Seth Rollins Injury Update: 'Extended' Absence Expected After Awkward Landing at Saturday Night's Main Event

ATLANTA, GEORGIA, JUL 16 – Seth Rollins expects a lengthy recovery after a knee injury forced WWE to alter storylines and cancel planned matches, including a key SummerSlam bout, officials said.

  • Seth Rollins suffered a knee injury during his loss to LA Knight at WWE's Saturday Night's Main Event last weekend in Atlanta.
  • The injury occurred when Rollins’ knee buckled on a springboard moonsault, causing the match to end abruptly as WWE personnel helped him backstage.
  • Rollins has a history of multiple knee injuries and will undergo further testing, including an MRI, after swelling made initial imaging inconclusive.
  • Rollins stated, "this is going to be me out for an extended period of time" but remains hopeful for recovery and a return around WrestleMania next year.
  • Reports differ on the injury’s legitimacy, with some suggesting the angle covered an existing problem and WWE may announce a nine-month absence before a quicker return.
