If Seth Rollins’ injury is bad, how could this hinder the WWE Survivor Series main event?
Today, WWE began their live event tour. They had an event today in Dublin, Ireland and one of the matches featured WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins vs. Demon Kane.
During the match, Kane and Rollins were at the top rope. As you’ll see below, there seemed to be some confusion as to what the two were going to do. Rollins ended up going for a sunset flip powerbomb but landed awkwardly on his right leg.

Rollins would have to be helped out of the ring following the match.
If Rollins’ injury is serious, it could take him out of the WWE Survivor Series pay-per-view on Nov. 22. He is set to face Roman Reigns, who won a No. 1 Contender’s match on Oct. 26 to face Rollins at the show. Obviously, if Rollins can’t go at the show, it means the main event will be changed.
There are alternatives for this, though. Some may involved Reigns and some might not. It could even involve Rollins dropping the title if the leg injury is worse than expected.
So with this in mind, check out the Survivor Series main event alternatives by clicking below.

Seth Rollins Drops the Title, Sets Up Roman Reigns vs. Another No. 1 Contender
This would be a scenario that no fan wants because Seth Rollins’ injury would have to be terrible. However, as the old saying goes, the show must go on.
Roman Reigns would certainly be involved in a match for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship if Rollins had to drop it since he became the No. 1 Contender last week. He would need an opponent, though.
A way of determining his opponent could be through a match on Raw. Since Kevin Owens and Dean Ambrose are developing a feud, they could be placed in a bout to decide who will face Reigns at Survivor Series. Owens would likely win this to set up a face vs. heel match.
Reigns would defeat Owens at Survivor Series to capture his first WWE World Heavyweight Championship. However, after Ambrose comes out to celebrate with Reigns, he pulls a move that Owens did last year at NXT TakeOver: R Evolution and attacks his best friend. This sets up a compelling main event feud of Reigns vs. Ambrose through the winter.
So that’s one scenario. What else could main event Survivor Series?

If Seth Rollins cannot wrestle at Survivor Series, but doesn’t drop the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, we could see a traditional Survivor Series match headline the show.
At the end of WWE Hell in a Cell, we saw The Wyatt Family come out to attack The Undertaker after he lost to Brock Lesnar. The group would carry out his battered body to close the show.
The next week on Raw, Undertaker’s kayfabe brother, Kane, came out to attack the Wyatts before being beaten down and carried out as well.
Both of these attacks set up a potential 4 on 4 elimination match on Nov. 22.
Putting this as the main event of Survivor Series would be a logical move. This is the 25th anniversary of The Undertaker’s debut in 1990, so having him headlining the show would make sense. Fans will also be interested in seeing if him, his brother and possibly two others could take down Bray Wyatt and his monsters.
If Team Undertaker vs. Team Wyatt doesn’t main event Survivor Series, what could be option 3 if Rollins cannot compete?

In the first slide, we noted how Roman Reigns vs. Kevin Owens for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship could headline Survivor Series. This would also result in Dean Ambrose turning on Reigns after he wins the title.
However, what if all three men headline Survivor Series for the title if Seth Rollins drops it?
Ambrose and Owens could compete in a match on Raw to earn a spot in the main event of Survivor Series. This would end in a double count-out, though, forcing The Authority to place both men in the match against Reigns.
Having this triple threat would pit three talented stars against each other and set up a potentially great main event. Plus, tensions between Reigns and Ambrose could start here with one man turning on the other once this match concludes.
So what do you think is the best scenario for the Survivor Series main event if Seth Rollins cannot wrestle? Let us know below.
