Well this is some bad news that could become terrible news pretty quickly. WWE Champion Seth Rollins may have suffered a serious knee injury during a house show in Dublin, Ireland earlier today. Rollins was in the middle of a match with Kane (DAMN IT KANE) when he landed awkwardly following a sunset flip attempt.

The Champ was able to finish the match, but as you can see in the video below, Rollins knee was in such bad shape he had to crawl over to make the cover on Kane instead of walking.

Video footage shows Rollins needing some serious help to get out of the ring and head to the back.

While little is known at the moment about Rollins status long-term, it’s safe to assume the injury could be a major one. If that turns out to be the case, it’s extremely bad timing for Rollins who finally is in a great feud heading into a big match. With guys like John Cena and Randy Orton already out of action, Rollins was finally going to be given a chance to shine in a main event feud with Roman Reigns.
Fingers crossed that this injury isn’t as bad as the video suggests.
