hah. he just came back from an injury, right?

[slik]

Not too long ago, maybe 6-7 months?

[Simple Fan]

Is this legit or kayfabe?

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Joe choked his knee into a living death

I wonder if Trips is taking WM off this year?

Is this legit or kayfabe?

It's legit.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Move in now move out
Flail up now flail down
Back up back up
Tell me what you're gonna hurt now

Keep Rollins Rollins Rollins Rollins
Keep Rollins Rollins Rollins Rollins

[slik]

Meltzer now reporting it as well, said it's in the same spot as previous knee injury

[#BROKEN Hasney]

It was because he was flailing around like a moron before Joe pulled down on the clutch, so all his weight was on one knee.

If Seth is out, what should they do at WM?

HHH vs. Balor ?

HHH vs. Reigns II?

HHH vs. Taker III?

[Ruien]

FUCK YOUR FAT ASS JOE

[Simple Fan]

Just leave him off. HHH doesn't have to be on the card. Only thing that made sense for him was Rollins. If that can't happen now then he shouldn't be on the card. Makes Joe look more like a bad ass storyline wise at least.

[Ruien]

FUCK OFF WITH THIS SHIT.

[road doggy dogg]

damn

[slik]

Didn't Samoa Joe injure Tyson Kidd too/isn't that why Kidd is retired...why isn't Bret Hart bitching about this yet?

Leave HHH off
Keep Joe off until after Mania.
If there was more time they could build to a HHH/Joe involving HHH going back on his word or something but now leave him off or cast him aside and throw him to Smackdown

[Bad News Gertner]

That's what happens when you give some green as grass indie wrestler the spotlight like that. Too much pressure.

[Cool King]

So, what other great wrestler will Samoa Joe injure next?

My money is on Cesaro.

Saw "The Destroyer" and thought it was our good friend Baird.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

This could easily turn until Joe v HHH. Joe wants to cash in on what he was promised, HHH decides he's not going to hold up his end of the bargain, attacks Joe, and boom, insta feud.

Although Joe works much much better as a heel. But there's not much else for him to do. Everyone else seems tied up in other budding storylines

[Rebecca Reigns]

If this was Roman Reigns he would have speared Joe when he tried to put him in a chokehold and then gave him a Superman punch.

let sting get his win over trips

[slik]

Sting is too old to wrestle.

[slik]

Triple H vs Sami Zayn.

It would take an archaeological dig to retrieve Zayn from that burial.

[Maluco]

Do Reigns vs Joe when HHH goes after him next to keep the title where he wants it and eliminate him as a threat. Swerve being HHH siding with Reigns at Mania to complete his turning to the darkside. Have an enraged Joe chasing them down post Mania.

Zayn vs HHH is easy too when Zayn sticks up for Rollins, and HHH promises to crush him at Mania, not because he is a threat, just cause he wants to and has nothing to do. Zayn having to prove himself.

Could be two great matches and sets up post Mania well..

Would prefer they just left HHH off now and Taker off too. He looked terrible in the Rumble and obviously needs surgery.

[Sixx]

Sting is too old to wrestle.

so is taker, yet he's still around.

[Jordan]

Fuck! This sucks so bad for Seth. Like I can't even imagine his feeling right now. When he does return, this match with Triple H is going to be fucking fire hot.

I'd say leave Triple H off the card it's already over crowded anyway and he isn't adding much to a show that is already going to be pretty awesome.

However if he must be on then I think he needs to go against Balor, Sami or Joe. I don't know how it works but it's gotta be someone who can be elevated from that type of match. Would also enjoy Braun Strowman squashing Triple H.

[Maluco]

Other option is HHH whining about his lack of Mania opponent and laughing about Rollins misfortune, saying a guy of his pedigree has few peers in the history of the business...

..cue Kurt Angle's music.

Easy to build up a match like that with their history, and would be the one HHH match at this stage that I would be excited about seeing.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Took the clutch wrong. I guess his flopping around like an idiot finally did something bad for him.

[#1-norm-fan]

WWE gonna end up with an old school, ridiculously long built match next year at WrestleMania. They'll have been feuding for a year and a half without even really touching.

[#1-norm-fan]

Joe is probably the right way to go now if they're dead set on HHH still wrestling. It's an easy enough story to tell. Zayn vs Triple H would just be silly.

