13 Things We Learned From Seth Rollins On Talk Is Jericho

Jericho asks if getting hurt changed his perspective in any way and Rollins agrees that it did. Prior to the injury he had always assumed he was invincible and was lucky enough to be one of the rare few wrestlers who had been able to work a lengthy career without any other than a few dents and dings.

Seth was confident the training regimen that he undergoes would continue to play a large role in why he wasn’t suffering any serious ailments and had even grown a bit arrogant about it. Despite all that, the injury occurred on a nightly routine move that he’s performed hundreds of times, which Jericho asks him to describe.

WWE was working the first night of a European tour in Dublin, Ireland where Seth was defending his title against Kane in a No DQ match. He went up for a sunset powerbomb on his much larger opponent and for whatever reason just came down wrong, landing on the instep of his right foot. He says that everyone listening has probably seen the footage – which Jericho called “ugly” – and initially thought he was okay.

He went ahead and finished the match and had planned to work the remainder of the tour but just take it a little easy, but the next day the crew arrived in Cardiff and they sent him in for an MRI, which revealed tears in his ACL, MCL and meniscus, which is the trifecta of serious knee injuries.
