WWE Superstar Seth Rollins sustained a devastating knee injury last night at Saturday Night's Main Event. Unfortunately, it not only affected his match but also caused major shifts in the rest of the show, including Goldberg's farewell address.
According to Fightful Select, The Visionary's injury led to several changes being made, which affected the timings of the rest of the show. Consequently, in a shocking turn of events, the NBC feed of the show ended up cutting away from Da Man's retirement speech.
The wrestling promotion reportedly had a hard out on the broadcasting network. It was also reported that several people backstage were not amused by what happened, and at least one senior person in the company apologized to the WWE Hall of Famer.

Wrestling analyst believes former champion could replace Seth Rollins in major program
Former Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns has been away from the squared circle after being taken out by Seth Rollins and Bron Breakker on the RAW following WrestleMania 41.
