Overview

  • Rollins injured his right knee during a match against LA Knight at State Farm Arena when he landed awkwardly on a moonsault, forcing an impromptu BFT finish
  • Reports from Fightful Select and PWInsider confirmed the knee tweak was genuine and prompted WWE to change the match outcome on the fly
  • WWE Chief Content Officer Paul “Triple H” Levesque described the prognosis as “doesn’t look good” and has scheduled a July 14 MRI to assess the damage
  • With SummerSlam now three weeks away, Rollins’ plans to cash in his Money in the Bank contract or even appear at the event are in serious doubt
  • WWE is evaluating backup plans for the faction led by Rollins—including Paul Heyman, Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed—if he faces an extended recovery
