As noted prior, Seth Rollins suffered a legitimate knee injury on RAW this past week. The injury was to the same knee that forced him out of action for 2015 and a good chunk of 2016. His previous injury kept him out of Wrestlemania 32 and his status for Wrestlemania 33 is now in question.

So how long will Seth be out for? Seth was in Birmingham, Alabama getting his knee evaluated this week.

Dave Meltzer posted an injury update on F4WOnline.com. He says that Seth apparently tore his MCL. This makes his return timetable very interesting.

Early word is that Rollins will likely be out for around 8 weeks if everything in his rehab goes to plan. This is great news that the injury won’t keep him out for several months but it puts his Wrestlemania status in serious jeopardy. Wrestlemania is about 8 and a half weeks away.

Meltzer notes that Rollins will likely want to do everything in his power to make sure the match with Triple H still happens. The problem is that WWE has tightened their stance recently in throwing their talent into the ring so quickly after injuries due to legal reasons.

It will be interesting to see what happens. If Rollins is out until the week of Wrestlemania, this doesn’t leave much time for WWE to build up the match. It also depends entirely on Rollins and his rehab, if he has a set-back or if his recovery is a week later than it would throw off WWE’s Wrestlemania plans. It will be interesting to see what WWE decides to do and if they want to take the risk. We will have to wait and see.

As noted prior, Seth Rollins noted in his statement about the injury that: “And for me, fighting and defeating Triple H is the only way. I will work harder than I ever have and push myself beyond what I know”

We are pulling for you Seth!
