Seth Rollins may be injured, but the real damage might be happening behind the scenes where trust in WWEs creative communication is reportedly falling apart.
Rollins appeared on RAW with his arm in a sling following his Crown Jewel match against Cody Rhodes. While WWE hasnt confirmed the injury, the sudden storyline twist involving Paul Heyman, Bronson Reed, and Bron Breakker attacking Rollins has raised serious questions internally. Was this a response to a real injury, or just another swerve?
According to Dave Meltzer, sources inside WWE arent sure what to believe and thats a growing problem. Some in creative were told the injury occurred at Crown Jewel. But after previously being worked on similar injury storylines, several team members are now skeptical of anything theyre being told.
That mistrust reportedly stems from past situations, such as Rollins Saturday Nights Main Event injury earlier this year. It was framed as legitimate but turned out to be part of the storyline, leaving many staffers frustrated.
One source noted that The Vision the faction Rollins led with Heyman, Reed, and Breakker was actually set to remain intact through WrestleMania, with plans to even add Austin Theory.
Now, that long-term storyline may be scrapped, or at the very least altered significantly. As WWE blurs the lines between reality and fiction even for its own employees, the fallout could go far beyond one injury angle.
Do you think WWE is creating unnecessary confusion backstage by working its own team? Should they draw a line between storyline and real communication? Tell us how you feel in the comments.
