Seth Rollins suffered a legitimate injury to his left leg late in his Raw main event win against Jinder Mahal. Multiple PWTorch sources backstage at Raw say that he was helped in the back and eventually put weight on it. He is walking on his own, but with a definite limp. He will be further evaluated to determine the severity of the injury. Seth looked worried as Raw ended and stood on one leg as the ref presented him with the WWE World Hvt. Title belt to end the show. It wasn’t clear where the injury happened, but he began favoring it after a dive to ringside. He executed several more moves including a Pedigree and a Stomp at the end of the match. He might’ve done more damage by continuing to wrestle past the initial injury, but it’s a good sign he felt he could continue after the initial tweak or injury. Multiple sources described Seth as neither overtly pessimistic nor optimistic about the severity of the injury. He was said to be bummed, but also had a pretty positive attitude considering the situation. If Seth misses extended ring time, it will dramatically change WrestleMania plans. His presumed opponent for WrestleMania is C.M. Punk, who would need a new opponent, and the WWE World Hvt. Championship would likely be stripped of Seth with a new champion crowned before WrestleMania. www.pwtorch.com/site/2024/01/15/seth-rollins-legitimately-injured-late-in-raw-main-event-against-jinder-mahal-backstage-update/

Hopefully it’s nothing serious as I’ve enjoyed the build to Rollins vs Punk so far. If he does need to relinquish the title I guess Elimination Chamber would give the ideal opportunity to crown a new champ.

Dave said he's getting an MRI this week to find out the severity of the injury.

Hoping it isn't serious
It's be really snakebit if Punk's first big feud back had this big of a setback, but even more so Seth has been trying to carry what is basically a consolation prize belt to relevance by putting out as many bangers as he can and this would be a terrible way for things to go
I guess we'll know how serious it is because I assume if he has to miss Mania, the title's gonna be put up at EC in the Chamber.

Should have called an audible and had Jinder win then Priest cash in I don't think you call an audible with your night 1 WrestleMania main eventer without knowing the severity of the injury. They did the right thing in the context of what they have planned. I have thought there were a time or two where maybe Seth could have dropped the belt and freshened himself up a bit but I hope he's OK. That'd be a really, really rough way to have this particular stretch of his career to end. Hopefully it's a minor injury and he can rehab it and be back in the ring sooner vs. later.

You have ages until Wrestlemania though...call the audible, get checked, and if it's all ok, have him beat whoever's champion and carry on.

You want your Mania main eventers looking as strong as possible heading into the show. CM Punk and Seth talking about who's the best in the world when Seth lost clean to Jinder Mahal a month and a half earlier seems silly. Maybe they'll have to take it off him anyways, but the guy finished the match and still did everything he was supposed to do, it wasn't like he immediately went down and couldn't get through the match. It'd be a different story if he couldn't stand or something.

Jinder wouldn't have won clean though, did you even watch the match? There was interference everywhere HHH and Cena main evented 'Mania 22 when Cena was only two and a half months into a second reign that began at the Royal Rumble after he was massacred by Edge at New Years Revolution, and HHH himself didn't even win that year's Rumble. Punk and Rollins would be fine

Worst case if Rollins has to miss WM then they could probably do Punk/Drew instead, though it wouldn’t have the same shooty backstory that Punk/Rollins would have. As mentioned there’s a lot of time between now and Mania, just have Rollins rest up until then. Live audiences only care as long as they can sing his theme music so I don’t think he has to wrestle from now until then.

If it isn't too severe, they could hold Seth off defending until Wrestlemania. Otherwise, the Rumble match or more likely the Elimination Chamber match you could have for the held up title.

Isn't this the same leg that he had issues with a year ago during a match with Austin Theory? I vividly remember this happening.

If the Rock wrestles at Mania, I think you do Cody vs Punk if Seth is out even though that isn't Cody's preferred title. You could even do a cheap disqualification or count out ending if Rhea vs. Becky goes on last on Night 1.

Punk and Rollins would be fine Jinder winning dirty wouldn't have protected Seth much given that Mahal had last won on the main roster against Humberto in 2022, his only win that year. It's still a bad decision to have a Jabroni pin a main event face in the run up to 'mania.
And by the way, Edge cashed in after an Elimination Chamber match in which Cena was one of the two men who had started off, and John kicked out of the first spear in the Cash-in match. Trips won a tourney to find the WM opponent for Cena.

Could do Priest vs. Drew vs. Punk that still could main event night 1

Even if it ends up being nothing I'd still have him sit out the Rumble. He can sit ringside during the Rumble match and have a staredown with the winner at the end. Could do Priest vs. Drew vs. Punk that still could main event night 1 In that case I think Rhea/Becky would main event night 1. Rollins/Punk is big enough to main event but I don't think that triple threat would be.

Rollins/Punk is big enough to main event but I don't think that triple threat would be. Read my mind. It’s kind of crazy that a “dream match” of this magnitude possibly not happening is a disappointment, but really nothing major. Rhea and Becky is right there to step in. Hopefully it’s nothing serious as I’ve enjoyed the build to Rollins vs Punk so far. If he does need to relinquish the title I guess Elimination Chamber would give the ideal opportunity to crown a new champ. Or Damien Priest FINALLY cashes in that briefcase. I love the thought of considering EVERY other option before that. Like I said In the injury thread, ice him up. Hopefully the mri shows nothing too negative. No more matches for the 2 month + build. Second worst case scenario - incorporate it into storylines. I think/hope he’ll be fine BUT this the result of working your ass off as champ. Seth’s been going through it. MJF and Kenny went through it. Ppl clown on Roman (and he’s an extreme example) but …. Should have called an audible and had Jinder win then Priest cash in You Cannot Hinder Jinder