[Jordan]

I'd rather see Joe vs Roman as Roman stands up for Seth, Taker doesn't face Roman but takes on Strowman, and Triple H and Shane have a family feud.

[erickman]

wonder if joe will get the joes going to kill you chant again. the wild thing is trips in ring talking about seth getting hurt. so I think they will do a seth can't hack it story.

[Bad News Gertner]

Samoa Joe would definitely make Owen Hart bounce

[Ruien]

This is what happens when you get a fat ass from TNA.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

What, that makes Seth Rollins kick his legs like a toddler having a tantrum?

[Ruien]

He is trying to make up for the TNA filth in the ring with him.

[Volare]

I'd rather see Joe vs Roman as Roman stands up for Seth, Taker doesn't face Roman but takes on Strowman, and Triple H and Shane have a family feud.

Taker/Strowman....jesus I hope Taker is healthy for this, Braun is a big mofo and honestly I don't want Taker getting hurt again in their match.

Triple H vs Shane is easy, Shane is pissed that Trips keeps getting involved and manipulating above his head (IE Handing KO the title, and now Joe) and wants to stop him. (Triple H can call up NXT or "his" guys to take out Smackdown members), showing new talent on TV and building their feud.

[Splaya]

The problem with Taker not being hurt is that no matter who he works with in the match at Mania, he is not coming out unscathed. He is going to be hurt in some capacity

[DrA]

Didn't he come back early from this last injury? I could be wrong about that, but wasn't he supposed to be out for 9 months and came back in 6 or something.

[Cool King]

He will be, Seth is to blame.

I dunno, I slowed the gif down and it looks like Joe is to blame.

https://s27.postimg.org/ms89h6if7/ezgif_com_7b5ff04a95.gif

It looks like Joe lifts his legs above Rollins' knee then falls back and on the way down, his leg lands on Rollins' knee causing the knee to take the force of being knocked, but also all the weight of Joe and Rollins' own weight.

If Joe would have waited until Rollins was perfectly in position, this wouldn't have happened. It looks like Joe fell back a bit early.

[Destor]

There is no one to blame. Please stop. Its a physical activity. Shit happens.

[Volare]

One more look and not arguing with your slow mo....watch when Rollins is lined up perfectly with Joe....and watch Joe's right leg start his jump, I don't think he knew Seth was gonna keep turning.

[Sixx]

look at them motherfuckin' analysts

true goddamn john maddens

[Ruien]

It's a guy from TNA. Of course he cause it. Rollins has been sabotaged.

[Anybody Thrilla]

What the hell are you talking about?

[Vastardikai]

JOE'S GONNA KILL YOUr knee!!!!

[slik]

There's never been a better time to bring Brodus Clay back and repackage him as "Son of Mantaur".

HHH vs Mantwo at WM33!

[Anybody Thrilla]

Bring back Steiner so Triple H can get his posedown victory back.

[Emperor Smeat]

Besides Rollins, Jericho (ankle) and Rich Swann (foot) were also injured within the span of a day. Looks like Papa Shango decided to start his curse late for this year's Road to Mania.

WWE could probably easily transition into a Joe-HHH feud by having HHH try to take all credit for Rollins injury or boss around Joe too much that he resents being just a lackey. Wouldn't really need to turn Joe face for it to work since people would still want to see Joe destroy someone at Mania.

[Sepholio]

I dunno, I slowed the gif down and it looks like Joe is to blame.

I get what you're saying here but Joe catches Rollins on the left leg in the scenario you describe and it's his right leg that is injured if you look at the twitter pic of his leg wrapped up.

[Hanso Amore]

Joe almost kills Kidd and now this.

I dont think hes sloppy, but he goes FUCKING hard and stiff and this shit will happen.

He definitely goes after the clutch awkwardly and blow out Rollins Knee.

[Stickman]

Seth put himself in danger, his legs and whole body are all over the place when Joe does his really basic move. This is something I've noticed in the past, some guys seem to be willy nilly with their bodies, Seth is one of those guys. He's always got limbs going every direction, look at how he sold Joe's beat down throwing himself upside down into the barricades. An example is how he jumps off things landing on his feet, Ambrose does it too when he suicide dives out of the ring and lands on his feet; that is just begging to hurt knees and ankles.

[Destor]

There is no one to blame. Please stop. Its a physical activity. Shit happens.

