Seth Rollins Breaks Silence On Knee Injury

Things aren’t looking good for Seth Rollins.

At Saturday Night’s Main Event, LA Knight finally got his one-on-one match with Seth Rollins. Knight has repeatedly clashed with Rollins and his faction on Raw in recent weeks and has found himself on the wrong side of Bronson Reed and Bron Breakker on more than one occasion.

However, the match ended in somewhat strange circumstances after Rollins landed awkwardly following a flip off the middle rope. He immediately grabbed his knee, and Knight hit the BFT to claim the win.

After the match, Rollins was helped backstage, and it’s since been reported that the injury is indeed genuine.

Seth Rollins Shares Injury Details

While appearing as the guest host on the Rich Eisen Show, Rollins shared some new details about his injury. He revealed that his knee was swollen to get a proper diagnosis on July 14, and there are plans to wait for more scans in a couple of weeks.

He also admitted that it’s likely he’ll be out for an “extended period” of time.

“I was in a match with LA Knight, and I hurt my knee. I was doing a move I do all the time, a moonsault, and I landed on my feet. When I landed, I felt my knee kind of pop and buckle. We got out of the match and move forward.

Monday, I was in Birmingham, Alabama, where our specialist is. We tried to take a look at the knee. There was some imaging; it was a little too swollen, so we’re going to take another look, hopefully in a week or two here in LA. Try to get some sort of firm diagnosis, and we can go from there.

I am not a doctor, I only know my body and what I feel. What I feel is that this is going to be me out for an extended period of time. This isn’t the first time I’ve been injured; it won’t be the last time. I’ve always got WrestleMania in the back of my mind. Can I make it back for WrestleMania season? I feel good about that.

Beyond a firm timeline, I just won’t know until we receive a clearer answer from the MRI. That’s where it’s at,”

Following Saturday Night’s Main Event, it was reported that Seth Rollins had been scheduled to beat LA Knight, but the match finish was changed on the fly as a result of his injury.
