According to a report by Fightful Select, Riddle’s injury is not real, but is all part of a storyline to explain why the match will not be taking place at Saturday’s SummerSlam.
Sources told Fightful Select there are still plans to do the match in the future, and that the change was made due to “creative adjustments.”
The report also notes that Rollins and Riddle were informed of the change hours before Raw went on the air. Riddle was attacked by Rollins at the end of Raw on Monday.
It is being further said that as of now, the tentative plan is for Rollins vs. Riddle to take place at Clash At The Castle in September. However, those plans are also said not to be final as of yet. Fightful Select further noted that Rollins is expected to be in Nashville for SummerSlam weekend and is still booked for certain media obligations. There was no information on if Riddle will remain home to sell the injury or make an appearance this weekend.