[RP]

leave Joe alone LEAVE HIM ALONE!

[mike adamle]

The curse of Samoa Joe strikes again!

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

But really though it's crazy how good at submission wrestling Samoa Joe is. The guy locks in a choke and tears a guys knee while doing it. Impressive

I remember watching a lacrosse fight and one guy got punched in the face, broke his ankle, and got his ear ripped in the net as he fell down....good old days.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

I don't think it's either of their faults. Just an accident.

Nobody's taken heat for any of Seth's accidents so I don't think anyone is in shit.

[The CyNick]

Tough spot to put the WWE again. Seems like a lot of injuries surround Seth. It's not put a monkey wrench into two straight Manias, as well as whatever they had planned for Valor after SummerSlam last year. That's a lot of TV time wasted because of injuries involving Rollins, whether they were accidents or not. WWE proved last year they could shuffle the chairs and pull off a great show, here's hoping they do the same this year.

This could cause Vince to rethink Rollins role in the company. Seth could become a permanent member of the midcard club.

[The CyNick]

Yeah, I mean at least it's his knee and not something like his neck. But this does have a Daniel Bryan feel to it, where the company has invested a ton of time to get him over and now they can't capitalize on that investment because the talent keeps getting hurt.

[Emperor Smeat]

This could cause Vince to rethink Rollins role in the company. Seth could become a permanent member of the midcard club.

Doubt he's going to suffer the same way Bryan and Sasha did in terms of being injury prone.

Unlike those two, he already has hand-picked star status in the WWE and WWE rarely likes to take it away from their big stars. He's the #2 face on RAW and depending on Balor, he's either staying at #2 or becomes the top face for his return if the rumored Reigns heel turn happens.

Worst case is probably something like Sheamus. Another hand-picked star who suffered a rash of injuries but still gets treated as a big star and still gets meaningful stuff and/or main event pushes.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

WWE was looking for something to point at and go "NOPE" with Sasha and Bryan. If they had been perfect they probably would have gotten in trouble for being too good.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

If Seth is out, what should they do at WM?

HHH vs. Balor ?

HHH vs. Reigns II?

HHH vs. Taker III?

HHH/Taker would be IV-The Voyage HHHome.

III-The Search for Shawn

II- The Wrath of The Deadman.

I- The Motion Match.

[Sepholio]

Nakamura

This is seriously the answer for HHH for mania. It sucks that it has to be rushed but it could be fit perfectly into the current storyline.

Have HHH walking around backstage at NXT and Shinsuke randomly attacks him and beats the shit out of him. Shinsuke says something along the lines of "Seth says hello". Build it up with a final match between Shinsuke and Joe at an NXT show about a month before mania. Shinsuke goes over and proceeds to challenge HHH to a WM match since he got past his guard dog. Bam instant fill in for the HHH match and it furthers the Rollins/HHH feud for down the road.

[Sixx]

Of course your fat ass will take the side of the fat slum from TNA. Racist bitch.

std hates fit people

[Damian Rey 2.0]

I'd save Nakamura till after Mania. If Rollins is hurt, then HHH should move on.

I don't think there's really a feud in place for him unless they decide to turn Joe against him. Which I'm not keen on, honestly.

[Droford]

Supposedly 8 weeks which is right at WM

Enjoy watching it from the press box again

[Anybody Thrilla]

Nakamura should debut on the Raw after Mania. No need to rush him into a big program like that. Remember, not everyone watches NXT.

As far as the injury, I feel like a lot of wrestling super-fans (us) think that they know more about wrestling than they actually do, simply from having watched more of it than any human possibly should. Whether you're a Seth Rollins fan or a Samoa Joe fan, or whether the converse of either is true, you have to feel bad for the situation. Rollins and Triple H would have been a great match. Seth is probably completely crestfallen over this. And yes, it's all because shit happens. There's no need to try and pinpoint whose fault it is. It's entirely as inconsequential as it is an exercise in futility.

All that said, I don't think that Triple H needs a new Wrestlemania program either.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

No. The Smackdown after Mania godammit.

[Anybody Thrilla]

OK fine

[XL]

Lets have AJ go after Shane and a babyface turn for HHH to defend his brother-in-law. AJ over HHH at Mania.

I agree.

