Seth Rollins and AJ Styles have been out of action since The Royal Rumble.

AJ Styles has a hernia, according to Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio. Styles is advertised for tonight’s SmackDown Live, as well as this weekend’s SmackDown live events.

Seth Rollins has been dealing with a bad back. WWE is reportedly just resting Rollins up, and the injury is said to not be serious enough to threaten his scheduled match against WWE Universal Champion Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 35.

Rollins was scheduled to be at last night’s RAW, but never appeared on television. Post Wrestling reported over the weekend that he will not be working live events for the foreseeable future, and will not be getting physical on WWE television over the next month. Despite this, WWE has him advertised for this weekend’s RAW live events.

Regarding Roman Reigns announcing his battle with leukemia on Monday’s WWE RAW, PWInsider reports that 99% of those in the company h ad no idea what Reigns was going to announce before he went out to the ring. The upper-level officials in the company, likely the McMahon family’s inner circle and Talent Relations, were the only ones who knew before the announcement was made on Monday that Reigns was ill, along with members of Reigns’ family. The announcers were not clued in to what the announcement was before it was made.

On a related note, Vince McMahon was not in attendance for Monday’s RAW.

Reigns taking time off and dropping the WWE Universal Title obviously changed some creative plans. PWInsider adds that most plans for the WrestleMania 35 main event picture are now “out the window” but as noted recently, the main event was not locked in. Reigns was still expected to be a part of one of the top matches.

Reigns’ announcement did not push up the heel turn by new RAW Tag Team Champion Dean Ambrose. That turn was planned for the future but officials decided to pull the trigger early. PWInsider adds that this was not a creative plan made at the last minute due to Reigns’ announcement but the turn was moved up.

As if Raw wasn’t emotional enough due to everything involving Roman Reigns, the show ended with Dean Ambrose turning on Seth Rollins after they won the tag team titles.

The Shield defeated Dolph Ziggler/Drew McIntyre after Braun Strowman interfered and brawled with McIntyre to the backstage area. While Dolph was alone, Seth hit the Curb Stomp for the win.

Ambrose and Rollins began to celebrate in the ring, but Dean dropped the title and hit his tag partner with a Dirty Deeds DDT out of nowhere. He then continued to beat Rollins down while seemingly yelling about the conversation from Raw last week where Seth called him a lunatic.

Watch how it all went down below.

Seth Rollins is currently dealing with a bad back, according to The Wrestling Observer Newsletter. No word yet on if Rollins will miss any ring time but it looks like he’s working through the injury. Rollins’ partner Jason Jordan is dealing with a neck injury, not a back injury as previously reported. Jordan is said to be having issues with his grip, which could indicate a very serious injury. WWE has been trying to protect Jordan by having him do as little as possible in the ring as of late.

Seth Rollins announced this morning on ESPN SportsCenter that he is on the cover of the WWE 2K18 video game. He noted that being on the cover is exciting and while he’s a gamer, it’s weird to see his face on the cover.

WWE 2K18 hits stores this fall on PS4 and Xbox One. It’s also rumored for the Nintendo Switch.

Below is the full announcement 2K:

BE LIKE NO ONE: 2K Announces Seth Rollins™ as the WWE® 2K18 Cover Superstar

New Early Access initiative invites players to purchase the WWE 2K18 Deluxe Edition or WWE 2K18 Collector’s Edition and receive the game before its worldwide release date

New York, NY – June 19, 2017 – Be like no one.

These four simple words likely generate several reactions, but for WWE Superstar Seth Rollins™, they are a master class in describing his unmatched work ethic, disruptive mindset and definitive WWE career.

Since joining WWE in 2010, Rollins has done things on his own terms. Like many claim but never accomplish, he was destined to be different, blaze his own trail and take no prisoners along the way, even if it meant disrespecting history. The first move on Rollins’ chess board: become the inaugural NXT® Champion in 2012 and put everyone on high alert. The second move: make his WWE main roster debut at Survivor Series® later that year, align with WWE Superstars Roman Reigns™ and Dean Ambrose™ to form The Shield™ and rally against authority. As the pieces continued moving, the accolades followed: two-time WWE Champion, United States Champion, WWE Tag Team Champion and “Mr. Money in the Bank®,” to name a few. And now, “The Kingslayer” stands tall after a definitive checkmate: defeating Triple H® on WWE’s grandest stage at WrestleMania® 33.

For every calculated action and result, there is no question Rollins will prevail by any means necessary, and in doing so, embody everything it means to be like no one.

