What's REALLY Going On With Seth Rollins' Latest "Injury"? (WWE News)
The latest on possible Seth Rollins injury.
With Seth Rollins being attacked by his Vision stablemates on this week's Raw, that's led to plenty of speculation on whether WWE's Visionary may be dealing with an injury.
Per Fightful Select, it does indeed appear that Rollins suffered an injury in his WWE Crown Jewel match against Cody Rhodes.
For those who watched that match, there was a particular moment when Seth looked to have damaged his shoulder when landing from his coast-to-coast headbutt to Rhodes. While it's not outright confirmed that this spot was where Rollins got hurt, that's widely suspected to be the case, and this injury is being treated as a legitimate one internally.
Of course, this comes not too far removed from Seth Rollins suffering an "injury" at Saturday Night's Main Event back in July. In that instance, the injury was ultimately a ruse that led to Seth cashing in his Money in the Bank briefcase at SummerSlam to take the World Heavyweight Championship from CM Punk. As such, some fans may be tempted to take any new Rollins injury news with a pinch of salt, but, unfortunately, this injury is reportedly a very real one.
This Fightful report notes how the details around Seth's injury are "very speculative in nature" right now, with specifics being kept quiet. One WWE source told the outlet that an arm break would be better than any sort of shoulder injury, as an arm break could realistically have Rollins back in action by December. That said, it's seen as unlikely that the company could avoid a "drastic change" should this be a serious shoulder injury.
Seth Rollins has received heavy praise from those within WWE for not only finishing his Crown Jewel match, but for also remaining in Australia, working Raw, doing a show-opening promo, a backstage segment, and the physical finale of Raw where he was laid out by a Bron Breakker Spear and then hit with Bronson Reed's Tsunami Splash. Given how Rollins was medically cleared for that Vision attack segment, there's hope backstage that Seth's injury might not be as bad as feared.
It was hinted to Fightful that the events of Raw were a "heavy creative pivot", with a source noting how they'd heard that Bron Breakker splitting from the Vision was something loosely planned for some point next year.
As for Seth Rollins, he's expected to undergo further medical tests this week.
