Probably not unless something drastically changed

- Kenny Omega has in fact not yet had surgery regarding his diverticulitis. He is not factored into creative plans, and AEW doesn't seem to have an idea of when he'll be back.

- We've been told it's far too early in the process of Okada leaving NJPW to determine where his next move will be.

- For those asking, we're still expecting Mercedes Mone to AEW, as do most in the company.

- Several outlets have also confirmed that they've heard that Brock Lesnar is tentatively planned to return to WWE TV soon. Fightful had revealed and discussed this on this past Monday's Raw post-show.

- As highlighted in our Smackdown notes of late, Gable Steveson has been traveling to Smackdown each week.

- PWInsider has reported that Seth Rollins is off this weekend's house shows, and replaced by Randy Orton. 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 sustained an injury at WWE Raw on January 15, and there’s good and bad news.

Fightful Select learned that as of Monday Night, Rollins told people backstage that he didn’t think he’d sustained an ACL tear. One WWE higher up we spoke to said “considering he’s powerbombed a 300 pound man on a torn ACL, we think he understands what that might feel like.”

Unfortunately, the word in WWE and sources near Rollins are that he sustained a torn MCL and a partially torn meniscus. However, it is not known as of yet if he’ll require surgery, though the hope is that he can avoid it. We also aren’t sure how WWE will play things on television, or if the injury will be downplayed or embellished.

Rollins has a history of knee problems and has worked through many of them in the past. Several in WWE put over Rollins’ toughness and resolve throughout the match, and the immediate aftermath.

Either he relinquishing that belt...or pull a Cody and push thru that shyt like Cody did his bicep. But unlike Cody, that's only if he doesn't need surgery. Welp...this might change things for WM.

Scenario 1: No surgery. He pushes thru til WM. IF Punk wins RR, he drops title to him.

Scenario # 2: He has to get surgery. Relinquish the title. Either a tournament is created for the belt.

Scenario #3: Surgery. Title Relinquished. BUT title belt on the line at EC. Winner could possibly face winner of RR at WM.

Scenario #4: Nothin happens. They let him heal up until WM

Just spitballin shyt. WWE will figure it out

And they wonder why they put the Tribal Chief on ice after he got hurt at Summerslam.

Tell Seth to come chill on the island with his Shield brethren til Mania.

 

[Chi-Town B]

Take that title off him, already got one champ missing don't have the other one missing too

 

[TonyDubbz]

Unfortunate smh. He been putting in work and could miss out on a major mania match. I hope not but if he does then atleast we got options and they're actually good for a change too.

If he missing time then he'll definitely vacate. That was the whole purpose of this title
