Old News

When I originally read Richard Gray's story "Seth Rollins Tore ACL, MCL & Medial Meniscus; Out 6-9 Months" on November 5, 2015 (today is exactly 6 months from that day), I admit to being surprised. In November and the months preceding November, Rollins' character was more of a "I'm not fighting you tonight" character than a "I'm going to fight you tonight" character. For example, in October 2015, Rollins was paired with his former Shield members - Roman Reigns & Dean Ambrose - to fight The New Day (in case they've disbanded, the New Day was Kofi Kingston, Big E Langston, and Xavier Woods - read more here), but when it was time for Rollins to tag in, he faked an injury and abandoned his Reigns & Ambrose. No one was surprised - Rollins was a great heel. By the time he recovers from the injury from November, I can only speculate that some other WWE athlete has taken on his role of being the heel and, frankly, perhaps by today - 5/6/2015 - there's not room for him.
