well soon, Sethy-poo.
