Seth Rollins knee injury situation just got a whole lot more complicated.
According to Fightful Select, Rollins was originally scheduled to win his match against LA Knight at Saturday Nights Main Event. But something changed in real timefast. The match reportedly ended earlier than planned, and staff backstage were under the impression that Rollins was set to win. That sudden pivot led many to believe an audible had been called due to a legitimate injury.
Whats even more telling? Multiple people who are typically in the know treated the situation as legit and were said to be visibly concerned. The following night at Evolution, Rollins was spotted on crutchesonly adding fuel to the speculation that his injury might be real.
Theres still no definitive timeline for how long Rollins could be out. While everyone agrees hes dealing with some sort of injury, details remain scarce. According to Rollins himself, speaking on the Rich Eisen Show, he hasnt even had an MRI yet:
He confirmed hes waiting for the swelling to go down before getting scanned. Behind the scenes, theres also skepticism brewing about the severityor realityof the injury. One producer reportedly called the situation a possible Machiavelli situation when referencing Sean Ross Sapps report, suggesting there might be a deeper strategy at play.
Whether this is a carefully guarded work or a legit medical setback remains unclear. Either way, Seth Rollins has managed to blur the line between storyline and reality better than anyone.
