While initial reports indicated that Seth Rollins may not be punished for the Instagram naked picture scandal that occurred on Monday, it appears as though "Mr. Money in the Bank" may actually be in for some trouble.

Wrestlingheadlines.com reports that Reddit user MetsFan4Ever, who has broken WWE stories in the past and claims to be a verified insider, said that Rollins is likely to get a small fine while plans for him to win the WWE World Heavyweight Championship may also be put on hold.
Rollins' official social media profiles shared a naked picture of WWE Diva Zahra and then a nude photo of Rollins himself on Monday. It has since been discovered that this was likely Rollins' fiancée's doing after she found out about an alleged affair between the two, but nothing is certain.

It was reported Tuesday that Rollins would not face punishment, but new speculation has indicated that though he wasn't totally to blame for it, the photo was still leaked on his accounts somehow.
Triple H was reportedly against fining Rollins, but Vince McMahon said since they can't punish any of the two women involved, Rollins needs to take some of the blame. This is curious though, since Zahra is in NXT and McMahon could easily punish her, unless he sees her as just a victim.
There was a belief that Rollins would hold his Money in the Bank briefcase until June and cash it in to win the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, but with this scandal coming to light, he likely won't win the belt anytime soon.
WWE officials were said to be upset over the mainstream media coverage the Rollins leaks got, including from radio personality Elvis Duran, who spoke about it for 15 minutes on Tuesday.
Duran's radio show is syndicated nationally and one of the most listened-to radio shows in New York City.
It was reported that WWE officials sent out a memo on Tuesday telling the talent not to talk publicly about the Rollins news. The latest news claims that there were short meetings to reinforce social media etiquette at the SmackDown tapings in Dayton and at WWE headquarters in Stamford on Tuesday
Talents were also told to remove risqué photos from their cell phones to avoid any other issues in the future.
It's worth noting that Wrestlingheadlines.com reports that it reached out to the WWE for comment and the company said the stories about the possible fine for Rollins and subsequent meetings on Tuesday were untrue.
It's unknown if Rollins will be punished for sure for what happened, but the internet is buzzing over the fallout of the leaked photos.
