Is Seth Rollins' WWE injury real or fake? New report provides clarity

The Visionary captured the MITB briefcase last month!

‘The Visionary’ Seth Rollins, with the help of his henchmen, Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed, was able to capture control and force his vision on the entire roster. Every dissenter was taught a befitting and harsh lesson.

The total control helped with the capture of the Money in the Bank contract at the namesake PLE last month. Rollins was set to cash in the contract at his time of choosing and win the World title. However, these plans came crashing down at Saturday Night’s Main Event during his clash with LA Knight.

What Happened?

Seth Rollins suffered a freak injury during his singles match against LA Knight at Saturday Night’s Main Event. The Visionary tweaked his knee during a spot when he was going for a moonsault from the ropes; due to the injury, an audible call was made during the match.

According to PWInsider, the match result was adjusted after the injury. Rollins was originally supposed to win, but the decision was changed once officials confirmed he couldn’t continue. Knight hit the BFT moments later for a quick and improvised finish.

After the bout, Rollins was helped to the back, looking visibly shaken and frustrated. Fan-captured videos showed him yelling and limping away, further fueling fears that this may be another serious injury to his surgically repaired knee.

Is Seth Rollins’ injury a work?

The injury has been under heavy scrutiny, with people speculating if it’s real or a work, a master plan by Rollins and Heyman to cash in on Gunther when he least expects it. The Wrestling Observer Newsletter has delved deeper into the story.

According to WON, several sources have mentioned that there were plans for an injury angle to take place on Saturday Night’s Main Event, where Seth Rollins would appear to leave, only to return at SummerSlam and cash in Money in the Bank during the CM Punk vs. Gunther match.

The idea was for Rollins to win the title, with the twist being that he and Paul Heyman “outsmarted everyone.” Dave Meltzer reported that the current belief is WWE still intends to move forward with the original plan, though there’s some uncertainty now that the news has leaked, potentially undermining the element of surprise.
