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.

WWE Superstar Seth Rollins recently suffered a significant injury during his match with Jinder Mahal on Monday Night RAW. Rollins underwent an MRI, and the results are not promising. According to reports from Fightful Select, Rollins has a torn MCL (Medial Collateral Ligament) and a partially torn meniscus. The severity of the injury is yet to be determined, and it is unclear if he will require surgery.
Rollins expressed optimism backstage at RAW, stating that he did not believe it was an ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament) tear, which is a more severe injury. The recovery time for a grade 1 (mild) MCL tear is usually one to three weeks, while a grade 2 (moderate) tear can take four to six weeks to heal with treatment. In the case of a grade 3 (severe) tear, the healing process can extend beyond six weeks. If surgery is necessary to repair the torn MCL, the recovery time could be even longer.
It is worth noting that Rollins has dealt with various knee injuries throughout his career and has managed to work through them. However, the current injury may require him to take some time off from in-ring competition to recover fully.
As a result of the injury, Rollins has been pulled from upcoming live events over the weekend. This decision ensures that he can focus on his rehabilitation and prevent any further damage.
The WWE and its fans are eagerly awaiting updates on Rollins’ condition and how the company will handle this situation. Rollins is currently the reigning WWE World Heavyweight Champion, and his absence will undoubtedly impact ongoing storylines and upcoming events.
