Seth Rollins did not walk out of his latest title defence unscathed.
As seen on the main event of the January 15th episode of WWE Raw, Rollins defended the World Heavyweight Championship against Jinder Mahal. The biggest talking point from the encounter was the condition of The Visionary, who was seen clutching his knee in the latter parts of the match. Rollins would go on to win the match and retain the title against Mahal but the concern from fans remained.
With Seth Rollins having a history of knee injuries, some may have thought this was a part of the match. However, as reported, Seth Rollins was helped to the back and could put weight on it. It is also claimed hat Rollins could walk on his own but had a definite limp as seen on Monday Night Raw.
Backstage sources described Rollins as “neither overtly pessimistic nor optimistic” regarding the condition of his knee.
In a further update on Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer stated that the World Heavyweight Champion is going to get an MRI and they company are awaiting the results:
I just know he’s getting an MRI and then we’ll find out. Basically, I was told that it could be something minor, could be something worse, we won’t know until the MRI result comes back.
