Seth Rollins’ Injury Is Pretty Bad
So Seth Rollins has torn his MCL and part of his meniscus, which means things are getting very complicated very fast. The biggest problem here is that we’ll have to see how long Rollins is going to be out of action. It’s going to be at least a few weeks, but there aren’t that many weeks to go before Wrestlemania. You can all but guarantee that he will be out of the Royal Rumble and Elimination Chamber, which means we’re stuck waiting, as usual.
Now what does that mean for the title situation? Well assuming Rollins is going to be out of action for a long time and has to vacate the title (which hasn’t been announced), the best bet would probably be to have the Rumble for the title. It instantly raises the stakes and lets WWE go wherever they want in a single night. If you don’t know where you want to go then the Rumble can proceed as usual, but WWE might be needing to come up with another idea for Wrestlemania. Since that was all but guaranteed to be Rollins vs. CM Punk, Cody Rhodes or Drew McIntyre might be having another story.
Or Damian Priest finally gets rid of the briefcase on Raw and everything is solved at once.
Making the rumble for rollins meaningless title would be pretty lame especially since its damn near impossible to get a shot at Romans belt. They’re probably going to do Drew/Punk at mania and just replace Seth with drew.
