Roman Reigns is regarded as one of WWE's brightest new stars. He was to take part in one of the featured matches in Sunday's "Night of Champions" event.

The former Georgia Tech defensive tackle's match with Seth Rollins was called off, however, as WWE.com reported that Reigns was rushed to a Tennessee hospital to undergo emergency surgery for an incarcerated hernia.

Here's what WWE said on its site:

My best wishes go out to @WWERomanReigns as he undergoes surgery for an incarcerated hernia. Feel better soon, man!
