Rollins only returned in May from a torn ACL, so this could be quite the setback.
Samoa Joe played up the injury in kayfabe by Tweeting Triple H:

Ryback Doesn’t Hold Grudges
In a recent interview with the Buzzard’s Wrestling Podcast Ryback said he doesn’t hold a grudge against CM Punk:
“Life’s too short to hold grudges and to hate people. And I don’t agree with everything he did when we worked together and he did me no favors at all. And he was one of my least favorite people to work with up there. He’s very difficult and didn’t like to communicate and things of that nature. But he was very bitter and negative towards his feelings of WWE at the time, so I understand it and I don’t take it so personal now.”
Orton On Having Right Attitude
While talking with ESPN, Randy Orton said that having the right attitude is important to making it in WWE:
“When you start hoping too much, you start believing your own hype, and the next thing you know, you can’t do that here or you’ll get buried and get kicked out of the door. You can’t change in the locker room if you are one of those guys. The attitude has to be on point here.”
