quote:

WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins has torn his right ACL, MCL and medial meniscus, and will not be able to defend the title against Roman Reigns at Survivor Series. A tournament to determine a new champion will instead take place at the event.

As first reported on Twitter by ESPN, Rollins suffered the injury last night at a WWE Live Event in Dublin, Ireland, and is expected to miss six to nine months of action.

Details surrounding the Survivor Series tournament have not been finalized. The event takes place Sunday, Nov. 22, and will air live only on WWE Network.

Stick with WWE.com for more information on this breaking news story as it becomes available.

Bryan wrestles Kane as champ and is reduced to a farm

Rollins wrestles Kane as champ and his knee explodes

the answer is to put the belt on Kane so no champs can face him

It's a shame that he'll likely miss WM32 with this, though it is about 6 months away. All that crossfit was going to come back on him one day.

6-9 months seems like it's pushing it if his ACL, MCL, and meniscus are all torn. Isn't the usual timeline closer to a year?

Tournaments allow for some fresh matches, which they desperately need. At least that kills whatever remaining chance there was for a drat Seth/HHH program.

It varies depending on the severity, the kind of pressure he puts on it, and his own body's ability to recover.

Also medical advances, etc etc.

A few years ago Adrian Peterson completely hosed his knee in the last week of the NFL season and he came back to start the next year (roughly 8 months later) and ran for the second highest season total in NFL history.

So if they're doing a tournament, how do they storyline keep Lesnar out and keep him as the unbeatable monster? WMIV Hogan/Andre disqualification match?
