WWE Roster Upset At Being Lied To Over Seth Rollins' Worked Injury (WWE News)
Seth Rollins' worked WWE injury has left an "unhealthy flavour" in WWE personnel's mouths.
The extent to which WWE worked its own employees over Seth Rollins' recent "injury" has upset some people within the company.
PWInsider's Mike Johnson has reported as much, stating:
"Obviously WWE can lie to anybody they want. They certainly lie to a lot of people. It would appear during the Seth Rollins situation, much of which has left a very unhealthy flavour in the mouths of a lot of people who work behind the scenes for the company, as well as talents who are in-ring performers."
Rollins appeared to be hurt during a match with LA Knight on Saturday Night's Main Event last month (12 July). Seemingly tweaking his knee before the final bell, Seth was tended to by the referee but ultimately finished the contest, losing as a result of the injury.
POST Wrestling's John Pollock reported soon after that he had been told to expect an injury angle in the Saturday Night's Main Event match ahead of time. This, along with additional reporting from Dave Meltzer, cast doubt on the injury's legitimacy.
Rollins was photographed walking with crutches and wearing a knee brace soon after SNME. Fightful reported that Seth was backstage at the Evolution PLE on those crutches, with WWE keeping the situation close to the vest.
At SummerSlam 2025, Rollins revealed the injury to be a ruse, casting his crutches aside and removing a knee brace before successfully cashing in his Money in the Bank contract on then-World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk.
