The period between 2015-16 was rough for Seth Rollins. Not only did he go down with a serious knee-injury that kept him out of WrestleMania 32 and ended his long WWE Title run, Seth was also involved in injuries to John Cena (a horrific broken nose) and Finn Bálor (torn labrum).

As if that wasn't enough, Rollins' buckle bomb on Sting at Night Of Champions 2015 ended the WCW icon's in-ring career for good, and it was that succession of injuries which prompted Bret Hart to say Seth was an unsafe worker who had to change things before "someone gets killed".

Ouch.

This week, Rollins told GiveMeSport how the WWE locker room rallied around him after hearing Hart's controversial comments. Instead of getting angry at the legend for questioning one of their own though, the roster laughed off his words and didn't take them seriously.

That news won't please Bret. He made sure to say he had a lot of respect for Seth, but felt he was taking physical liberties and needed to show more care.
