Update On Seth Rollins’s WWE SNME Injury

At WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event, Seth Rollins’ match with LA Knight was cut short after Rollins appeared to injure his knee. In the moment, it seemed to be a devastating blow to Rollins, who has become the top heel on “Raw” following WrestleMania 41, and to WWE, who seemingly had huge plans for Rollins during the summer. But not long after, and despite reports that Rollins’ injury was legit, Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer Newsletter and John Pollock of POST Wrestling revealed that at least one person within WWE had been claiming an injury angle involving Rollins had been planned days earlier, suggesting the injury was a work.

On Monday morning’s “Wrestling Observer Radio,” Meltzer addressed the situation right out of the gate, noting that there remained conflicting signals regarding whether Rollins injury was a work of fiction or was legitimate.

“I will say this; everyone is insisting that it was legit, that he’s injured, it was a knee injury,” Meltzer said. “And…I would…there’s things that I can’t say, but I’ll just say I was not…I tried to get it confirmed. I’m probably saying too much. I tried to get it confirmed, and someone did not confirm it to me. So I don’t know for sure. I think it will all come out…Here’s the deal; it’ll all come out in the wash. Everyone’s insisting its real, and John Pollock said what he said. And I tried to get a confirmation from someone if John Pollock was mistaken, and they would not say that. So I can say that much.”
