6 Wrestling rumors we hope are true and 6 we hope aren't: SmackDown star removed from TLC due to injury, Surprising backstage plans for Royal Rumble 2020

#4. Hope isn't true: WWE forced to book short match due to Seth Rollins' injury

Seth Rollins vs Kevin Owens was supposed to be on the TLC card but it's not due to Rollins suffering a minor injury - but in our opinion, it's good that it wasn't on the PPV in the first place. For one, the story of his heel turn is far too big to have an impromptu match and it's an important match and story for both Owens and Rollins.

However, there was one bad thing that came off it recently. According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, the injury to Rollins scrapped his match against Cedric Alexander. That along with the divorce court segment on RAW going on too long meant that The Viking Raiders vs The Street Profits was a match that came off as a bad one because of it.

According to WON, the match went on for only 3 minutes but was scheduled for a full 15. We hope this isn't true because it's a shame that two top-level teams didn't get a fair display on live TV.
