At first it sounded like it could possibly be a storyline, playing up how severe the beatdown was of Seth on Monday. However, Joe didn&#8217;t concentrate on Seth&#8217;s knee at any point in the beatdown. PWTorch sources say the injury is legitimate.\u00a0It&#8217;s also\u00a0potentially serious, causing Seth to yet again miss WrestleMania and again delaying the scheduled\u00a0grudge match with Triple H.<\/p>\n<p>WWE.com has\u00a0footage of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wwe.com\/shows\/raw\/article\/seth-rollins-injured-samoa-joe\">Seth leaving the arena on crutches<\/a>, looking dismayed at the situation.<\/p>\n<p>Seth appeared to be just fine during the beatdown, but when Joe applied his sleeper at the end, Seth&#8217;s foot appears to get caught on the mat as they went down, twisting his\u00a0right\u00a0knee awkwardly. Seth posted on Twitter, &#8220;Wish I could say it was just a bad dream.&#8221; This is the same knee that was injured prior.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Wish I could say it was just a bad dream. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/mr5vu1MEVp\">pic.twitter.com\/mr5vu1MEVp<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Seth Rollins (@WWERollins) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WWERollins\/status\/826832819074789376?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 1, 2017<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><em>Keller&#8217;s Analysis: This appears to be just a fluke injury, as Joe yanked Seth to the mat and Seth&#8217;s boot just caught on the canvas. This either reshuffles WWE storylines, if the priority is to make sure Triple H is in a significant top match on the show, or it just erases Triple H&#8217;s match against Seth. There&#8217;s enough depth on the card to absorb a loss of one it&#8217;s top four or five matches, and this is one of those. The hope, of course, is that Seth can still work with a knee brace at WrestleMania or be fine by WrestleMania, but the early fear\u00a0among WWE sources is he could miss four-to-six months. I don&#8217;t\u00a0know if Joe will take any heat for this, but between injuring Tyson Kidd in NXT and now Seth on Raw in his debut appearance, it&#8217;s not\u00a0the type of record you want.<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-1932512502\"><div id=\"pwtor-169369892\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\nTHANK YOU FOR VISITING<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>WWE issued a statement saying Samoa Joe injured Seth Rollins&#8217;s knee on Monday Night Raw.
