UPDATE (17 Jan - 7:45 AM GMT): Adding to Keller's report, Wrestling Observer Radio's Dave Meltzer states Rollins was spotted walking on his injured knee backstage. The World Heavyweight Champion is to undergo an MRI to determine the injury's severity. Fightful Select confirmed the initial report, adding that more should be known later today (Wednesday).

PWTorch chief Wade Keller is reporting that Seth Rollins had trouble putting weight on one of his legs following Monday's main event match vs. Jinder Mahal on Raw.

According to the Torch, the reigning World Heavyweight Champion had to be helped backstage at the end of the show, and could be seen limping by fans. It's unclear exactly when the injury actually occurred, but there's a chance it came when Rollins performed a dive spot to the outside on Jinder.

Fans spotted the champ favouring his leg after that.

There's no word yet on whether or not this injury will force Seth to miss any time. He isn't locked into a title bout at WWE's upcoming Royal Rumble 2024 PLE, but most would've expected Rollins to do something on that show. This is spitballing, but he might've walked out to confront CM Punk should his enemy win the men's Rumble on the night.

Nobody knows for sure whether this leg injury would change WWE plans on something like that. Stay tuned for more news on Seth's leg woes when it breaks.

Fingers crossed he's alright and makes a speedy recovery.
