From backstage reports to interpretations of televised segments, there are few concrete details in the ongoing Seth Rollins injury rabbithole. While WWE has been tight-lipped regarding the situation, Wrestling Observer’s Bryan Alvarez has come out to state the legitimacy of Rollins’ injury with confidence.

“[Rollins] definitely has a shoulder injury,” Alvarez declared. “It was from the coast-to-coast headbutt. He is hurt, and so [WWE] pulled the trigger on the Bron Breakker turn on Seth Rollins, and…it’s it. The Vision is over!”

A clip of a recent Wrestling Observer broadcast featured Alvarez disclosing all known details about Rollins’ current health situation was posted Tuesday evening. In the clip, Alvarez attested to the legitimacy of Rollins’ injury, but he did not claim to know the severity of said injury. According to Alvarez, Rollins is en route to Birmingham for a medical assessment to determine whether surgery is necessary.

Alvarez also claimed that, moving forward, Breakker, Bronson Reed, and Paul Heyman will be the heel team for Survivor Series: WarGames. Interestingly, Alvarez named Austin Theory as a probable replacement for Rollins’ place on the WarGames team. Whether the former “A-Town Down Under” act will associate himself with The Vision — WarGames or not — has yet to be hinted at or confirmed on WWE programming.

“There were plans for Seth to run The Vision at least through WrestleMania,” Alvarez continued. “The original WrestleMania idea was Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns. And…my guess is that Roman Reigns [was] probably going to beat Seth, and that was going to be the catalyst, probably [at] the “Raw” after WrestleMania, for Bron Breakker turning on Seth Rollins, and they strap the rocket onto the guy.”

Alvarez ended by implying that Breakker’s original post-WrestleMania push is still possible. Whether WWE will follow through with a version of their original Vision plans remains to be seen.

Two weeks after his unanimous-decision victory over Canelo Ãlvarez, Terence Crawford celebrated Saturday with a parade in his hometown of Omaha, Nebraska.

The Ring magazine provided full coverage of Crawford’s parade, which saw the undefeated fighter show appreciation for his supporters while making his way down the streets of Omaha:

Once the parade was over, Crawford addressed the crowd while on stage and also spoke directly to his mother and grandmother, saying, “We made it.”

The mayor of Omaha, John Ewing Jr., presented Crawford with the key to the city, which made for a funny moment when Crawford asked what the key opens:

Several notable stars sent video messages to congratulate Crawford, which was played on a big screen. They included rapper Eminem, NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal, Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum, UFC president Dana White and volleyball player Brooke Nuneviller:

Despite being 41-0 and having held world titles across four different weight classes, Crawford was a decided underdog going into his clash with Canelo.

That was largely due to the fact that Crawford had to move up in weight in order to face Ãlvarez.

That didn’t seem to matter for Crawford, as “Bud” was the decidedly quicker and more effective fighter, taking the action to Canelo en route to winning the WBA (Super), WBC, IBF, WBO and The Ring super middleweight titles.

Crawford improved to 42-0 with that victory, and he may have cemented himself as the unquestioned No. 1 pound-for-pound boxer in the world.

It is unclear what’s next for Crawford, or if he even plans on fighting again, but he finally has a signature win under his belt against a boxer who was the face of the sport for the past several years.

HOUSTON — Astros All-Star left fielder Yordan Alvarez left Monday night’s 6-3 win against the Texas Rangers because of a sprained left ankle that he hurt while crossing home plate and will undergo an MRI on Tuesday.

“It did not look good out on the field,” Astros manager Joe Espada said.

Through a team spokesman Alvarez declined to speak to reporters after the game until he knew more about the nature of his injury, but he was seen leaving the Astros clubhouse on a crutch and with a boot on his left foot.

Alvarez appeared to slip as he crossed the plate in the first inning, scoring from first base on a throwing error by Rangers pitcher Jack Leiter on Carlos Correa’s infield single. Alvarez was tended to by an athletic trainer outside the Astros’ dugout and then helped down the steps.

Zachary Cole entered the game in right field in the second inning, with Jesus Sanchez moving to left. Cole homered and drove in three runs after replacing the injured Alvarez.

The team announced the injury a couple of innings after Alvarez left the game.

“I saw him coming around, and when he stepped on home plate, I had a front-row seat,” Astros shortstop Jeremy Pena said. “His ankle kind of twisted, then when he went to plant again, I saw it twist again. It’s not pretty. You don’t want to see that.”

Alvarez entered Monday’s game batting .273 with six home runs and 27 RBIs but has been limited to 47 games because of a fractured right hand that forced him to sit out 101 games.

Houston pulled within a half-game of the streaking Seattle Mariners atop the AL West and moved three games ahead of Cleveland and Texas for the final American League wild card.
