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.


Update from the WON newsletter:

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.

Source: Wrestling Observer Radio

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 can't believe this fucking shit. I feel terrible for Rollins, he did not deserve this.

The funny thing is, in kayfabe HHH was correct in not trusting Rollins as his top guy anymore.

As soon as I starting like Seth Rollins again he gets injured.

My gut is telling me this is a work in all honesty. Why else would they show him hobbling out on crutches on the WWE's YouTube channel.

Dude, it's not a work. It's the real deal. You clearly can see Seth's knee twisting in a awkward way when Joe took him down for the Coquina Clutch.

Joe was carelees when he applied the hold.
Read this.. Thank you.

What a bunch of GEEKS the lot of you are turning to be about this. Are we actually blaming WWE and Joe for Rollins's injury in which it was an ACCIDENT? I give WWE a lot of deserved shit these days but this isn't one of them. How were they to know Rollins would have been injured in this fashion. What if Rollins had been injured at Fastlane against Joe a month before Mania against HHH?

Exactly, sit the fuck down with this blame game. Accidents happen. Shit happens. Deal with it.

I know it wouldn't happen, but if Seth can't go for Mania, I would love it if they moved Dean to Raw and put him in Seth's place. It obviously won't happen but I need something to cling onto, lol.

The thing with Ambrose's character is that you could get away with him invading Raw and not giving a shit about the brand split if you wanted him to feud with Joe/Trips. It could just be passed off as "Oh, he's crazy, so of course he's ignoring the rules". It might actually make it more tense, because you'd never know if Joe would invade Smackdown in turn and get back at Ambrose.

It could work quite well.

Hope it's nothing serious... it's only February and Mania looks doomed
Yet, they possess the ability to actually make it really damn good... but simply won't.

re: Rollins Injured His Knee Again: May Be Out 8 Weeks. Mania Is Not Certain

The spot didn't seem worked out well. My theory is that they planned for Joe to take him down, Joe went for a shoot take down while Rollins was expecting Joe to let him know it was coming, and Rollins 'tried to get out of the hold' at an ill-advised moment.

As a big Joe mark, I have to admit that this reflects poorly on him, even if it was just a miscommunication. At the very least it raises questions about how rough his style can be.

The one match I was actually looking forward to. I was hoping it'd go down a similar built route to Orton, HHH. FUCK!

Hoping for the best news possible for Rollins. Whether it was his fault or not, it doesn't reflect well on Joe

Re: WON: Rollins currently expected to miss 8 weeks; WM a possibility but not definite

Hopefully he's healthy enough to go through with the match, but realistically one has to wonder just how fragile he'll be now, especially that leg considering it's the same knee which has the damage.

I really don't want him to rush it back, even if it means he misses Mania, because his entire career is worth more than one Mania appearance.

Can we just take a moment and thank the wrestling Gods WWE isn't blaming Samoa Joe for this? They could easily bury the fuck out of my boy and have him job to Jinder Mahal, but instead they might bless him with a Triple H match. Ain't God good? It does suck for Rollins though, as his program with Trips was just starting to heat up.

If Rollins can't wrestle at WM, I wouldn't mind seeing him do a run-in and cost HHH his match against, say, Shane O'Mac.

Maybe a year-long build to Rollins/HHH at WM 34 wouldn't be the bad if it's done in the vain of Austin/McMahon. Also gives Joe instant credibility by taking out Seth and leaving things open for a big match later this year.

I was thinking this, I'd love a Seth appearance at Mania even if he can't wrestle, especially if it came at Trips' expense. It would get him on the show and he'd probably get a gigantic pop.

Unless they don't want to do that and will want his return as a surprise, lol.

My vote is always to heal and rehab. Working with a small injury is how big injuries happen.

re: Rollins Injured His Knee Again: May Be Out 8 Weeks. Mania Is Not Certain

It's gotta be a work. A brilliant angle done to garner sympathy for Seth, put heat on Joe and HHH, and then when Seth comes out on TV while Hunter is all cocky in the ring, he throws the crutches down and then puts a beating on him to a massive pop.

Plus the tweeting about it throws off signals, at least in my view. If I'm Seth and I just re-aggravated a knee injury that prevented me from performing at Mania last year, in front of the biggest crowd on record, and then the same knee might prevent me from being at ANOTHER Mania, I really don't think I'd find the time to tweet about it. I'd be too pissed off about the whole situation, and I'd probably just throw my phone against the wall rather than snap a photo.

It's gotta be a work.

Please.

LET IT BE A WORK, DAMMIT!!!

It's not a work, people have analyzed the footage over and over again and you can hear Joe say something to Seth (people have said it's "are you ok", but I can't make it out) and Seth says "I hope so". Plus, you can tell that he's hurt when he goes down for the choke.

Besides which, if it was a work, Joe would've gone after his knee. You don't work a knee injury by throwing him into the barricade back first and putting him in a choke.

Shame he'll most likely miss Mania again, but I'm relieved to hear he won't be out long term. Was worried he'd be out for 6 months or longer.

Re: Rollins Injured His Knee Again: May Be Out 8 Weeks. Mania Is Not Certain

Have Joe attack Cena at The Chamber and say he doesn't work for HHH, he simply wants to make an impact by taking out the the main men and make a name for himself. He can say Cena's everything he despises about wrestling etc. etc.

Joe/Cena at Mania where Joe goes over, gets drafted to RAW and goes into a feud with a returning Rollins, who HHH can face at Summerslam in the headliner.

Alternatively; Angle/Joe, Angle/Joe/Styles, Styles/Joe/Cena. The possibilities are endless.

This is good for Samoa Joe because he doesn't have to worry about immediately losing to Rollins at Fastlane. They should keep Rollins off TV until Fastlane. Put Joe in a match at Fastlane, let him win, then Rollins attacks him with a chair after the match. To keep him off TV after that they could "suspend him" for a couple weeks until he's ready to get physical again.
