Seth Rollins

The Wrestling Observer Newsletter is reporting Seth Rollins is believed to have torn his MCL in his right knee. The injury is believed to have occured when Samoa Joe took Rollins down to apply the Coquina Clutch; this is the same knee he had reconstructive surgery on in 2015. Early reports speculate Rollins will be sidelined this time for about eight weeks, which is close to Wrestlemania 33, but does not completely rule him out at this time.

As noted earlier, WWE officials reportedly met today to discuss the fallout from Rollins’ injury, and went over plans for Wrestlemania 33 in the event that Rollins is not cleared to return.
