Seth Rollins’ sudden absence from WWE television after his awkward loss to LA Knight at Saturday Night’s Main Event XL has fueled rumors suggesting his injury might be staged. These Seth Rollins fake injury rumors emerged as fans and insiders debated whether the situation was a planned storyline or a genuine health concern.
Drew McIntyre Shares His Perspective on the Controversy
Drew McIntyre, a former rival of Rollins on RAW, recently addressed these rumors during an appearance on Logan Paul’s podcast, Impaulsive. When asked if he believed Rollins’ injury was fake, McIntyre emphasized that their rivalry was strictly professional and expressed genuine concern for Rollins’ well-being.
He also questioned the logic of inventing such an awkward angle, especially when the Money in the Bank contract provides significant storyline possibilities. McIntyre doubted the creative team would risk confusing fans with a fabricated injury in this context.
“I want him to be okay, of course. He’s a professional rival, not a personal one,” Drew McIntyre on Seth Rollins. “I just don’t see a benefit if [Rollins’ injury during his match against LA Knight at SNME XL] was a storyline. It’s the Money in the Bank briefcase. Anyway, it is going to be a surprise. ‘Haha, I threw a match and I did this’ — I don’t see it. But maybe there is more to it, and it becomes a story. I’m just not seeing the bigger picture. I just hope he is okay.”
Additional Context Around Rollins and WWE TV Appearances
Following Saturday Night’s Main Event XL, Rollins has remained absent from WWE broadcasts, further intensifying speculation about his injury status. Meanwhile, other WWE talent such as Paul Heyman, Bronson Reed, and Bron Breakker have continued to appear together as a unit on Monday Night RAW.
Rollins’ wife, Becky Lynch, who holds the WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship, recently posted a summer photo collection on social media. In one video included in the post, Rollins appeared on crutches while playfully racing with their four-year-old daughter, Roux, indicating that he is at least mobile despite the rumored injury.
What These Developments Could Mean for WWE Storylines and Rollins’ Future
The truth behind Seth Rollins fake injury rumors remains uncertain, but McIntyre’s remarks hint that WWE’s creative direction may not involve a manufactured injury angle. Rollins’ current absence leaves fans wondering how long this break will last and when he might return to active competition. With the Money in the Bank briefcase storyline still relevant, any further developments could shift WWE programming dramatically in the near future.
