Seth Rollins was defeated by Kevin Owens at Clash Of Champions after some interference from Chris Jericho. After the match, Rollins received a standing ovation from the crowd as he hobbled out holding his ribs (you can see from the video above). Was Rollins selling or could he be injured?
There was a spot during the match where Rollins took a gutbuster off of the top rope from Owens. It looked like the move botched a bit and Rollins hit his ribs pretty hard. It also looked like Rollins was struggling a bit to breathe.
The Wrestling Observer’s Bryan Alvarez, immediately tweeted that it looked like Seth was hurt:
Seth might have legit injured his ribs on that gutbuster. #WWEUniversalTitle

On Wrestling Observer Radio (subscription required but recommended) after the show, Alvarez and Dave Meltzer talked about it briefly, saying that Rollins was having trouble breathing backstage after the match.
If this turns out to be true than it is a certainly a rib injury of some sort. I guess we will have to wait until RAW to see if Rollins wrestles or they keep him from doing anything.
Let us know what you think.
