As reported earlier, Samoa Joe’s devastating attack injured Seth Rollins severely. The architect’s knee was badly damaged as per updates from the WWE and Rollins himself. Samoa’s main roster debut was a much-anticipated one and he did it in a mind blowing way. This garnered all attention from the WWE universe.
The speculations are running rampant whether his knee injury is legit or not. The WWE is trying to make it real by all the means possible but the rumor mill is suggesting something different, by saying it’s all kayfabe. The injury is just a part of the storyline and Rollins will be back to take redemption.
‘The Man’ posted a series of tweets to give us updates about his injury to show that it’s for real.

If that’s the case then the WWE’s future planning for Wrestlemania will be in jeopardy. They’ve planned for a money match between Rollins and Triple H set to take place at the grandest stage of them all. Given that the injury is legit, the match will be postponed for sure. Furthermore, Rollins will miss Wrestlemania for the second straight year which will also damage his career to a great extent.
The WWE is trying to sell the storyline on the social media with tweets from both superstars.

Rollins was likely scheduled to face Samoa Joe in a match at the Fastlane PPV, the last stop before Wrestlemania. The PPV will take place on March 5 at the BMO BH Center in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Triple H was supposed to make interfere, costing Rollins the match against Samoa to set up the ultimate showdown between them at Wrestlemania. But the plans are likely to change if Rollins injury turns out to be legit.
