Huge bummer for wrestling fans today: Seth Rollins’ reign as WWE champion has come to an abrupt end.
Per ESPN’s Jonathan Coachman, Rollins tore his ACL, MCL, and medial meniscus Wednesday during a match against Kane in Ireland:

Because of the injury, Rollins will be forced to vacate the title and a new champion will be determined at a Survivor Series tournament.
Rollins sustained the injury after a botched a sunset flip powerbomb from the top rope:
