WWE Expect Seth Rollins To Be Ready For WrestleMania 33
The Architect should be rebuilt just in time.
While last night on Raw WWE played up that Seth Rollins' involvement at WrestleMania was in serious jeopardy, apparently that's not believed to be the case backstage.
According to Dave Meltzer on the latest episode of Wrestling Observer Radio, Rollins is "Considered good for WrestleMania."
That's an interesting turn in development, as it was originally suspected he might be out of action for up to four months. The company apparently believes he'll be healed up in time (perhaps with the assistance of a knee brace), so over the next few weeks they will probably give the feud a lot more hype than they did last night.
This is great news for Rollins, as missing out on Mania two years in a row would be a huge blow. Not only is it the highest payday of the year, but it's the most iconic show in the history of the business. It could also have cemented him with a reputation of being hurt easily, which may have prevented the company from building around him in top angles in the future.
There's no word yet as to when he'll be ready to return to action, so we may not get a Samoa Joe vs. Rollins match before WrestleMania like it originally appeared. Still, it looks like the Hunter match is on, so we should at least get some sort of payoff on that big angle.
