Seth Rollins could miss WrestleMania 40 after the injury scare

Dave Meltzer revealed a concern about changing the plans for the main event of WrestleMania 40 Night One. He expressed his disappointment that if he missed more than three months, he would lose all the momentum as champion and miss the spectacle. 

"This would be a bad time if he needs to be out for a couple of months. Really Really Bad. He's got a big program and everything, he's got a championship. If it's a week, it's a week. You know, whatever.  It'd kill a lot of momentum and be frustrating for him. Three months would be not the greatest either. He'd miss WrestleMania for three months, yeah,"

Fans are hopeful that Seth will make a quick recovery and return to wrestling soon. The whole WWE Universe is waiting for the match between Rollins and CM Punk at WrestleMania 40. Only time will tell whether Rollins’ injury will ruin that or not.
