The full extent of The Visionary’s injury is yet to be determined, but it was previously confirmed by PW Insider that he will not be participating in the upcoming weekend’s house show events. It appears he will be at RAW next week.
Seth Rollins has experienced a devastating knee injury in the past. In 2015, he injured his knee while wrestling Kane at a house show. Now, he is dealing with another knee affliction. We’re hoping that the Visionary has good news for fans on RAW.

Internal Thought on Seth Rollins’ Injury
Sean Ross Sapp reported on Fightful Select that the initial thought is that Rollins did not injury his ACL. Rollins himself reportedly stated the night of that it didn’t feel like he had sustained that injury.
We’re told that the initial hope backstage was that he’d not sustained an ACL injury, and that Rollins at least personally thought it wasn’t that the night of.
Seth Rollins’ WrestleMania Plans
Seth Rollins is set to face CM Punk at WrestleMania 40. At this time, the match is reportedly still part of the plans. Rollins taking some time off the road may contribute to his knee healing. His upcoming announcement on RAW may change everything as well.
The feud between CM Punk and Seth Rollins has a significant history. The storyline developed organically, so losing Rollins on the road to the show of shows is not ideal for Punk at this time.
