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."

On WWE.com. Apparently he left RAW on crutches.

Could be a complete work to sell the Samoa Joe beat down, but I dont know. If it is a work, why are they only talking about it now, and why didnt they mention it after RAW? Then again if its real, why would they record him leaving on crutches?

Interesting to see how this plays out. Hopefully its just kayfabe.

I don't think it's a work because Joe wasn't targeting the knee.

This is certainly a work. We can see it from the way they described it.

I fear this may be real...



Look at around the 3:24 mark, Rollins groans as if in pain when Joe goes for the submission move and Joe asks Rollins if he is ok. His leg is in a weird position when he goes into the ground too.

Yeah, his leg was fine up till that point, but watching it again in slo-mo you can see it twists at an awkward angle..


I'm sure Brett Hart will confirm it's all Joe's Seth's fault later.. >:)

Sounds like a work.

If it's a work though, why kayfabe a knee when he was being chucked into the barriers and taking ugly bumps - why not say it's a shoulder or back or something. His leg/knee was never targeted by Joe.
Doesn't he have a history of leg/knee problems? Specifically, didn't he drop the belt in 2015 because of his knee?

That's why WWE keeps pushing Orton & Cena over and over again. The new stars are fragile as f*ck.
Those two guys have at least an injury or two every year man.

So who will face Hunter IF Rollins injury is really bad (and not kayfabe)? Or will he decide to take the night off?
