Seth Rollins sustained a torn MCL and a partially torn meniscus on Monday's WWE Raw, Fightful Select has learned.
dammit all
full post:
Seth Rollins sustained an injury at WWE Raw on January 15, and there’s good and bad news.
Fightful Select learned that as of Monday Night, Rollins told people backstage that he didn’t think he’d sustained an ACL tear. One WWE higher up we spoke to said “considering he’s powerbombed a 300 pound man on a torn ACL, we think he understands what that might feel like.”
Unfortunately, the word in WWE and sources near Rollins are that he sustained a torn MCL and a partially torn meniscus. However, it is not known as of yet if he’ll require surgery, though the hope is that he can avoid it. We also aren’t sure how WWE will play things on television, or if the injury will be downplayed or embellished.
Rollins has a history of knee problems and has worked through many of them in the past. Several in WWE put over Rollins’ toughness and resolve throughout the match, and the immediate aftermath.
Fightful sends our well wishes to Rollins.

Sounds like his status is probably very up in the air depending on the severity of the MCL tear. If it's grade 1, he might be able to make it back before Mania, though he'd probably be cutting it close in conjunction with the other injury, but if it's more severe he's probably not making it.

If Seth loses the Punk match/possible Mania main event, because thru decides he had to wrestle freaking Jinder Mahal.
Wow that would suck.

That Jinder match is not going to age well, everyone called it pointless to do in the first place and now Seth suffered a serious injury in it. It's nobody's fault by the way, it just... probably shouldn't have been booked, but hindsight and all that, can't predict this shit.
Like if it's a torn MCL and partially torn Meniscus? That's gonna be hard to come back from in two months. Guess they're getting opinions ad potential timetables now and have been for the past week to decide if they need to pivot for Mania or if he can be cleared by show time and be safe
Overall, this sucks, because that's Punk's big return match up in smoke immediately and your potential Night 1 main event up in smoke too, the worst possible timing.

A torn MCL isn't the worst, the partial tear of the meniscus might be worse as there's no telling when the knee will give way with damage to the meniscus without the MCL.

The torn MCL is actually the exact same injury that he suffered before WrestleMania 33, and he made the show that year. But of course, you have to account for seven additional years of wrestling mileage and age, and the additional meniscus injury, complicating things.
It’ll be tight, WrestleMania is 10 weeks away, but it’s not game over.

Does certainly explain why they've been so quiet about it. Probably assessing the likelihood of Seth potentially being able to make it back in time and if he can't they'll likely use Elimination Chamber to pivot.

So if they don't have Priest cash in to win it by proxy then what are we doing.

So Cody/Punk and Roman/Rock at Mania?

Well, now that they know he's hurt, it feels like the move is Priest beats Rollins on Monday, then Punk/Judgment Day stuff can take them through Rumble and EC, then see where things are in March and you can have Seth win it back if he's ready to go or you wind up doing some sort of Punk/Priest/Drew/Sami match at Mania. That might actually help mask any rust Punk has, too.
I feel like unless Seth just absolutely can't do it, dude's going to wrap the knee up, put a brace on and make it happen.

Best case scenario is like Logan Paul after the Roman match when he tore his MCL in November and was lucky it only required 4-6 weeks of rehab and he was back in the ring for the Rumble.
Worst case scenario it's obviously worse and he needs to be stripped of the title. Weird thing is that possible horrible news for him could be good for his wife's career as I think Becky/Rhea maybe main events night 1 if Rollins/Punk doesn't happen. I don't see any combination of Punk/Priest/Drew going on last.
I guess they won't make any decisions this week. Have him cut a promo saying his status in jeopardy then evaluate where they are in mid-February. If doctors think he'll be back for early April keep the title. If they think it's too risky he vacates and a chamber match can decide the new champ.

And the Jinder match was made already so no point in even invoking his name. Just a f***ed up situation at the worst time for Seth. But I think he makes Mania. They will have to cut his leg leg off and he has two months to make it thru one match
