10 Most Depressing Injuries In WWE History

7. Seth Rollins (Torn ACL/MCL)

The most recent addition to this list, Seth Rollins only suffered his serious knee injury during the latest WWE World Tour. Competing in Dublin, Ireland, Rollins completely blew out his knee. Unable to finish the match as planned, he looked totally dejected as medical staff and other WWE officials attempted to check on him. It had dawned on Rollins the gravity of the situation. As the reigning WWE World Heavyweight Champion, Seth had been set to defend the belt against Roman Reigns at Survivor Series. Due to his injury, that was impossible, and the title was subsequently stripped from him shortly after the Dublin show. It's estimated that Rollins will miss between 6-9 months of action, which effectively rules him out of WrestleMania. Tearing his MCL, ACL and Meniscus, Seth Rollins did himself a lot of damage. The injury has been said to be fairly innocuous, just something that can happen inside the ring. This shows the danger that professional wrestlers face on a daily basis, even the slightest wrong movement can cause incredible trouble for their body. As Champion, Rollins was on a roll, so it's upsetting to think that he wasn't able to continue as champion.
