It’s been reported by John Pollock that Raw superstar Seth Rollins has been injured, which may explain his absence from past weekend live events. However, he is still scheduled to appear on upcoming Raw episodes for non-physical roles.
It seems there is somewhat of a crisis in WWE when it comes to the number of Superstars who may be leaving soon or are deemed inactive to wrestle. With WWE stating just recently that Dean Ambrose will be leaving the company after WrestleMania, WWE is in real need to feature bigger stars on their programming. However, it’s been reported by John Pollock from Post Wrestling that Seth Rollins is dealing with an injury-related issue as of late, which may explain his absence from the past weekend’s live events.
Although he might be injured, Pollock explained that Rollins will be doing non-physical roles as he’s still scheduled for upcoming episodes of Monday Night Raw, which probably indicates that his match with Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania is still in place.
It also is worth noting that Mike Johnson from PWInsider reported earlier this week that Rollins would be showing up at last Monday’s episode of Raw.
However, with Rollins not showing up on Raw despite WrestleMania season, could this mean that Rollins’ potential injury is more serious than it first seemed?
With Roman Reigns out of action and Dean Ambrose leaving soon, WWE can’t rely on losing many more of their top stars, especially considering that Raw still does not have their world champion showing up weekly on their brand.
And now with all the hype surrounding the newly-created AEW promotion, they may be more Superstars that may want to leave the WWE to sign with that company. But in Rollins’ case, if the rumors of an injury turn out to be true and potentially more serious than first thought, the timing couldn’t be worse for the WWE to lose yet another of its top guys.
