Seth Rollins has addressed his injury.
At this past weekend’s Saturday Night’s Main Event show, Seth Rollins unfortunately suffered an injury during his match with LA Knight. During a springboard moonsault, Rollins tweaked his knee while attempting to land on his feet and it was clear that something wasn’t right despite the former WWE Champion finishing the match. Now, the star has given an update on his condition just days after getting hurt.
Speaking on The Rich Eisen Show, Rollins revealed that his knee was too swollen for doctors to get a clear look at the injury when he first had a scan, saying they should be able to get a better idea of the damage in a couple of weeks. Ultimately, though, the 39-year-old feels he’ll be out for an extended period of time.
“I was in a match with LA Knight and I hurt my knee. I was doing a move I do all the time, a moonsault, and I landed on my feet. When I landed, I felt my knee kind of pop and buckle. We got out of the match and move forward. Monday, I was in Birmingham, Alabama, where our specialist is. We tried to take a look at the knee. There was some imaging; it was a little too swollen, so we’re going to take another look, hopefully in a week or two here in LA. Try to get some sort of firm diagnosis and we can go from there. I am not a doctor, I only know my body and what I feel. What I feel is that this is going to be me out for an extended period of time. This isn’t the first time I’ve been injured, it won’t be the last time. I’ve always got WrestleMania in the back of my mind. Can I make it back for WrestleMania season? I feel good about that. Beyond a firm timeline, I just won’t know until we receive a clearer answer from the MRI. That’s where it’s at,”

‘The Visionary’ remains WWE’s Mr. Money In The Bank, with there being no indication that this will change moving forward. However, the situation is very much still developing and the results of Rollins’ MRI scan will likely dictate how the company choose to plan the next few weeks and months of programming.
As always, we’ll aim to provide any further updates on Seth Rollins’ injury status as soon as we hear more.
