It's now official that Seth Rollins vs. CM Punk has been iced for WrestleMania XL. Punk's triceps injury wrecked WWE's night one headliner, but there's another question keeping company chiefs up at night: Will Seth even be able to work a proper match on the show himself?

He'll assume a speaking role and little else on TV over the next few months, but his fate remains in the hands of doctors. There's always gonna be a niggling concern that docs won't clear Rollins come crunch time, which would mean no World Title match at all in Philadelphia.

Unless Triple H strips him of the belt, that is.

What a brutal thought, eh? WWE might have to face up to the idea of losing both champion and challenger before reaching April's weekender. Right now, the best case scenario is that Seth can work a match and defend the belt against somebody, but that isn't nailed on.