Given the storyline they laid out on Monday with Hunter trying to avoid being an in ring talent and focus on NXT, I think it would be better to keep HHH off Mania because Seth was the one driving him to make this decision to fight again. In a lot of ways the injury is good for this angle, just hurts Mania a bit.

[Cool King]

Depending on how serious the injury is and how long it takes Seth to heal, we could possibly see Triple H/Rollins at SummerSlam instead.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

They should just let Seth work Mania if it's 8 weeks. I get that they are all about wellness and all the b.s. now but if you protect him he'll be fine. As Bret Hart said, there's a way to work hurt.

He deserves the payday.

[Wishbone]

Hopefully he'll be ready to go by 'Mania. I gotta disagree with Dale though. The dude doesn't need to be taking that big a risk when his knee was already surgically repaired once. Better to keep him off 'Mania and have him last longer than let him wrestle hurt and end up losing him early like they have so many others. Seth's too big of a talent to waste like that.

[The CyNick]

You could tell a story where Rollins rushes back and Hunter beats him. Then you let Rollins and Joe continue a program. Down the line, maybe SummerSlam you do the Rollins-HHH rematch.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

If he's cleared to go I think I'd be ok with that. Have Triple H use a sledgehammer to bust up his knee when it becomes clear he can't beat Rollins.

Hell, have him do it in front off the ref and threaten to fire the official should he disqualify him.

[Emperor Smeat]

They should just let Seth work Mania if it's 8 weeks. I get that they are all about wellness and all the b.s. now but if you protect him he'll be fine. As Bret Hart said, there's a way to work hurt.

He could still be on the show for a segment to get a payday but agree with Wishbone about no need to risk rushing him back. He's not Cena nor should that be the standard for injury recovery times.

Can do the big payoff for the feud at Summerslam instead since the WWE already treats it as another Mania-like event of the year.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

I'd love it if Rollins came out Monday to announce he's done and out for more surgery, only for Joe and Triple H to come in and destroy him, complete with sledgehammer to the bad knee

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

The guy deserves the spot and the pay day. There's a way to work the match to protect him. I'd get it if it was concussion protocol etc. but if they strap his knee in properly and work the right kind of match IMO it's doable.

Obviously it's up to Seth. If he's not comfortable don't make him do it, but if wants to take the chance, I say he's earned it.

For fuck sake Vince rolled out a half crippled Undertaker at 86-years-old to work the rumble. Give Seth the call esp if he's medically cleared.

[Destor]

Knees end careers quicker than anything

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

I'm not denything that. But I honestly believe there's a way to work the match that'd keep a medically cleared Rollins protected.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

If he's not medically cleared then there's nothing you can do.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Though I suppose they have no way of knowing until then so they're kind of fucked.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Angle did WrestleMania XIX with a broken neck. He got the job done and made it work. Hope it's something he can power through. This feud was supposed to do down last WM and then we got HHH/Reigns instead. If it can go through it should unless Nakamura is next in line.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Broken freaken neck*

[Ultra Mantis]

This is the perfect opportunity for Jimmy Jacobs to book himself revenge squashing Samoa Joe and then destroying HHH at Wrestlemania.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

The thing is, even if he can work through it, does it mean that he should if he's not close to 100%? A watered down, protective Seth Rollins isn't going to do him justice

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

I think good workers understand how to work at 50% and put on a great match.

[Mr. Nerfect]

This sucks for Seth, and could potentially suck for Joe, because they don't tend to kayfabe shit anymore. Joe putting Rollins on the shelf isn't going to be the story, but rather Rollins hurt his knee and it's really sad and Triple H will send him flowers and tweet out that it's a shame about WrestleMania.

Soft. This could be an angle that gets The Destroyer over. Seth's WrestleMania dreams are crushed. Joe should mine this shit for heat. Also, fuck Triple H. The story is that he's focused on creating now. He lured Seth in by saying he didn't have a creation that could stop him so he had to do it himself, only for Joe to be the secret weapon. It doesn't make sense for Triple H to fight Rollins now anyway. It's Joe's match. If Triple H puts himself in a WrestleMania match, I am going to vomit.

