WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins has torn his right ACL,
MCL and medial meniscus, and will not be able to defend the title
against Roman Reigns at Survivor Series. A tournament to determine a new
champion will instead take place at the event.
As first reported
on Twitter by ESPN, Rollins suffered the injury Wednesday night at a WWE
Live Event in Dublin, Ireland, and is expected to miss six to nine
months of action.
Details surrounding the Survivor Series tournament have not been
finalized. The event takes place Sunday, Nov. 22, and will air live only
on WWE Network.

According to the Wrestling Observer,
WWE is likely to be calling in some “very big names” to appear on TV
now that Seth Rollins is out for up to nine months with a knee injury.
The site notes that the timing of the injury is particularly bad with
John Cena, Brock Lesnar, Randy Orton and other big names on hiatus for
various reasons, which could lead to WWE bringing in some major names.
It wasn’t mentioned if these “big names” would be for Raw or
scattered throughout the coming weeks until Survivor Series, or even
for Survivor Series itself. A report yesterday suggested that,
Sting should he be healed up from his injuries and able to return to
the ring, Sting might be used for Survivor Series in Undertaker and
Kane’s expected match with the Wyatts so that is always a possibility.
