Surprising Details Revealed About Seth Rollins’ Injury
Seth Rollins’ injury at Saturday Night’s Main Event sparked concern across the WWE Universe.
During his match against LA Knight, The Visionary appeared to suffer a serious knee injury, leading to speculation that he could be sidelined for several months.
However, new reports indicate the situation may not be as dire as originally feared.
Seth Rollins’ Injury May Be Less Serious Than Believed
According to Bryan Alvarez on Wrestling Observer Live, Seth Rollins does indeed have a knee injury, but it’s reportedly minor. WWE cleverly worked the injury into the storyline during the match, and while the company is presenting it as a long-term setback, the reality is far less dramatic.
“Seth Rollins 100% has a minor knee injury. They worked the knee injury on Saturday Night’s Main Event. He’s getting the minor knee injury taken care of, they’re gonna lead you to believe he’s gonna be out nine months, and he’s gonna make a surprise return, maybe not as early as SummerSlam but significantly ahead of schedule,” Alvarez said.
WWE’s presentation of the injury as a major setback appears to be part of a larger storyline. Alvarez explained that the way the company framed the segment and how quickly the injury narrative was developed strongly suggests that this is more of an angle than a legitimate long-term injury.
If Rollins had suffered something as severe as an ACL tear, it’s unlikely the company would have had detailed plans in place by Monday.
“The way they did the segment was like, if he was legitimately injured on Saturday night and tore his ACL and everything else they’re hinting that he did, I mean, they wouldn’t have no information by Monday. Paul isn’t keeping it a secret and making it come across as a total angle. He’s mildly hurt and will be back somewhat soon,” Alvarez added. [H/T Ringside News]
While WWE continues to lean into the drama of Seth Rollins’ injury on-screen, behind the curtain, it appears the situation may not be as alarming as it seems.
