Seth Rollins injured his knee during his match against LA Knight at WWE’s Saturday Night’s Main Event in Atlanta. The injury occurred after Rollins attempted a moonsault. He seemed to favor his knee and retreated to a corner of the ring to get checked by officials. Despite the injury, Rollins stood up, but Knight quickly finished the match, winning with a move called the BFT.
Recent updates suggest that Rollins’ injury might be serious. Bryan Alvarez from Wrestling Observer Radio mentioned that the match’s outcome forced WWE to change the last 40 minutes of the show. There’s a storyline angle where Rollins has until next June to cash in his Money in the Bank briefcase, leaving room for a potential comeback even after surgery.
However, there are mixed signals regarding the injury’s legitimacy. Dave Meltzer reported that someone he trusts said there were doubts about the injury being real. Fans are left uncertain about its true nature.
Footage from the event shows WWE officials assisting Rollins backstage after the match, indicating his condition may be worse than initially thought. The wrestling community is buzzing about the incident, reflecting on how injuries can suddenly alter storylines and fan expectations.
Interestingly, Rollins recently garnered attention for winning the Money in the Bank briefcase for the second time, raising questions about his future in WWE, especially concerning possible plans for Roman Reigns’ return.
As of now, WWE has not provided an official update on Rollins’ status ahead of Monday’s Raw.
