WWE's grandaddy of them all, WrestleMania 40, is coming up in a matter of months. As the card comes together on the road to WrestleMania, it is evident that some things pay have to change along the way. Seth Rollins' recent possible injury is further proof of that.

CM Punk's return to WWE is remembered for a lot of things, including how Seth Rollins reacted to seeing him in the Allstate Arena to close out Survivor Series. Rollins was irate, and video of him being held back from rushing at Punk.

Fans did not forget that, just a few months prior, Rollins called Punk "cancer" and told him to stay away" from WWE. This came up with Nick Hausman questioned Rollins whether he wanted to see Punk back during his AEW issues.

The Wrestling Observer Newsletter noted that "Seth Rollins vs. Punk is the confirmed WrestleMania plan." That is the plan, but Rollins' recent injury really puts a huge question mark on things.

It was not noted whether their match would be for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, but Rollins' current status as champion makes that a real possibility.

Seth Rollins defended the WWE World Heavyweight Title against Jinder Mahal on RAW this week, and the Visionary won with his signature Stomp. Sadly, he didn't make it through the match without sustaining an injury.

We are uncertain about the current extent of Seth Rollins' injury, but we do know that he was pulled from this weekend's WWE live events. No official word has come through about his injury status, but this is not a good sign.

We will provide further updates on Seth Rollins' knee injury when they are made available. Right now, he is taking it easy and sitting out this weekend's shows. Hopefully, CM Punk doesn't lose a possible WrestleMania main event match in this fashion.