Joe could be penciled in with basically anybody. Seth doesn't really have any allies on the roster. I guess Reigns, and Reigns fighting for him would be interesting if there wasn't already a Strowman/Taker program planned. I'd be fine with Taker sitting out Mania too and Joe/Reigns being the program. I'd also be fine with Sami Zayn taking up for Seth, respecting him after their clashes and realizing what a piece of shit Joe is. Balor returning for Joe also makes sense, but the problem is that we've seen all that shit in NXT -- but I don't think it will matter to casuals or even hardcores that eat anything involving indy guys up.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I would be happy for Seth to make WrestleMania early and the knee to give him trouble only for Joe to destroy him building to a rematch.

[The MAC]

BRET HART was right. Seth Rollins has been the part of more injuries in recent times than any other wrestler on the roster.

Seth needs to learn how to work safer, not just for his opponent but for himself

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

I would be happy for Seth to make WrestleMania early and the knee to give him trouble only for Joe to destroy him building to a rematch.

It would be HHH/Rollins at Mania if he can go.

Joe would have been for Roadblock.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Whoops.

8 week recovery time is being reported for Seth.

About 9-10 weeks before Mania.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

We'll find out come Raw!!!!


.... Well, I'll just wait for the update on this thread. No way am I sitting through that shit.

[Blonde Moment]

Here's a stretch... what if Rollins injured himself earlier and Joe's a back up plan of some kind

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Makes sense. Could be why they put him out of the Royal Rumble match.

[Blonde Moment]

Makes sense. Could be why they put him out of the Royal Rumble match.

That is the one thing I was thinking about... all we have heard is how they are so down on Sami Zayn and all of a sudden he has a spot in the rumble over Seth? Sure you could say it's story based but why use Sami Zayn?

[Ruien]

Because Steph hates Sami and Seth so she forced 1 out of the Rumble by making them go against each other.

[Mr. Nerfect]

It would be HHH/Rollins at Mania if he can go.

Joe would have been for Roadblock.

I know that, and it's a fucking travesty.

[Stickman]

Here's a stretch... what if Rollins injured himself earlier and Joe's a back up plan of some kind

Are they smart enough to plan that?

[Ruien]

I know that, and it's a fucking travesty.

Hhh/Rollins is the 1 long term built up storyline. No way it shouldn't be that way at Mania. It has been so well done. Get over the fact you dislike HHH and you will enjoy it so much more. Hell, it's been 100% Rollins and Steph regardless.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Hell, it's been 100% Rollins and Steph regardless.

A problem in itself since she is actually one of the worst promos I've ever heard.

[Ruien]

Ya but the last promo they had Rollins actually went over Steph. That is so damn rare to happen.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

But Seth and everybody lost, because Steph was on t.v.

In all actuality I'm sure she's a "draw" particularly compared to the neutered roster but I refuse to watch her. Channel is changed when she is on t.v. Though I MAYBE watch 15 minutes of RAW a month lol except during Mania season.

[Savio]

People are blaming Joe like Seth didn't injure Finn or Sting.

Sting is like 50 years old. Come on. He probably gets injured making his coffee in the mornings.

[#1-norm-fan]

People are blaming Joe like Seth didn't injure Finn or Sting.

Cena kinda looks like Sloth in that picture...

[Sepholio]

Don't forget Seth broke Lesnars ribs too.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Guys, shit happens. It is no one's fault.

[Lock Jaw]

I think it is all Noid's fault, personally......

[Mr. Nerfect]

No, I am only responsible for the failure of the Women's Revolution.

So fucking sick of Enzo. Wrestlemania should be Enzo vs Elsworth vs HHH for idiot of the year award.

I am glad I am not the only one that can't stand him.

[Cool King]

Yeah, I'm not all that big on Enzo either.

[Cool King]

There's times where I'm "meh" about him but there's other times where I find him to be slightly annoying.

He's like Scrappy-Doo in a way.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Heel only. Just has that kinda face like the Miz.

He lost his laugh and smile. Joe kicked the leg out of his leg.

[Wishbone]

I like Enzo, but I get the Scrappy-Doo reference. He definitely has been hurt by his presentation as of late. It's hard to get behind him when WWE is making it painfully obvious that he is the reason Big Cass isn't succeeding. It's always Enzo's fault that the duo gets messed up. If they're gonna split them (which is a bad idea IMHO) then just split them, but this crap is just making everyone look bad and will likely damage Enzo if they ever do decide to do something with him.

[Savio]

If they split and enzo goes heel he will be ruined because 9 times out of 10 they make heels pussies.

