Nearly two months ago, Seth Rollins sustained a serious shoulder injury during his bout with Cody Rhodes at Crown Jewel, which forced him to relinquish the World Heavyweight Championship. Initially, it was expected that Rollins would be out of action until the end of the year. However, last Tuesday, Rollins mentioned that he might return within eight to twelve weeks, aiming for a comeback by February in time for WrestleMania 42. This week, Rollins shared even more optimistic news about his recovery.
During an appearance on “The Rich Eisen Show,” Rollins disclosed that his healing has progressed significantly, although he did not specify an exact return date. He said, “It’s going well. I got the brace off last week, mid-last week. So, it’s good. It’s nice to be able to walk around like a normal person…I feel fine. It’s great to be able to walk around without the brace. I say that.”
To justify his absence on WWE programming, Rollins was effectively ousted from his own faction, The Vision, when Bron Breaker, Bronson Reed, and Paul Heyman turned against him on “WWE RAW” following Crown Jewel. This betrayal was one of the year’s most shocking moments. It remains uncertain whether Rollins will immediately pursue revenge upon his return or focus on reclaiming the championship he never lost in competition.
Fan Take: Seth Rollins’ positive recovery update is thrilling news for WWE fans eagerly anticipating his return. His comeback could ignite major storyline developments, elevating the drama and excitement in WWE’s pursuit of compelling championship narratives.
