The injury to WWE Superstar Seth Rollins has sounded alarm bells for his career. Hall of Famer Teddy Long believes the Money in the Bank storyline should proceed without Rollins. Meanwhile, Bill Apter believes his injury is real but not serious.
WWE: The game and the story change every moment in the ring. But when it comes to a legend like Seth Rollins, even an injury can overturn the entire script. According to recent news, Seth Rollins' injury could weigh heavily on WWE's plans. And now there is discussion about whether he will be removed from the 'Money in the Bank' contract and a new superstar will be brought forward.
Could Seth Rollins' Injury Become a Headache for WWE?
Seth Rollins' fans are worried after his injury. According to reports, this injury has reactivated a pre-existing wound. Bill Apter, an experienced pro-wrestling expert, believes that this injury is genuine, but not so serious that Rollins will have to stay out for a long time. At the same time, some experts are considering it a “work” i.e. scripted angle, so that the storyline can be given a new twist. But Hall of Famer Teddy Long does not agree with this opinion.
Teddy Long's Blunt Statement: 'Don't Wait, Move On!'
In a recent interview with Wrestling Time Machine, Teddy Long gave WWE direct advice—'If Rollins is going to take a long break, then promote a new star.' According to him, WWE should not depend on the injured Seth Rollins and should hand over the Money in the Bank contract to another talented wrestler. Teddy Long said, 'You don't know how long he will be out. If you estimate that he is going to be out for more than two months, then why not give someone else a chance?'
Paul Heyman's Thinking is Different
However, Paul Heyman's opinion is completely different from this. He believes that the time limit for the Money in the Bank contract is still far away and Seth Rollins should be given time to recover completely. According to Heyman, it would not be appropriate to rush with a star like Rollins.
Is This an Opportunity for a New Superstar?
In WWE history, it has been common for new stars to emerge after injuries. For example, when Stone Cold Steve Austin was injured, The Rock got a new chance. If Rollins' place becomes vacant, then new faces like Bron Breakker, Carmelo Hayes, or LA Knight can be brought forward.
Money in the Bank Contract: WWE's Biggest Asset
WWE's Money in the Bank contract is a career changer for any wrestler. This contract can be used for any championship at any time. In such a situation, WWE will have to decide whether they want to risk it in the hands of an injured superstar or give a chance to a new face?
Fans' Opinions Are Also Divided
Fans' opinions are also divided on social media. Some want Rollins to be given time, while others believe that LA Knight or Drew McIntyre should get a chance. A user wrote on Twitter, 'WWE needs new energy, and Money in the Bank is the right opportunity for this.'
Injuries Are Not Just Obstacles, But Also a Means of Change
Injuries are common in the world of wrestling, but every injury also gives WWE a chance to give a new story and a new champion. If Seth Rollins has to stay out for a long time, then this can be a time for the company to experiment with new things.
