February 13, 2017 Wrestling Observer Newsletter: NJPW New Beginning review, WWE Fast Lane/Elimination Chamber cards, more

While details have been kept sketchy, Seth Rollins (Colby Lopez) suffered a torn right MCL in a 1/30 angle when his legs were dangling as Samoa Joe pulled him down for the choke.

On the 2/6 Raw show, the injury was covered but with nothing definitive said past teasing the idea he would miss WrestleMania. Right now, the company is going with the idea that he will be able to wrestle and that the match with HHH is still on.

The Rollins injury is expected to keep him off the 3/5 Fast Lane show in Milwaukee, where he was to face Samoa Joe. At this point, nothing has been teased regarding whether Joe will wrestle on that PPV, or who he would face at WrestleMania. Joe was brought in at a top level and pinned Roman Reigns with interference from Braun Strowman in the main event of the 2/6 Raw show in Portland, OR.

Kevin Owens vs. Bill Goldberg for the Universal title was made the main event at Fast Lane, along with Reigns vs. Strowman.
