Paul Heyman Says Seth Rollins’ Injury Is A ‘Fact Of Life,’ Believes Injury Allows More Spotlight On Bron Breakker
Seth Rollins appeared to injure his knee at WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event in a match against LA Knight. Rollins did a springboard senton followed by a springboard moonsault before clutching his knee and going to the corner before being checked on the referee and a ringside official.
On Monday’s WWE Raw, Heyman said he didn’t have any more information on Rollins’ knee.
Speaking to Shakiel Mahjouri of CBS Sports, Heyman was asked about Rollins and his injury.
“Seth Rollins being injured is a fact of life. It’s an inherent danger in this industry. The media will exploit their access to us by having more in-depth reporting behind the scenes. We’re going to exploit that access to the media by devising storylines that are enticing to the readers, viewers or the people who consume that content. It now becomes another platform for us to use. It’s just the evolution of the relationship. The reporters get closer to the product, and the product gets closer to the reporters,” said Heyman.
Though Rollins was not on WWE Raw, Heyman still had Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed by his side.
“This allows even more spotlight to be put on Bron Breakker, who is going to main event multiple WrestleManias in the future. I was predicting that even before Bron Breakker was with me on television.
“Bronson Reed is the most underappreciated and underutilized monster that we’ve had for years. Finally, he gets the spotlight to have the right opponents to smash. He gets the right opponents to Tsunami. Before, it was an effort to get Bronson Reed into a main event. Now the main eventers line up for him…”
On Wednesday, Rollins hosted the Rich Eisen Show and commented on his knee injury, believing he will be out for an extended period of time. You can find his comments here.
