Seth Rollins injury update: WWE star injures knee during Saturday Night's Main Event

A massive injury may alter all of WWE.

Seth Rollins appeared to suffer a legitimate injury during Saturday Night’s Main Event, putting one of the company’s biggest star’s immediate future in jeopardy.

The injury occurred during a match against LA Knight. Rollins was on the attack and had attempted a backflip in the ring when his knee buckled. Rollins immediately went down and grabbed at his right knee. He backed into the corner of the ring and talked to the referee and Paul Heyman. LA Knight tried to attack Rollins but the referee stopped anything from happening.

A ringside doctor eventually came and checked in on Rollins. “The Visionary” briefly spoke with the WWE staffer before he got to his feet. LA Knight hit the BFT and got the pin for the win in what seemed like a quick adjustment to the ending.

After the match, people inside Atlanta’s State Farm Arena took photos of medical personnel checking on Rollins inside the ring. He then received help walking back to the locker rooms.

While the extent of Rollins’ injury is currently unknown, it could be catastrophic and potentially means some big changes to storylines. Rollins is Mr. Money in the Bank, able to cash it in for a championship opportunity at any time, and there was speculation he would do it at Saturday Night’s Main Event.

With Heyman, Bronson Reed and Bron Breakker part of his stable, Rollins was also on a hot streak ever since his WrestleMania 41 win in April. The group has become one of the most menacing in WWE.

This story will be updated with more information.
