Coming out of the final Monday Night RAW before Sunday's Battleground pay-per-view in Tampa Bay, there was speculation that Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose each sustained injuries during the company's flagship program, but it appears as though they'll be good to go for their match on Sunday.
WWE Monday Night RAW Results And What Happened After The Show
According to Wrestlingheadlines.com, word backstage after RAW was that Rollins was fine and isn't injured as he was just doing a good job of selling a knee injury during the main event that pitted him, Randy Orton and Kane against Roman Reigns and WWE World Heavyweight Champion John Cena in a three-on-two handicap match.
Rollins was helped to the back by WWE officials after sustaining what appeared to be a legitimate knee or leg injury during the main event, which was won by disqualification for the babyface team. Fans in attendance noted that he seemed injured, however he was just selling the injury and should be good to go for Sunday's match with Ambrose.
Update On WWE's Planned Budget Cuts
As for Ambrose, there was some concern from fans that he was legitimately hurt during the opening segment when Orton, Kane and Rollins attacked him and laid him out in order to set up the main event as a three-on-two in favor of the heels, but it appears as though Ambrose is fine aside from getting busted open at the mouth.
The two are set to square off one-on-one at Battleground to settle the score after Rollins turned on Ambrose and Reigns in June by attacking them with chairs and turning heel in what ended The Shield.
The WWE dodged a serious bullet with Rollins as he is "Mr. Money in the Bank" and a long-term injury would have prevented him from posing a constant threat to the WWE World Heavyweight Champion. The WWE kept the cameras off Rollins as he sold the injury, which added to the speculation that he was hurt.
Another injured star coming into RAW was Bray Wyatt after WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair accidentally gave him a black eye at Saturday night's WWE live event at Madison Square Garden by hitting him with his ring on.
According to Wrestlingheadlines.com, Wyatt looked "night and day" from what he looked like when he walked into the arena compared to how he looked on television. The WWE's medical crew reportedly worked hard to drain the swelling from his eye and clean it up while applying makeup to hide the injury.
While there have been a few injury scares to top stars over the last few days, Rollins vs. Ambrose and Wyatt vs. Chris Jericho are still set for Sunday's Battleground.
