Seth Rollins is going on hiatus yet again due to injury.
The top WWE star took time off from WWE after WrestleMania 40, where he dropped the WWE World Heavyweight Title to Drew McIntyre, who lost it to Damian Priest once he cashed in Money in the Bank contract. He had a knee operation done before returning a few weeks ago.
During this week’s episode of Raw, Rollins was attacked by Bronson Reed in a highly praised segment, where Reed hit Rollins multiple times with a splash. Dakota Kai was previously announced for a scheduled match on this week’s Raw against Sonya Deville. However, she was attacked by Shayna Baszler, Zoey Stark, and Sonya Deville before the bout.
While speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, it was noted that Reed’s attack on Rollins was intended to write him off television. Kai is also dealing with an injury.
Dave Meltzer: “I don’t know how serious. All I heard….I asked if those were storyline covers for injuries, and I was told they both were. But Seth is not a bad situation like Seth is cleared. He could wrestle, but, you know, he’s banged up, and so it was a good time for him to take time off and do this. So I don’t know if he’ll be back for the pay-per-view against Bronson Reed. Obviously, he’s going to wrestle Bronson Reed.
Bryan Alvarez: “He shouldn’t be back for a while after that beating.”
We wish him a speedy recovery.
