One of the matches that took place at WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event card was a singles bout between Seth Rollins and L.A. Knight.
The injury happened after Rollins performed a springboard moonsault. After being checked on by the referee and a ringside official, Rollins was immediately hit with a BFT by LA Knight and pinned for the loss.
Seth Rollins appeared as a guest host on the Rich Eisen Show and gave an update on the knee injury.
“I was in a match with LA Knight and I hurt my knee. I was doing a move I do all the time, a moonsault, and I landed on my feet. When I landed, I felt my knee kind of pop and buckle. We got out of the match and move forward. Monday, I was in Birmingham, Alabama, where our specialist is. We tried to take a look at the knee. There was some imaging; it was a little too swollen, so we’re going to take another look, hopefully in a week or two here in LA. Try to get some sort of firm diagnosis and we can go from there. I am not a doctor, I only know my body and what I feel. What I feel is that this is going to be me out for an extended period of time. This isn’t the first time I’ve been injured, it won’t be the last time. I’ve always got WrestleMania in the back of my mind. Can I make it back for WrestleMania season? I feel good about that. Beyond a firm timeline, I just won’t know until we receive a clearer answer from the MRI. That’s where it’s at,”
