Recoiling in shock and horror at what had happened, Seth Rollins couldn't believe the state of John Cena's face on the July 27, 2015 edition of Monday Night Raw. A clumsy knee had completely decimated Cena's nose, gruesomely leaving him in need of rapid surgery to correct the break.

Speaking about the incident to Talk Is Jericho, Rollins brought up comments made by Bret Hart. Hurt by the legend's words, Seth said he was surprised to learn that Hart had bashed his level of safeness as a worker. Adding a rebuttal on his own podcast with WrestleZone, Bret took things a step further.

On an episode of Bret Hart Radio this week, the Canadian icon said he feels it's lucky that Rollins didn't kill Cena with the strike. Saying it's not Cena's fault, Bret laid blame squarely at the feet (or knee) of Seth Rollins. It's likely those comments will once again leave Rollins dejected.

Hart also didn't appear phased by the idea of hurting Seth's feelings, saying that it's better to be hurt that way than physically having your face broken.
