A new report has provided more details on the “very cloudy” situation surrounding Seth Rollins’ knee injury, indicating that even many people backstage in WWE are unsure of what is real and what is a planned storyline.
Confusion And Skepticism Backstage
According to a report from Fightful Select, the situation with Rollins’ injury is being kept very quiet internally. While producers, talent, and other staff are being told the injury is legitimate, there is reportedly “internal skepticism” about its severity, with some believing they are being “worked.” One producer even described the situation as “Machiavellian,” suggesting a deliberate and complex plan is in motion.
A Last-Minute Change at Saturday Night’s Main Event
The report notes that many staff members were internally expecting Rollins to win his match against LA Knight last Saturday, but an “audible” was called for the finish after Rollins was injured. It was treated as a legitimate injury backstage, and Rollins was seen on crutches the following night at Evolution.
The confusion surrounding Rollins’ status has major implications for the main event scene on Monday Night Raw. Roman Reigns returned this past Monday specifically to seek revenge on Rollins and his faction. With Rollins’ availability for SummerSlam now in question and the true nature of his injury being intentionally obscured, WWE fans are left to wonder how the storyline will proceed.
