According to a new report, there is concern in WWE that Seth Rollins may need surgery.
Rollins is believed to have suffered a shoulder injury during his match against Cody Rhodes at WWE Crown Jewel in Perth, Australia on Saturday. The belief is the injury occurred on the coast-to-coast headbutt spot he did during the bout.
PWInsider is reporting that some in WWE are worried Rollins may require either shoulder or rotator cuff surgery. However, others within the company are said to be taking a “wait and see” approach, given the faked knee injury angle Rollins was involved in earlier this year.
Dave Meltzer and Bryan Alvarez discussed the injury on the latest edition of Wrestling Observer Radio. Both believe the injury is legitimate, though Meltzer noted that some in WWE remain skeptical due to the prior storyline.
Meltzer said:
“Seth Rollins was tentatively scheduled to wrestle Roman Reigns at WrestleMania. I don’t know this, but I have been told enough things to where I expected that there would be a turn on Seth Rollins at some point because the whole thing with this faction was not about Seth Rollins, it was about Bron Breakker, and about making Bron Breakker into the next Roman Reigns. Now, how they would do that, I wasn’t told that.”
