WWE star Seth Rollins addressed the status of his knee while filling in as the host of today’s Rich Eisen Show. Rollins said he went to a specialist in Birmingham, Alabama, on Monday to have some imaging done, but his knee was too swollen. He said would undergo another MRI “in a week or two” in Los Angeles. Rollins added that he believes he will be out for an extended period.

Powell’s POV: The full clip of Rollins addressing his knee during today’s show is available below. I continue to hope that it’s a big swerve that will lead to another surprise Money in the Bank cash-in for Rollins. I have no idea whether that’s the case, but I did explain how everything that has transpired can be covered in a storyline sense during my appearance on Tuesday’s edition of the Wade Keller Pro Wrestling Podcast, which is available via Spreaker.com.
I really hope it is, to some extent, a storyline. I feel in my bones it’s not (but I have to tell you I’d be SOOOOOO happy to he wrong). I’m not necessarily a Seth fan, per se, but I’ve REALLY enjoyed his work over the past couple years, and am itching to see where this new faction goes. Plus, as a fan and someone involved in the industry myself, I just hate seeing guys get hurt. Here’s to hoping he’s alright. And if not, I hope WWE has the ability to turn this pivot into a storyline we all love… like Bron getting the title and Seth coming back, or any number of things.
He’s cashing in on Punk when he beats Gunther at Summerslam.
