Two legends were injured in recent matches with WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins, but WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross doesn't believe people should read too much into it.
Rollins broke Cena's nose with an errant knee to the face during their match on Monday Night RAW in July and Sting was the latest person to deal with a serious ailment when mixing it up with "The Architect." The former WCW and TNA icon suffered a serious neck injury during his Night of Champions match with Rollins on Sunday. The ailment could be career-threatening and occurred when the former Shield member hit his patented Buckle Bomb on "The Vigilante."

Though two WWE Superstars have been hurt at the hands of the reigning World Champion, Ross noted in his Q&A section at JrsBarbq.com that he doesn't believe Rollins is dangerous in the ring. WWE Hall of Famer Bret "Hitman" Hart labeled Rollins breaking Cena's nose a "major mistake' in the past.
"It's a physical business and certainly isn't ballet," Ross wrote, according to WrestlingNews.co. "Accidents happen. If a trend develops, and two situations isn't a trend, then you may have a valid point."
Seth Rollins vs. Kane Will Be A Disaster
Ross also commented on the way WWE has booked Rollins in the aftermath of him winning the richest prize in the promotion at WrestleMania 31 in March. The former announcer said he has no problem with the way he's being booked right now despite his creative direction and new developments with Kane drawing the ire of many fans in the WWE Universe.
"Booking is highly subjective and can't truly be judged over the short-term," Ross said. "I'd likely tweak how Rollins is being booked, but that doesn't make me right either. I think WWE is setting him up for an eventual face turn down the road and I have no issues with where Seth is at this time as it's a marathon and not a sprint even though many fans today have little to no patience."
Rollins has been tremendous in the ring, which is partly why he was awarded the belt, but he certainly could afford to be a little more careful inside the squared circle.
