As we’ve been reporting here on eWn, Seth Rollins suffered an injury during his match with Jinder Mahal during the main event of Monday’s episode of RAW. The reigning WWE World Heavyweight Champion underwent an MRI this week and the results are not good.
According to a report from Fightful Select, Rollins suffered a torn MCL and a partially torn meniscus. As of this writing, there is no word on if he’ll need to undergo surgery. The hope is that he can avoid it. It remains to be seen how WWE handles the situation.
It was said that Rollins was telling people backstage at RAW on Monday night that he didn’t believe it was an ACL tear – which is much more serious. A grade 1 (mild) MCL tear usually heals within one to three weeks. A grade 2 (moderate) MCL tear generally takes four to six weeks to heal with treatment. A grade 3 (severe) MCL tear can take six weeks or more to heal with treatment. If a person undergoes surgery to fix a torn MCL, it could take longer. One WWE higher-up said, “Considering he’s powerbombed a 300 pound man on a torn ACL, we think he understands what that might feel like.”
Rollins has dealt with a number of knee injuries over the course of his career and has worked through several of them.
Finally, Seth Rollins has been pulled from weekend live events.
