Seth Rollins interrupts top champion on WWE RAW, provides injury update

This week, Seth Rollins interrupted United States Champion Austin Theory on Monday Night RAW to provide an injury update.

After defeating Seth Rollins last week on RAW, Austin Theory came out to address his future plans. He started the segment by taking a dig at John Cena by saying the catchphrase, "The Champ is Here."

He said Seth Rollins limped away from the ring last week because his old knee couldn't hold up. The Visionary wasted no time in interrupting Theory. He first came out on crutches, but soon he started dancing on the entrance ramp.

Theory told him that he was pretending to be 100%. Austin said that if Rollins was the mountaintop, he was the pinnacle. He then claimed he would win the Royal Rumble match and headline WrestleMania.

Seth provided an update on his knee by saying that he may not be 100% tonight, but he would be at the Royal Rumble and main event WrestleMania.

He then said he would see Austin Theory at the Rumble and walked away.

If ever given a chance to change a storyline, Sunil would have booked Roman Reigns to end The Undertaker’s WrestleMania streak instead of Brock Lesnar. According to him, The Tribal Chief needed the victory more than Brock Lesnar, as the latter was already an established performer when he defeated ‘Taker. He would’ve also made that as Taker’s final match.
