Seth Rollins’ Horrific Knee Injury Status Visible in Leaked WrestleMania Clip Against Roman Reigns

Seth Rollins has been working day in and day out for a few years now. At WrestleMania 40, he lost the WWE World Heavyweight Championship and managed to help Cody Rhodes defeat Roman Reigns despite receiving a hard saddle from Roman via a Spear.

Now that the blockbuster feud has ended, Seth Rollins has finally decided to take a break. And why not? Rollins’ injury troubles are common knowledge amongst the pro wrestling community. In fact, in a viral video, fans can see Rollins in pain yet playing his part to perfection at WrestleMania 40.

Seth Rollins fights through the pain to get into the ring at WrestleMania 40

At WrestleMania 40, during the main event, Seth Rollins appeared in the ring to help Cody Rhodes finish his story. In one particular spot, he enters the ring with a chair to turn the tables. However, he received a Superman punch and a chair shot from Roman Reigns for his troubles. In a clip shared by a fan, we can see behind the broadcast footage where it is clear that Rollins is in excruciating pain.

The Visionary has endured a difficult few months physically. In January, during a match against Jinder Mahal on RAW for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, he incurred a serious injury. He suffered a partial meniscus tear and a second-degree tear of the medial collateral ligament. Rollins did not have surgery and opted for therapy to return to the ring as soon as possible. Something he achieved, as he wrestled in March in several live shows and twice at WrestleMania 40. However, after the event and without the responsibility of having one of the world titles in his hands, Seth Rollins underwent surgery. This means that he could miss appearing on WWE programming for quite some time. But how long will the fans have to wait?

The Visionary could be out on the sidelines for more than 6 months

Seth Rollins has been absent from WWE’s weekly schedule since WrestleMania 40. This past week, his wife, Becky Lynch, confirmed that her husband had to undergo surgery. This ensures that the former WWE World Heavyweight champion has to now turn his attention towards optimal rest and recovery.

On the latest episode of Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer also laid out a timeline for the WWE star’s return. He revealed that Seth Rollins’ rehabilitation process could take at least 8 months in the worst-case scenario. However, if the procedure is done optimally with minor complications, then the WWE star could return to the ring in 2-3 months. Before news of the surgery came to light, reports had suggested that The Visionary would undergo a break. Nevertheless, his departure was to be short. However, now it looks like the timeline for his return could take longer than expected. The WWE Universe would not want it any other way too, as they would want to see the best version of Seth Rollins,, especially after his labored actions during WrestleMania 40.
