– Seth Rollins & Dakota Kai are reportedly both dealing with legit injuries:

“I don’t know how serious, but I asked if those (angles with Seth Rollins & Dakota Kai) were storyline covers for injuries and I was told they BOTH were.

But Seth is not a bad situation, Seth is cleared to wrestle but he’s banged up, so it was a good time for him to take time off. I don’t know if he’ll be back for the PPV against Bronson Reed.”
