Following the devastating news on Seth Rollins, who are the best options to replace him as WWE World Heavyweight Champion?
Yesterday at the WWE live event in Dublin, Ireland, WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins suffered what was thought to be a tweaked knee in a match against Kane. Rollins went for a sunset flip powerbomb from the top rope but landed very awkwardly on his right leg. He finished off the match with a powerbomb through the table but had to be helped away by doctors.
Unfortunately, the prognosis on Rollins’ leg was not good.
ESPN’s Jonathan Coachman broke the news that Rollins suffered a torn ACL and MCL. He will be sidelined for 6-9 months and have to drop the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.