The 10th time is a heel that doesn't know he sucks (Curtis Axel)

[Savio]

There used to be something called a monster heel, I thought Braun might have been one until he pussied out to big show.

[Ruien]

Rusev isn't a pussy!

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Enzo should be moved to the cruiserweight division, where I think he'd flourished, while also providing Cass with a mouth piece to play off of.

They can continue to team together and even chase tag titles, but also pursue singles titles while still staying a team.

They don't have to break up and have one go heel. Put Enzo in a feud with Neville for the cruiserweight belt and Cass in a feud with Jericho for the US title, or whoever is US champ after Mania

Badda boom.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I'm of two minds about Enzo:

On one hand, I've never been a big fan of him and Cass. Remember when they were in NXT together, and they just didn't have that oomph and The Vaudevillains were actually the better choice to challenge for the NXT Tag Team Championship in Brooklyn? I've never been a big fan of "look how good I can talk" routines, like Road Dogg, Enzo or R-Truth. It's an emcee position that I can appreciate is an important tool for pumping up audiences and that sort of thing, but I find it an obnoxious role. I can't believe, for example, that people still go along with the same old shtick every week.

That being said, the dude is over, and guys that can get over in today's day and age should be cherished. The idea of him being a babyface to challenge Neville for the Cruiserweight Title does have appeal. The big problem there is that Enzo sucks pretty bad in the ring. I've learnt that isn't always the end-all be-all, but Enzo really sucks.

So, I dunno. Do you try really hard with Enzo or do you use him as filler and let him talk more freely, because he's a lot better when he can talk more freely? I personally think the best thing for him and Cass is to have that allegiance with John Cena, put them on the road with him, and have Cena pass on whatever he can as a mentor to Cass (who has big star potential) and Enzo (who has got the charisma of a big star, but the gait of a jobber).

[Danny Electric]

I like Enzo, kind of like a new version of Scotty 2 Hotty but better on the mic , maybe he should bring back The Worm as his finisher.

[Vastardikai]

Honestly, I would make Enzo a manager for Big Cass. Seems like the best role for him. Let's him do what he does best, and keeps him from getting anywhere near the inside of a ring.

[Cool King]

I personally think the best thing for him and Cass is to have that allegiance with John Cena, put them on the road with him, and have Cena pass on whatever he can as a mentor to Cass (who has big star potential) and Enzo (who has got the charisma of a big star, but the gait of a jobber).

Reading that just made me instantly think of Cena's short association with Cryme Tyme, but the only real difference being that the tag team is white.

[#1-norm-fan]

And reading that just made me think of "JBL is poopy".

[Wishbone]

Problem with Enzo joining the cruiserweights is that he doesn't fit their style. He'd stick out like a sore thumb, and while that wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing it would in his case because he's just not good enough for that kind of spotlight. Enzo is best in a team, and at the moment Cass needs someone to build him up as well. I just don't see a reason to split them up when both benefit far more from working together at the moment.

If you were dead set on pushing Cass as a singles guy right away (which I think would be a bad idea tbh) then I'd have him go for a singles title with Enzo in his corner, but I wouldn't let Enzo do any singles stuff.

WWE decided to hype up a big announcement at RAW tonight regarding Rollins injury and Mania status with the whole thing basically being the equivalent of this:

He's being replaced by Yano? I'm on board with that. :shifty:

Meltzer reported that HHH/Rollins is ON FOR MANIA

Really? Don't joke with me.

[Triple A]

Meltzer said on "Wrestling Observer Radio":

Seth Rollins is considered good for WrestleMania, so Triple H vs. Seth is on, and that’s what they’re working towards.

[Ruien]

Hell ya. So happy to hear that.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Seems risky but ok

[Ruien]

Will probably be a Goldberg/Lesnar match where it is super quick to protect Rollins.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Meltzer sheep tho

[Emperor Smeat]

I'd be shocked if Rollins doesn't pull a Cena and get quickly re-injured within a couple of months later if they really do rush him back for Mania.

Then again Vince had Taker rush back from his recent hip surgery for the Rumble and he was struggling a lot to not get hurt again during the match.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Just do Rollins and Joe and have Joe re-injure the leg in the match. Rollins can take more time off until he is properly ready and then he can beat Joe with the Bret/Piper finish, then they can have a big blow-off, Triple H can cost Rollins, then you can move into that match for SummerSlam.
