#2. Seth Rollins suffers the worst injury of his career at a WWE live event in Ireland - November 4th, 2015

Seth Rollins was the reigning WWE World Heavyweight Champion when he suffered the worst injury of his career.

During a match against Kane at a live event in Dublin, Ireland, The Architect of The Shield landed awkwardly during a sunset flip. Rollins was subsequently sidelined with a torn ACL, torn MCL, and torn medical meniscus. Due to these injuries, he was out of action for more than six months.

Rollins was forced to relinquish his title, but he made it clear that he would reclaim it when he came back.

During his absence, Roman Reigns won the gold, and Rollins, determined to regain his championship, targeted his former Shield teammate upon his return at Extreme Rules 2016.

Shortly thereafter, The Architect won the gold again at Money in the Bank 2016, but he immediately lost it. His former Shield stablemate Dean Ambrose cashed in his Money in the Bank Contract and defeated Rollins to walk away with the gold.