In celebration of his in-ring accomplishments and bold individuality, 2K today announced Seth Rollins as the cover Superstar for WWE® 2K18, the forthcoming release in the flagship WWE video game franchise. In addition, Rollins will personify WWE 2K18’s worldwide marketing campaign – BE LIKE NO ONE – which invites players to explore Rollins’ identity, as well as those of several other WWE Superstars, while learning more about the game. WWE 2K18 is currently scheduled for worldwide release on October 17, 2017 for the PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system and Xbox One.

“As the WWE 2K18 cover Superstar and franchise ambassador, it is my incredible honor and mission to ensure this game will truly BE LIKE NO ONE – a calling card perfect for everything I stand for – as it sets forth on its own unique path,” said Seth Rollins. “Following in the footsteps of other WWE 2K cover Superstars – Dwayne “The Rock®” Johnson, John Cena®, Stone Cold Steve Austin® and Brock Lesnar® – I now carry the torch and proudly represent a new generation of WWE Superstars. I am the future, and the future can’t be stopped.”

“Each year, the WWE 2K franchise emerges with a unique identity, impeccable authenticity, an incredible roster and the freedom for players to customize and control the virtual WWE world through its extensive offerings,” said Chris Snyder, Vice President of Marketing at 2K. “In determining who truly epitomizes BE LIKE NO ONE and represents WWE 2K18 to the fullest extent, there was one obvious answer: Seth ‘Freakin’ Rollins.”

Seth Rollins Discusses Status For WrestleMania 33 On RAW (VIDEO)

wrestlemania seth rollins injury status raw video

Injured WWE Superstar Seth Rollins says he’ll be at WrestleMania 33 … but whether he’ll wrestle in a match still seems to be up in the air.

Rollins was interviewed by Corey Graves on Raw and said he didn’t think he’d be cleared in time for WM33. Triple H interrupted shortly after add to insult to injury.

The segment ended with Seth telling Hunter, “A month ago, I told your wife I had nothing left to lose. Well that couldn’t be any truer than it is right now. I will be at WrestleMania! And if it’s the last thing I ever do, then I swear to you, it will be the last thing you ever do.”

Despite the guarantee he’d be there, the interview appeared to leave things open ended just in case. As we previously reported, Rollins has been out of action since January 30th.

WWE To Give A Full Medical Update On Seth Rollins This Monday On RAW

WWE announce this morning that Seth Rollins is off weekend live events. They posted the following this morning, noting that an update will be available on RAW:

UPDATE: The full extent of Seth Rollins’ injury remains unknown, but WWE.com can confirm that the former WWE Champion has not been cleared to compete at WWE Live Events this weekend. A full medical update will be given this Monday night on Raw.

Seth Rollins’ right knee was reinjured during Samoa Joe’s ambush at the conclusion of this Monday’s Raw, WWE.com can now confirm. The attack occurred as Rollins was heading to the ring to finally confront Triple H, who cost The Architect a WWE Universal Championship opportunity back in August.

As noted, Rollins has reportedly suffered a torn MCL in the brawl with Samoa Joe on RAW and is expected to be out of action for around 8 weeks.

News On Seth Rollins’ Injury, Rollins Issues Statement

The right knee injury that Seth Rollins suffered at Monday’s RAW in the fight with Samoa Joe is believed to be a torn MCL, according to Wrestling Observer Newsletter.

Rollins was evaluated by doctors in Birmingham, Alabama on Wednesday and early word is that he will be out of action for around 8 weeks. The scheduled match with Triple H at the April 2nd WrestleMania 33 pay-per-view is possible but not definite. This is the same knee that Rollins had reconstructive surgery on last year, forcing him to miss the first scheduled match with Triple H at WrestleMania 32.

The Observer adds that the segment on RAW was to set up Joe vs. Rollins at the March 5th Fastlane pay-per-view. Rollins would then face Triple H at WrestleMania 33.

Rollins issued the following statement Wednesday evening regarding his injury on his Twitter account:

Wanted to take a second to thank everyone who has reached out to me over the last two days. Life doesn’t always go your way, but that is no excuse to surrender. If anything, obstacles exist to help us grow and evolve.

“This reinjury to my surgically repaired knee is real and a lot is up in the air right now, but one thing remains constant: my resolve. This doesn’t end for me until I’ve reclaimed the throne. And for me, fighting and defeating Triple H is the only way. I will work harder than I ever have and push myself beyond what I know. This isn’t over. The only way to wear the crown is to slay the king. I know what must be done and there’s nothing that can stop me.
