Wrestlers aren’t athletes, huh?

WWE World Heavyweight champion Seth Rollins will be out of action for 6-9 months after he tore his ACL, MCL and meniscus during a live event Wednesday night in Dublin, Ireland, according to ESPN's Jonathan Coachman.


As a result, Rollins will have to vacate the title and a new champion will be crowned as part of a tournament at WWE’s Survivor Series on Nov. 22.

This sure throws a wrench in WWE plans between now and 'mania.

 

[kristie]

i hope everything works out for him health-wise so that when he does come back, he's better then before.

 

[MichaelWinicki]

Whoa!

That's one nasty image.

Probably closer to 9 months (if not more).

A big negative with the business now using all the high-risk maneuvers.

WWE Creative has been bashed nonstop for quite some time now and deservedly so. Here is there chance to really silence the critics served up on a platter. There couldn't be a more perfect situation for them. Will they step up and come through or will they fumble yet again? I wish I were optimistic.

Saw this a little bit ago....man this sucks! He was one of the only bright spots especially with the horrible booking that's been going on for months. I'd have to imagine it's going to be Reigns winning or possibly someone else with Sheamus cashing in. I wonder if @BoysFan4ever knows? She won't be happy!

Not yet. When you hear this loud scream you will know. Even worse, she is buying her WM ticket and I don't Seth will be back by then.

 

[CashMan]

He has no charisma.

 

[pjtoadie]

He has no charisma.

Yep! When the Sheild first broke up I was really liking him but now not so much!

He doesn't know how to embellish his excitement.

Oh, I am sure they will fumble it like a greased up football in Seattle during the playoffs.

I hope they WWE do another swerve like they did with the Rock when they held the last tournament.

This might be good for Rollins as he can come back as an anti authority figure.

 

[zrinkill]

After he tore both he still got up and power bombed a 300 pound man to "win" the match.

That had to be agony.

A storyline that the Authority basically throws Rollins to the side, crowns some young upstart the next new future of the WWE, Rollins realizes he was just a pawn in the Authority's game all along and starts fighting for truth, justice and the American way? Could work.

 

[Cowboys22]

Come back as a face, put The Shield back together, and lay waste to The Authority for the next 12 months. I might actually start watching again if that was the direction

ummm....gotta admit I'm a bit worried...Is boysfan4ever okay? anyone heard from her?

She's fine.

I just got in from a weekend trip & just found this out! No! I'm sick about this!

 

[BoysFan4ever]

ummm....gotta admit I'm a bit worried...Is boysfan4ever okay? anyone heard from her?

Aw! You're sweet. I was just away for a few days on a little vacation.

and now my wrestling heart is broken! Not Seth!
