During a match with Kane on the WWE European tour this week, Seth
Rollins suffered a major knee injury and will be on the sidelines for
the next 6-9 months, which puts the company in a tough spot just a few
weeks before the Survivor Series pay-per-view event. Aside from being
the WWE champion, Rollins is basically the only major heel on the roster
so there’s more to the situation than just finding the next champion
and because of that, the booking of the tournament scheduled for the PPV
seems that much more important for the long term plans, especially
considering that Rollins won’t be back for Wrestlemania 32. First, it
has to be said that it’s extremely unfortunate that Rollins suffered
such a serious injury and hopefully he can return to 100% because he
deserves a lot of credit for his performances during his run in the main
event picture, even if the booking was shaky at times. Is Seth Rollins
the wrestler to launch wrestling into the main stream? Probably not, but
the bottom line is, he can go in the ring and he has carried the
company during a time when John Cena took somewhat of a more minimized
role recently after working his own busy schedule.
WWE officials and writers will be spending the next few days
re-writing most of their future storyline plans, including WrestleMania
32 plans, as Seth Rollins has vacated the WWE World Heavyweight Title
and will be out of action for 6-9 months.
WWE had plans for Roman Reigns vs. Rollins to main event this month’s
Survivor Series pay-per-view and the December TLC pay-per-view. We
don’t know exactly when the change would have taken place but creative
plans did have Rollins dropping the WWE World Heavyweight Title to
Reigns, according to PWInsider. The plan going into 2016’s WrestleMania
season was for Reigns to be champion.
No word yet on how those plans for Reigns will factor into the
Survivor Series tournament to crown a new WWE World Heavyweight
Champion.
Rollins is scheduled to fly back home from the UK today or tomorrow
and will be heading back home to Iowa. Surgery had not been scheduled as
of last word but it is imminent
