Triple H gives worrying update as Seth Rollins sustains gruesome injury

Wait 5 sec.

Seth Rollins’ status for a huge WWE summer hangs in the balance with Triple H giving a sobering injury update on the star.WWE fans have seen plenty of carnage in recent weeks, but few moments felt quite as shocking as what happened to Seth Rollins at Saturday night’s main event.Rollins has been riding a wave of momentum in WWEWWEGoldberg’s iconic career came to an end – and not without controversy – but the night’s biggest talking point came some time earlier in the broadcast.Rollins, the reigning Money in the Bank holder, went down clutching his knee after appearing to land awkwardly when executing a moonsault in his match against LA Knight.The former Shield member initially appeared to stumble slightly immediately before attempting the move, but managed to take off well and appeared to land correctly, too, before something clearly went wrong.Immediately moving away from the middle of the ring and into the corner, he consulted with the match referee – who in turn was seen feeding information to officials backstage.Very much out of step with the flow of the match to that point, Knight struck with a BFT – his finishing move – to bring the bout to a swift conclusion as medics scrambled to intervene.Rollins was helped backstage as he favoured his knee, with scenes eerily reminiscent of the 2015 injury that saw him requiring ACL surgery and needing months of rehab.The prognosis already looked grim — and by Sunday night, WWE head of creative and chief content officer, Triple H, reinforced the concerning nature of the situation with an update.Speaking after the Evolution event at a press conference, the legendary wrestler said: “It doesn’t look good.“He’s going to get an MRI as soon as he gets to Birmingham, Alabama. He’ll be with Dr Jeff Dugas, our associate medical director. We’ll know more after that.”Rollins had travelled to Evolution regardless of the injury, with Triple H noting: “He was not going to miss his wife’s performance tonight.”Rollins looked to have executed the move with his usual aplomb on Saturday nightWWERollins immediately felt his knee on landing before the match was rushed to a conclusionYouTube/WWEBecky Lynch had earlier defended her Women’s intercontinental title in a standout triple threat match.The news will hit Rollins hard, but will likely send shockwaves across WWE, too.Rollins’ name had been in the mix for multiple marquee directions in August. One rumoured path saw him aiming for Gunther’s world heavyweight title — the same belt Gunther successfully defended in the main event of Saturday night’s main event. That bout marked Goldberg’s swansong, ending a part-time run that began back in 2016.In the wake of his scary injury, everything now seems to be on hold for Rollins, an influential and widely respected WWE figure.His new post-WrestleMania alliance with Paul Heyman, Bron Breakker, and Bronson Reed — had only just started turning heads and cementing itself at the top of the tree on WWE Raw.Medics assessed Rollins before he was helped backstageWWETriple H all but confirmed fans’ fears that Rollins could miss significant ring timeYouTube:WWE/XNo announcement about Rollins’ long-term status – or that of the coveted Money in the Bank briefcase, a key device that drives major title storylines throughout the year – has been made as of Monday morning, but it will almost certainly need to be addressed ahead of Raw come Monday night.While Triple H may be scrambling to assess and sort storylines, the thoughts of WWE fans around the world will be with Rollins who was again approaching the apex of a major run with the company.If the damage mirrors his 2015 injury — or even comes close — WWE could be looking at another extended spell on the shelf for a man they’d been building around since WrestleMania.One door closed on Saturday as Goldberg said his WWE farewell. But the door to SummerSlam may have just swung wide open — and not in the way Seth Rollins had planned.
